EC-6ESL/BilingualLessonPlanFormatA. Background Information

1. Name: 2. Content Area: 3. Topic: 4. Grade:

B. Goals and Objectives

1. TEKS: Write out the specific TEKS

2. Content Objective: This should be state behaviorally (condition, skill (from the TEKS), action verb, & criteria)

3. ELPS: Write out the specific ELPS

4. Language Objective: From the ELPS

5. Materials Needed: 6. Technology Needed:

C. Pre-Assessment related to TEKS and Objectives

Collection of data to determine what students already know related to the TEKS and Objectives. Activating prior knowledge

D. Key Vocabulary:

The new vocabulary the students will encounter during the lesson. To be presented within the context of the lesson. (Minimum of five).

E. Instructional Procedures This section must include the instructional procedures. Below is an example of what this would look like for a Direct Instruction Lesson. You can reorder the components for an Indirect Lesson or include the components of a 5E Lesson Plan.

• Introduction of the Topic o Anticipatory Set (Focus) - Sometimes this is called the “hook” or “mind capture”

and is used to grab the student’s attention. Describe exactly what you are going to do or say to the students to relate to them the objectives of the lesson and put them in a receptive frame of mind.

o Purpose of Introduction is to: § To focus the student’s attention on the lesson § To create an organizing the framework for the ideas, principles, or

information that is to follow (sometimes called “advance organizers”) § To extend the understanding and the application of abstract ideas through

the use of examples or analogies) § To refer to prior learning

o Teaching: Input – The teacher provides the information needed for students to gain the knowledge or skill through lecture, film, tape, video, pictures, exploration, experimentation, discussion, etc.

22

o Teaching: Modeling – Once the material has been presented, the teacher uses it to show students examples of what is expected as an end product of their work, The critical aspects are explained through labeling, categorizing, comparing, etc. (AKA “I do it”)

o Guided Practice – This is an opportunity for each student to demonstrate their understanding of the new learning by working through an activity or exercise under the teacher’s direct supervision and with the teacher’s support (scaffold). The teacher moves around the room to determine the level of mastery and to provide individual remediation as needed. (AKA “We do it”)

o Checking for Understanding– This is a determination of whether students have “got it” before proceeding. It is essential that students practice doing it right so the teacher must know that students understand before proceeding to Independent Practice. If there is any doubt that the class has not understood, the concept/skill should be re-taught before Independent Practice begins.

• Re-Teaching o How will you teach these objectives again in a different way for:

students who did not meet them in the lesson? all students as a review? § Modifications

o What modifications would you make for students with special needs/IEP? o What language modification would you do for beginners, intermediate,

advanced English learners (ELs) • Extensions

o How might you extend this lesson for children of more advanced abilities?

F. Assessment

• Independent Practice – Once pupils have mastered the content or skill, it is time to provide for reinforcement for practice. It may be homework, or individual work in class. It is the opportunity for students to apply what they have learned. (“You can do it)

• What did the students do during this lesson to let you know they had met the objectives stated above?

• What were the behaviorally/observable ways that he students met the objectives for this lesson?

G. Summary for the Students of What Has Been Learned

• Closure - made up of actions or statements by a teacher that are designed to bring a lesson presentation to an appropriate conclusion. Closure is used to help students bring things together in their own minds, to make sense out of what has just been taught. “Any questions? No. OK, let’s move on” is not closure. Closure is used to:

o To cue students to the facts that they have arrived at an important point in the lesson or the end of a lesson

o To help organize student learning o To help form a coherent picture, to consolidate eliminate confusion and frustration,

etc.

23

o To reinforce the major points to be learned...to help establish a network of thought relationships that provide a number of possibilities for cues for retrieval.

o To review and clarify the key points of a lesson, tying them together into a coherent whole, and ensuring their utility in application by securing them in the student’s conceptual framework.

References Be sure to include an APA 6th ed. reference for all sources of information used in planning this lesson – including the TEKS and ELPS standards.

B. Goals and Objectives

1. TEKS Write out the specific TEKS (Include at least 2 TEKS: 1 that addresses the Scientific investigation and reasoning skills and 1 that address a specific content)

2. Content Objective: This should be state behaviorally (condition, skill (from TEKS), action verb, and criteria)

3. ELPS: Write out the specific ELPS

4. Language Objective: From the ELPS

5. Materials Needed: 6. Technology Needed:

C. Pre-Assessment related to TEKS and Objectives

D. Key Vocabulary:

The new vocabulary the students will encounter during the lesson. To be presented within the context of the lesson. (Minimum of five)

E. Instructional Procedures

This section must include the instructional procedures. Below is an example of what this would look like for an inquiry-based, 5E learning cycle.

• Engage o Sometimes this is called the “hook”, “mind capture”, or “anticipatory set”

and is used to grab the student’s attention. Describe exactly what you are going to do or say to the students to put them in a receptive frame of mind.

o Purpose of the Engage is to: § Focus the student’s attention on the lesson § Create an organizing of the framework for the ideas, principles, or

information that is to follow § Refer to prior learning

• Explore o What inquiry-based, hands-on activity will you provide students which allow

them to begin constructing concepts and developing skills?

26

o Teacher Modeling: What information will the teacher share (without providing the concept) to assist students in the investigation? What instructions will students need to safely complete the investigation?

o Guided Practice: What will students do to develop understanding of a concept? What data will students be collecting and analyzing?

o Checking for Understanding: What questions will the teacher ask while students are investigating to guide them to understanding the concept?

• Explain o How will students be encouraged to share their ideas once the investigation

is complete? o How will the teacher clarify any misconceptions or misunderstandings? o Checking for Understanding: What questions will the teacher ask to

determine student understanding? o Teaching: Input – The teacher clarifies any misunderstandings the students

may have. • Elaborate

o How will students connect their understanding to new, yet similar, situations?

o How will students connect their understanding to the real-world? • Re-Teaching

o How will you teach these objectives again in a different way for: students who did not meet them in the lesson? All students as a review?

• Modifications o What modifications would you make for students with special needs/IEP? o What language modification would you do for beginners, intermediate, and

advanced English learners (ELs)? • Extensions

o How might you extend this lesson for children of more advanced abilities?

F. Assessment • Evaluate - How will students be assessed? Use a variety of methods of evaluation;

both formative and summative as well as need to be identified and explained. o What did the students do during this lesson to let you know they had met the

objectives stated above? o What were the behaviorally/observable ways that the students met the

objectives for this lesson?

G. Summary for the Students of What Has Been Learned • Closure – made up of actions or statements by a teacher that are designed to bring a

lesson presentation to an appropriate conclusion. Closure is used to help students bring things together in their own minds, to make sense out of what has just been taught. “Any questions? No. OK, let’s move on” is not closure. Closure is used to:

o Cue Students to the facts that they have arrived at an important point in the lesson or the end of a lesson.

o Help organize student thinking. o Help form a coherent picture, to consolidate/eliminate confusion and

27

o Reinforce the major points to be learned…to help establish a network of thought relationships that provide a number of possibilities for cues for retrieval.
