Lesson Procedures
Opening
2
¿Cuántos hermanos tienes? will be written on the board in the start of class. Ï will begin telling students they think to
themselves of a number answer for this question.I will then ask the student to raise their hand when the description
pertains to them. This will let the students take a quick look around to see how many siblings their classmates
have.pertains to them. I will ask,
¿Quien no tiene hermanos?
¿Quien tiene un hermano?
¿Quien tiene dos hermanos?
¿Quien tiene tres hermanos?
¿Quien tiene cuatro o más hermanos?
After they have all raised their hands, I will the tell them they are going to find out more information about other
people's family by asking them questions.
1. Students will be assigned a both a group and a number. There are 2 groups with 8 members per group, each
having a corresponding number 1-8.
2. The students will all be given a double sided sheet to record their information.
3. Students will start by forming an inner and an outer circle with the members of their group, and will match up
with the person they share the same number with.
4. They will have their papers with them. The students start by writing the persons name down and their number.
5. They will take turns asking each other 1 question for a total of 2 questions.
6. They will record the answers in the appropriate question column.
7. Once I see the groups have gotten through the four questions, the outer circle will take a step to right and
repeat with the next partner.
8. The students will continue to ask and write down the information from their partner until they are back with
their first partner.
Closing
As a closing, they are to go back with their first partner, they will then talk one-o-one with their partner the
information of the other students that they didn't get to talk to. (This will be the students that were in the same line as
them). They will have to say a complete sentence out loud rather than asking questions. This could take a while and
need to be continued into the next class.
Indicate the grade level/s of students for which the lesson is designed. Indicate the content area/s that are focused on within the lesson.
Indicate the amount of time it will take to complete the lesson. Consider the appropriateness of the time frame: have you appropriately
planned enough time to fully cover all components of the lesson, including a possible student practice component?
Central Focus
The central focus is an understanding that you want your students to develop in the learning segment. It is a description of the
important identifiable theme, essential question, or topic within the curriculum that is the purpose of the instruction of the learning
segment. Examples of central focus might include retelling, persuasive writing or summarizing text; for math, equivalent fractions or
equivalencies. Clearly detail the central focus of the lesson.

Standards
Identify the appropriate standards that align with your lesson. When writing a lesson plan, it is important to limit the number of
standards you attempt to meet in a single lesson. You cannot meet several standards in a limited amount of class time. Be sure your
standards reflect the main topic of the lesson. Include the complete text for each and not simply the numbers and letters. Use the
links below for an easy “cut and paste” of the standards into your lesson plan.

Rationale/Purpose/Context
Provide a rationale or purpose of the lesson explaining why it is important for students to learn what is planned in the lesson. Some
things to consider: How is this lesson is related to ongoing curriculum? Where does this lesson fit within a sequence of lessons? What
are the personal, cultural, and community assets of this group of children and their prerequisite skills? How might this lesson relate to
students’ language and literacy development? Is there a home school connection that could be supported with this lesson?
Objective(s)/Learning Outcome(s)
The objective/learning outcome (also called an instructional objective or behavioral objective) should include the content to be
learned and an action verb describing how the students will demonstrate they have learned the content (this must be a measurable
action). Avoid language that is not measurable – such as know, learn, recognize, understand – and avoid activities – read a book, do a
worksheet, practice multiplication. The objective(s)/learning outcome(s) should be closely linked to the standard you have chosen for
this lesson.
Examples include …
Students will be able to locate the capitals of the states in the Midwest Region.
Students will be able to compare decimals from smallest to largest when given a list of decimals.
4
Students will be able to represent the steps to solve two-step word problems.
Academic Language
Academic language is the “language of the discipline” used to engage students in learning and includes the means by which students
develop and express content understandings. It includes the oral and written language and visual representations used for academic
purposes. Plan and describe instructional supports that will help students understand and use the language you have identified related
to vocabulary and language function.
Vocabulary
Language demands include the oral, visual, and written language that students need to understand and use in order to
complete learning tasks successfully within your lesson. Think about the vocabulary (subject-specific words, symbols, and
general academic words) that will need to be addressed. Think about the discourse structures (e.g., visual representations,
essays, lab reports, or other texts) that students need to understand, read, use, or produce. Think about the syntax that students
need to understand or use (e.g., rules for structuring and writing sentences, mathematical formulas, or composing musical
rhythms).
Language Function
Identify the major language function all students need to develop in order to learn the content within your lesson. Choose a
task within your lesson where students have an opportunity to practice your identified language function. Consider a learning
task where students will practice using language in one or more ways: speaking, listening, reading, writing, and/or
performing.
Describe how you will determine if all students met the lesson objective and learned what you intended them to learn. Make sure there
are direct connections between the objectives and the assessments. Describe specific formative and/or summative assessments applied
and include the assessment tools with the plan. If you are using observation and/or participation as assessments, devise a way to keep
track of the students’ performance on this assessment. Consider how you will track or grade the assessment using evaluation criteria
(points, rubric, met/not met, etc.) for feedback purposes.
Instructional Materials
List all of the materials that you used to plan and teach this lesson. This includes texts, worksheets, handouts, supplemental materials,
etc. Include copies of any documents given to students. If you use texts or literature, include an image of the cover of the books if
possible. If you are using an electronic whiteboard, include copies of what will be displayed. Use resources that are designed to
engage students in the lesson.
Technology
Include web sites, and assessment tools you used to plan and teach this lesson. Use resources that are designed to engage students in
the lesson.
Differentiation, Planned Supports: Modification and Accommodations (i.e., special needs, language needs, enrichment, etc.)
When you are planning for instruction, consider the differences in students who are in the classroom and how you can support every
student’s learning within the lesson. Plan and describe how you will ensure that all students will be able to participate successfully in
the learning activities through a differentiated approach to teaching and learning. Make sure to consider advanced students as well as
struggling students. Consider culture, sexual orientation, language, family structure, gender, religion, ethnicity, ableism (gifted and
special needs) and other relevant areas.
Lesson Procedures (Include time the frame for each part of the lesson)
Opening:
How will you begin the lesson? What is the first thing you will say or do? Begin with a hook or a bridge.
5
Hook – How will you build student interest in the lesson? How will you get students actively interested in the lesson you will
be teaching in an efficient manner?
Bridge – A bridge is a reminder from earlier lessons that will help students understand the current lesson. Is there prior
instruction that you need to review that will be helpful to students in this new lesson?
Instructional Procedures
Format: Develop a numbered or bulleted, step-by-step list of how you plan to proceed through the lesson. What will you say? What
will you do? What will the students do? What questions will you ask? What responses do you expect? List the activities the students
do. List any examples you need to plan in advance of teaching.
Engagement: Your goal is to have students be actively engaged in the lesson. Consider developmental age/stage and needs of students,
use of appropriate questioning strategies to maintain engagement.
Connections: Your teaching should include encouraging students to make connections to themselves and others. If you plan to assign
homework, enrichment or extension of the lesson, include it in this section of the plan. Develop your step-by-step list complete enough
so that another person would have all the information needed to teach this same lesson. If applicable, include the following
components: Modeling, Guided practice, Independent practice.
Application – Include in your instructional procedures teaching and learning that encourages students to apply what they have learned
to real world issues and problems.
Closing
The closing of the lesson should be directly connected to the objective/learning outcome(s) stated at the start of the plan. Describe how
you plan to end the lesson. Think about how students or you will briefly summarize the key ideas from the lesson.
