Lesson ContentWhat Standards (national or state) relate to this lesson?(You should include ALL applicable standards. Rarely do teachers use just one: they’d never get through them all.)LAFS.4.RL.1.2: Determine a theme of a story, drama, or poem from details in the text; summarize the text.LAFS.4.RL.1.3: Describe in depth a character, setting, or event in a story or drama, drawing on specific details in the text (e.g., a character’s thoughts, words, or actions).LAFS.4.RL.2.4: Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, including those that allude to significant characters found in mythology (e.g., Herculean).LAFS.4.RL.2.6: Compare and contrast the point of view from which different stories are narrated, including the difference between first- and third-person narrations.Essential Understanding(What is the big idea or essential question that you want students to come away with? In other words, what, aside from the standard and our objective, will students understand when they finish this lesson?) How can I determine the theme of a fantasy story based on details from the text?How can I use details from the text to describe characters, setting, and events in a story?How can I use context clues to determine the meaning of a set of terms?How can I use analyses of a text to determine the point of view from which the text is narrated?Objectives- What are you teaching?(Student-centered: What will students know and be able to do after this lesson? Include the ABCD’s of objectives: action, behavior, condition, and degree of mastery, i.e., "C: Given a sentence written in the past or present tense, A: the student B: will be able to re-write the sentence in future tense D: with no errors in tense or tense contradiction (i.e., I will see her yesterday.)." Note: Degree of mastery does not need to be a percentage.)Reading: Students will be able to:Use and analyze details from the text to determine the theme of a given story.Use and analyze details from the text to thoroughly describe characters, settings and events in a given story.Use context clues to determine the meaning of given terms.Thoroughly analyze a given text to determine and explain the point of view from which a given text is narrated.Writing: Students will be able to apply writing tips and strategies to a free write on the topic that they choose.RationaleAddress the following questions:Why are you teaching this objective? Where does this lesson fit within a larger plan? Why are you teaching it this way?Why is it important for students to learn this concept?These objectives are being taught in order to adequately scaffold students to be able to complete FSA-styled questions and written prompts so that students will be successful on their FSA. The writing objectives are being taught in order to ensure that students have practice in analyzing text sources to fully answer a given prompt. The objectives are important because they are designed to provide students with the opportunity to better understand the importance of breaking-down and decoding text sources to better understand the meaning of the text and better develop students’ comprehension skills.Evaluation Plan- How will you know students have mastered your objectives?Address the following: What formative evidence will you use to document student learning during this lesson?What summative evidence will you collect, either during this lesson or in upcoming lessons?Formative: Teachers will observe student work to determine which students may need additional assistance provided through a small group setting (Core, Enrich, Reteach model). Teacher(s) will then organize small groups to determine where and why students are struggling and the best strategies to implement in order to ensure student success. Teacher(s) will also use student questions as a means for determining where students are struggling so that the teacher can, if necessary, pull the group back together in a whole class setting to address issues that are class-wide. Prior to the Plickers assessment (3/6) the teacher will conduct a short question and answer session on the story and provide a few reminders on the story on which the assessment is based.Summative: The teacher will develop a Plickers assessment for the students to complete at the end of the unit. The teacher will also analyze student responses to various questions throughout the text to determine students’ understanding of the story and the content-specific questions being asked.What Content Knowledge is necessary for a teacher to teach this material?Students will need to be able to identify the meaning and purpose of theme. Students will also need to know how to analyze a given text in order to determine the theme of a particular story and how to justify their choices. Students will need to understand how to analyze a given text in order to identify the point of view from which a particular story is being told and how to describe the purpose and impact the point of view has on a story.What background knowledge is necessary for a student to successfully meet these objectives? How will you ensure students’ have this previous knowledge? Who are your learners? What do you know about them?What do you know about their readiness for this content? Students will need to know how to identify the theme of a story, how to provide sufficient text evidence to support the theme, how to identify the point of view from which a story is being narrated, how to provide sufficient text evidence that supports students’ claims for the point of view, how to use context clues to define vocabulary terms, and how to identify and remember the tips and strategies that students will need during the FSA writing assessment. Students will have been exposed to this material prior to the unit and the teacher will provide a short mini-lesson that provides a review of the material being utilized.What misconceptions might students have about this content?Misconceptions may include:Understanding themeUnderstanding point of viewUnderstanding how to provide text evidence to support themeUnderstanding how to provide text evidence to support point of viewUnderstanding how to utilize text resources to answer a series of questionsLesson Implementation Teaching Methods(What teaching method(s) will you use during this lesson? Examples include guided release, 5 Es, direct instruction, lecture, demonstration, partner word, etc.)This lesson will follow a direct instruction method, wherein the teacher will provide a short review of the text, answer student questions, and then present the Plickers assessment. Following the Plickers assessment, the lesson will develop a guided release method approach, where we review the requirements and expectations for African American inventor posters and then students will go back into the groups they were placed in the prior week.Step-by-Step Plan(What exactly do you plan to do in teaching this lesson? Be thorough. Act as if you needed a substitute to carry out the lesson for you.)Where applicable, be sure to address the following:What Higher Order Thinking (H.O.T.) questions will you ask?How will materials be distributed?Who will work together in groups and how will you determine the grouping?How will students transition between activities?What will you as the teacher do?What will the students do?What student data will be collected during each phase?What are other adults in the room doing? How are they supporting students’ learning?What model of co-teaching are you using?Time 8:30-8:408:45-9:159:15-9:309:30-10:00Who is responsible (Teacher or Students)?Students/TeacherTeacherTeacher/StudentsStudentsEach content area may require a different step-by-step format. Use whichever plan is appropriate for the content taught in this lesson. For example, in science, you would detail the 5 Es here (Engage/Encountering the Idea; Exploring the Idea; Explanation/Organizing the Idea; Extend/Applying the Idea; Evaluation).Situate all belongings, Review/Question and answer sessionPlickers assessmentDirections for those who need to complete their poster, Reminder of expectations and requirements, Complete posters in their groupsIndependent readingWhat will you do if……a student struggles with the content?Students who struggle with the content can join a small group setting for a more direct instruction approach. In the small groups, we will discuss all of the questions from the assessment in order to develop an understanding of how the questions are developed and where to find the answer. The teacher leading the small group can then address any misconceptions immediately to avoid future and consistent confusion.What will you do if……a student masters the content quickly?Students who master the content quickly can help other groups of students who may need additional guidance, but do not necessarily need a small group lesson. Meeting your students’ needs as people and as learnersHow will you differentiate instruction for students who need additional challenge during this lesson (enrichment)?Students who need additional challenge can help those struggling students who need certain concepts taught to them. By teaching groups of students, those students who need additional challenge are learning more about the content by having to teach it (a review for them) and are being exposed to different perspectives and thought processes of their peers.How will you differentiate instruction for students who need additional language support?Students who need additional language support can either watch a video on BrainPop or read a MyOn book about similar content.Accommodations (If needed)(What students need specific accommodation? List individual students (initials), and then explain the accommodation(s) you will implement for these unique learners.)S.M., A.M.: Language support, Will work together to review the Myon story they read the prior week.Will provide a SurveyMonkey test for anyone who prefers to not do the Plickers assessment.Materials(What materials will you use? Why did you choose these materials? Include any resources you used. This can also include people!)Journeys BookPlickers cardsComputer for students who prefer other assessment optionPhone/App for Plickers scanningComputer (Myon/Brainpop/Plickers) ................
