Lesson Plans(Purpose)

• Purpose- – must cover content of class

– needs to be relevant to students

– examples:• This lesson will help students understand the migration of

humpback whale as it relates to the fishing industry• This lesson will explain to students how to perform subtraction

problems with 0-9 subtrahends.• Students will learn the differences between Gore’s and Bush’s

education policies

Lesson Plans (Objectives)

• Objectives-– match purpose

– Measurable and observable

– include time frame• example - At the end of the lesson, the students will answer 10

subtraction questions on a teacher made test with 100% accuracy using hands-on manipulatives

• Write an objective for teaching a student to read words that start with the /r/ sound.

Lesson Plan (Materials and time span)

• Materials-– Must be appropriate for the student’s age and academic

level– only use accessible teacher materials

• example: plastic cups, thin rope, cut-out letters, flip cards for pluses and minus, toothpicks

• (nothing possibly dangerous)– must be readily available for ease of transitions

• example: If computer based, state where computers are located.

• What are pros and cons for using hands-on materials?

Lesson Plan(Procedures)

• Should use previous knowledge (schema)

• Must apply to the measurable objectives

• Can work as assessment or independent from assessment.

• Should be observable

• Age and grade appropriate

Teaching strategies(Mercer & Mercer, 1998)

• Advanced Organizer

• I do it• We do it• You do it

• Feedback

Lesson Plan (Assessment)

• Must match the objective• Know how to assess and the needed criteria for

independence at each task.• Must be observable• What would you use to assess these:

– Reading a passage with proper pronunciation on /th/ and /sh/ sounds.

– Recall 10 important dates of WWII.– Solve addition problems with 0-9 addends?

Lesson Plan(Analysis of mastery)

• Evaluation criteria– Grade listings

– Requirements:• Below 80%- need for revision

• Between 80%-90%- continue at this level

• Above 90%- move on to multiple variables

– Feedback planned:• Follow-up in class or out of class planned.

When is 100% not appropriate for mastery

Application

• Design a lesson plan for teaching how to learn the differences between the words:– Shirt; ship; think; thick.

• Design a lesson plan for teaching addition with 5’s.

• Design a lesson plan for teaching the parts of insects.

Summary

• What components should be included in a lesson plan.

• Objectives should be ___________ and ________________.

• Educational materials should be _________.
