General Lesson Design Body of Lesson Varies across subjects and grades May include instruction on: • Skills and strategies (How to do something) • Vocabulary and concepts (What something is) • Rules (If ______ then ______ ) • Facts
Body - Skill or StrategyHow to do something • Sound out word • Determine meaning of word using context clues • Determine meaning of word using root and affixes • Determine cause and effect • Make Inferences • Take notes on information text • Write a summary of content • Write an opinion piece • Solve an equation • Write up a science experiment
Body - Skill or StrategyHow to do something What are some of the skills or strategies that you teach?
Body - Skill or Strategy • The Three Components • Model I do it • Prompt We do it • Check You do it
Body - Skill or Strategy Simple skill or strategy • Model I do it Teacher performs Students watch • Prompt We do it Teacher performs Students perform • Check You do it Teacher watches Students perform
Body - Skill or Strategy What are some of the more complex skills or strategies that you teach?
Body - Skill or Strategy I do it More complex skills and strategies Model (I do it) • Show (Demonstrating) • Proceed step-by-step • Exaggerate the steps • Tell (Describing) • Tell students what you are doing • Tell students what you are thinking • Gain Responses • Ask for responses • What they already know • What you have told them
Body - Skill or StrategyI do it More complex skills and strategies • The 3 C’s • The model should be: • Clear • Consistent • Concise
Body - Skill or StrategyI do it More complex skills and strategies Before modeling a. Ask yourself, what are common errors that students might make. b. Precorrect those errors as you model.
Body - Skill or StrategyWe do it More complex skills and strategies • Purposes of guided practice • Promote high level of success • Build confidence Types of prompts • Prompt physically • Prompt visually • Prompt verbally Step - do - Step - do - Step - do - Step - do Three C’s = clear, consistent, concise
Body - Skill or StrategyWe do it More complex skills and strategies Levels of Prompts Tell them what to do Ask them what to do Remind them what to do Gradually fade prompts.
Body - Skill or StrategyYou do it • Check for understanding. • Unprompted practice. • Verify students’ understanding before independent work is given • Carefully monitor students’ responses • Continue until students are consistently accurate
