Lesson Plan Designing!
This document is about Lesson Plan Designing! Please make sure that you have downloaded our LANG 3410 Lesson Plan template, which I have uploaded to our course’s site on the Blackboard Learning System, also here under “Course Material.” (i have attached it in materials)
Several parts are self-explanatory, such as Teacher Candidate Name (that’s you!), and if you are not currently in an observation, practicum, student teaching setting, go ahead and pick a school, grade, and date.
Pick a Topic for your lesson plan, as well as its accompanying Concept, and from there, you will design the Essential Question.
For Standard/s, please refer to the NJ department of education website at:
https://www.nj.gov/education/cccs/
then click on the left side margin, New Jersey Student Learning Standards.
Do keep it simple; they are currently revising all standards, so just do your best to find something to write in this box for now.
The Content Objectives and the Language Objectives are VERY important. You will have a Low, Mid, and High level for each area.
For example, if this were a High School Science lesson, the content objectives would be geared around the actual subject of the lesson that you are teaching, and a High objective would be what the “best” student of science will learn, and a Low objective would be the bare minimum that you expect a student to learn.
If this were a High School Science lesson, the language objectives will be similarly ranked from High to Low, but these will be language specific, such as for High, the student will learn 9 – 12 new words, whereas the Low would learn 1 – 4 new words, or something similar, in terms of language objectives.
You must also include two (2) Social/Affective objectives, which we studied about in our textbook.
For the Assessment section, you must design the “tool” (such as a composition, project, quiz, or test) and include the rubric.
The Planning section is self-explanatory, and please do fill it out carefully, thinking about different details.
Under the Teaching and Learning section, there are several parts:
Engage is your motivational opening of the lesson.
Explore is your actual “teaching” section. Be extremely detailed here. Additionally, you must have at least 2 each of Low, Mid, and High level questions, which are usually guided by your above objectives section.
Explain is actually the practice section.
Extend is the more involved project or task section.
Evaluate is where you will assess your students’ learning. go ahead and pretend that you actually taught this lesson and that you used your rubric to assess their learning. You will see that on the bottom of page 1, there is a section to be completed “after” implementation; here you will write what you learned from the assessment results.
