Lesson+Plan+Format


 * EDU 363**
 * Lesson plan format – for Unit Plan**

Use the following categories to guide you as you write up your three lesson plans. To create this format, I have drawn from the UMF lesson plan format that you will be expected to use while student teaching. However, I have not included all categories, and have changed the order a bit, in a way that seems more logical to me. You should feel free to re-arrange it to best suit the way your “instructional planning mind” works. Choose a time frame between 60 and 80 minutes for your lesson plan length. The categories, in bold, are, as I noted, the UMF named categories. After that, in italics, are my comments and questions, intended to help you think about the lesson and what to pay attention to. Lesson Plan Format //What will students learn, know, or be able to do, as a result of this lesson? // //Draw from the objectives you have already set. Or, create new objectives, based on the projects and assignments you are focusing on and consideration of the skills/processes students will need to be able to do in order to complete those projects and assignments. //
 * Objectives**

//Describe in detail what will happen during the lesson. The different things you will do, the things students will do; the strategies and activities you will use. //
 * Teaching and Learning Sequence**

//Write a paragraph or two in which you discuss what strategies, modifications and accommodations, or extensions you might use to help kids who need extra support or extra challenge. //
 * Differentiated Instruction**

//What formative assessments will you use to know how/if kids are learning what you want them to learn? // //Are there summative assessments directly involved in this lesson, or, does this lesson in one way or another connect to a summative assessment? //
 * Assessment**
