**Be sure to include any strategies, resources, and/or technology that will be used to answer the question where
appropriate. You should have a technology tool integrated into each effective lesson component.**
Standard 1: Learning Purpose and Connections
What will the students be learning?
What are the big concepts for the lesson?
How will students know the objectives for the lesson? [Daily Objective]
How will students know the purpose and relevance of the lesson?
What resources/technology will help students make connections to previous learning? [Daily Review]
How will students receive feedback for their review?
How will students build their current knowledge?
How will the lesson be introduced? [Introduction]
-The big concepts are knowing what the five senses are, what they do, and what body part is associated with each.
-The objectives will be written on the front board under the science tab.
-The students will know the purpose and relevance of the lesson by watching an informational short on Brain Pop
-The resources used will be iPads or desktops used with apps and websites such as Brainpop.
-Students will receive feedback orally on their Kahoot! quiz scores.
-Students will build their current knowledge with the use of various types of activities to reinforce different learning styles.
-The lesson will be introduced with questions on if anyone knows what the five senses are. That will segue into a power point presentation.
Standard 2: Learning Tasks and Cognitive Demands
How are students supported in achieving the learning goals?
What Depth of Knowledge levels will students experience in the learning tasks?
How will students be supported to experience deeper learning? Address any SPED, Gifted or ELL students [Concept and Skill
Development and Application]
How will students be challenged to advance their thinking and skills? [Concept and Skill Development and Application]
-The depth of knowledge in achieving the learning tasks is relatively easy, since it is just memorization at this point.
-The students will be supported to experience deeper learning when connecting how the senses interact with each other. This will be accomplished by keeping
discussion open between students on the todays meet website. If they are not able to do it on their own, the instructor will intervene to give hints and help out.
-The students will be challenged to advance their skills with discussions on todays meet, with an incentive to participate. The incentive would be points on Class
Dojo. Since this program notifies their parents if they are doing well, they will be pushed to succeed.
Standard 3: Engagement Strategies and Discourse
How will students engage in interactive dialogue and/or discussions? [Guided/Independent/Group Practice]
How will students develop their skills in argumentation, explanation, and critique, using logic/evidence to support or refute a claim or
position?
How will students use multiple representations of concepts in their thinking? (i.e., graphic organizers, visuals, drawings, concept maps,
videos, simulations, data formats)
What opportunities will students have to use their personal experiences and knowledge to connect to the new concepts and skills?
How will students collaborate with each other?
-The students will use skills as explained above in order to participate in the discussion on Todays meet. It would be discussion on how the senses interact with
each other.
-The students will be able to use a paint application on the ipads to illustrate a picture of the human body, labeled with the senses and the body parts associated
with them.
-The students will be able to share their personal experiences by finding a visual aid to go with their experience, and posting it to the Edmodo class board for the
Class to view from the smart board.
-Students will collaborate with each other by using Todays meet.
Standard 4: Student Understanding of and Responsibility for Learning
How will students reflect on their learning progress through structured metacognitive activities?
How will students reflect on the learning goals, the performance criteria and purpose of the lesson?
How will students share their progress?
How will students be supported in revising their learning strategies based on their progress?
-Students will reflect on the learning goals by having a quick review orally. If there is anything that needs to be explained over again, the whole class will go back
and review together.
-Students will share their progress on their own weebly blog page. At the beginning of the year, it will be created as a portfolio for them, and act as a journal for
what they learn.
-The students will be supported on revising their learning strategies by text or email. They will receive feedback and encouragement in class with a reinforced email
to remind them what we have talked about.
Standard 5: Assessment Integrated into Instruction
How will student progress be assessed?
How were student pre-assessments or work samples used to plan this lesson?
What evidence of student learning will be generated during the lesson? (i.e., writing, one-to-one conferencing, discussions with peers,
instructional tasks)
How will students receive formative feedback?
How are instructional adjustments made based on student formative assessment results?
What homework will be issued to support the lesson. [Homework]
How will the lesson be closed? [Closure]
How will the lesson be reviewed? [Long-term Review]
-To assess the students work, we will be playing a Kahoot! Game in which the lesson will be reviewed. I will be able to see which students got answers correct or
incorrect, and I will review individually with students that need the help.
-Students will receive feedback based on their Kahoot! scores. It will show which students are leading, and I will go over their scores after the quiz game.
-If a student is indeed struggling, we will set up a time to do one on one teaching during the quiet reading time. In that time, the student will play an educational
App Body Parts For Kids by Tinytapps. The student will play the game with guidance if necessary to further undertand the information.
-The homework issued will be a writing assignment. To write a descriptive paragraph and explain what sense enables them to experience what they describe. They
can also draw a picture to accompany it if they would like me to put it up on our display board.
-The lesson will be closed with a transition to the next topic, as well as a sneak peek at what is to come in the next science lesson.
-Long term review will be a test after the unit is finished.
