Assignment 3A – Lesson Plan Rationale

Directions
Thinking about the class context information and students’ assets and learning needs for the whole class and
focus students, briefly respond to the following prompts (no more than 7 pages). Type your responses
underneath each prompt. Do not delete or alter the prompts.

Consider how your lesson plan in Week 4 WILL address the following areas. You will complete a lesson plan in
Week 4 – Assignment 4A.

1.Prior Academic Knowledge:


Explain how the lesson plan will build on students’ prior academic knowledge related to the content-specific
learning goal(s) selected for the lesson.

2.Student Assets and Learning Needs:


Explain how the lesson plan will incorporate or build on students’ cultural and linguistic resources,
socioeconomic backgrounds, funds of knowledge, prior experiences, and interests related to the content of
the lesson.

3.Student Learning Activities:


Explain why you selected the learning activities and how you will engage all students in higher-order thinking
(analysis, synthesis, evaluation, interpretation, transfer) and applications of concepts or skills to purposefully
advance their understanding of the specific content (e.g., use of manipulatives, think-pair-share, models,
drawings or maps, graphic organizers, performances, demonstrations, labs).

4.Instructional Strategies:
Explain why you will use specific instructional strategies and what adaptations you might make to improve
student access to learning. Describe how you will support student engagement with the content you are
teaching in this lesson (e.g., modeling, scaffolding, asking questions, providing instructions to guide an
activity).

5.Student Grouping:
Explain your rationale for grouping students in this lesson—whole group, small group, pairs, individual—and
why you think this will support student learning.

6.Academic Language Development:
How will you address the academic language development needs of the students you are teaching, including
English learners and Standard English learners? What vocabulary or terminology is necessary to access the
content?

7.Resources and Materials to Support Learning:


Explain why you chose particular resources and materials to support student learning and language demands
in this lesson. What is the difficulty level of text, materials, or resources needed for the lesson?

8.Assessments:
Explain how the assessments will check on students’ understanding of the content taught during the lesson.

9.Developmental considerations (e.g., social-emotional, typical and atypical


child/adolescent development):
Explain how the lesson plan addresses the developmental considerations of your students.

10.Focus Students:
Explain how the lesson plan addresses individual needs of the 3 focus students, including as appropriate,
assistive technologies, and provides inclusive learning opportunities (if relevant, may include an explanation of
additional support that occurs outside the classroom) to engage fully with the content of the lesson.

The 3 focus students can be from your own class, your ITL 604 class (previous course), or you may select from
the avatars in SimSchool. You may also select from a list of focus students.
