3. How do I create anAcquisition Lesson Plan?

4. How do I create anAcquisition Lesson Plan? Step 1. EQ: Write the essential question. Develop assessment prompts by asking: “What must students learn in order to answer the essential question?”

5. How Do I Create anAcquisition Lesson Plan? How do I create an acquisition lesson plan? What is the acquisition level of learning? What is an acquisition lesson?

6. How Do I Create anAcquisition Lesson Plan? STEP 2: Choose and complete the graphic organizer for the lesson. Think: How do I want my students to think about the content of the lesson?

7. About Graphic Organizers • They chunk information. • They improve memory. • They help students to understand and manage learning, build connections and explore relationships.

8. How do I want students to think about the content of the lesson? • Sequence/Time Order • List or Describe • Comparison/Contrast • Cause/Effect • Problem/Solution Decide, then choose and complete an appropriate graphic organizer.

9. How will the students use the graphic organizer that I choose? • Structured note-taking • Guided reading • Study and summarizing tool • Visual model of a skill or performance • Presentation The possibilities are endless! Graphic organizers affect achievement when students actually use them.

10. How Do I Create anAcquisition Lesson Plan? Levels of Learning foldable and Acquisition Lesson Planning foldable. Students will be able to use these graphic organizers to complete the assignment!

11. How Do I Create anAcquisition Lesson Plan? STEP 3: Use the first 2 steps to organize the teaching strategies of the lesson. See next slide for an example of how each component fits in the lesson.

12. How do I create an acquisition lesson plan? The acquisition level of learning What is an acquisition lesson? Look at AP#1. What will serve as evidence of learning? AP #2: Evidence? How will you enable students to elicit that evidence? Teaching Strategy? Levels of Learning foldable and Acquisition Lesson Planning foldable, Acquisition Lesson Planning template. Mini-lecture on 3 levels of learning and their purpose. Collaborative pairs will summarize and complete the Levels of Learning foldable. Teacher will lead discussion and present examples of the components of the acquisition lesson. Structured note-taking using the Acquisition Lesson Planning foldable. Then pairs will collaborate and supply examples of each component using the planning template.

13. How Do I Create anAcquisition Lesson Plan? STEP 4: Plan the assignment. What are students going to do to demonstrate their understanding?

14. How Do I Create anAcquisition Lesson Plan? REMEMBER: • The teaching strategies should set up the assignment through modeling, distributed practice and distributed summarizing. • The assignment is the application/use of the information learned in the lesson.

15. How Do I Create anAcquisition Lesson Plan? Create an acquisition lesson using the LFS template and appropriate models of each component.

16. How Do I Create anAcquisition Lesson Plan? STEP 5: Develop the activating strategy. How will you engage the student and link to their prior knowledge? Note: We develop the activating strategy AFTER we plan the lesson. With no lesson, how do we know what we are activating? It would be like dressing for an occasion without knowing the occasion!

17. Developing the activating strategy. STEP 1: Start with LEQ: Do students already know something about the topic? YES NO STEP 2: Link to prior knowledge using specific activating strategies. STEP 2: Build background knowledge using specific activating strategies. STEP 3: Select key vocabulary to preview by thinking about a word or words important to learning the concept or skill, words with multiple meanings or useful words. STEP 4: Choose a research-based strategy to preview vocabulary words such as word maps, multi-sensory experiences, or anticipation guides.

Show video clips, classroom samples, etc. of LFS /Frayer model Essential question, assessment prompt, activating, summarizing Levels of Learning foldable and Acquisition Lesson Planning foldable, Acquisition Lesson Planning template. Mini-lecture on 3 levels of learning and their purpose. Collaborative pairs will summarize and complete the Levels of Learning foldable. Teacher will discuss and present examples of the components of the acquisition lesson. Structured note-taking using the Acquisition Lesson Planning foldable. Then pairs will collaborate and supply examples of each component using the planning template.

19. How Do I Create anAcquisition Lesson Plan? STEP 6: Plan the summarizing strategy. How will students synthesize what they have learned? How will you determine how well students know what you taught?

20. How Do I Create anAcquisition Lesson Plan? Notes About Summarizing • ALL students summarize. • Students summarize throughout the lesson, not just the end. • Students should summarize AND answer the essential question.

21. How Do I Create anAcquisition Lesson Plan? Choosing a Summarizing Strategy • Determine a prompt that will require the student to answer the EQ (oral, nonverbal, written, higher thinking, etc.). • Think about the format (Ticket Out, visual symbol, graphic organizer, journal entry, song, etc.). • Choose the summarizing strategy.
