  1. Unit & Lesson Plans An overall Concept taught in 1-3 weeks

  2. Textbook • No, we do not teach to the textbook, • HOWEVER, textbook = organization

  3. Forsomesubjects, you can move around the textbook (Science, Health) • For other subjects, it can be beneficial to use the order of the material presented in the textbook • (Math, Social Studies) • In English, often you will move all over the textbook based on your design of your unit.

  4. Intercurricular teaching • Some subjects may cohort…work together • English/Social Studies = Paul Revere’s Ride during the study of the Revolutionary War.

  5. My Expectation for your unit plan • 1. Title of Unit • 2. Dates to be taught (2 – 3 weeks) • You will be writing 10 lesson plans w/in this unit. • 3. General subunits (Oceanography = The Seafloor, Life in the Ocean, Ocean Pollution • 4. Standards to be met in this unit (You will copy these into your lesson plans) • 5. Any special supplies or unique needs for this unit • Consider students with special needs. • Be sure to include a variety of activities (audio, visual,kinesthetic) to encourage student learning.

  6. Lesson Plan • You will use lesson plan from Cunningham. The back of the book has an excellent description:

  7. Introduction ….Tickler! • Get them excited about what is going to happen today. • Quick…fun or though provoking

  8. Foundation • Check on previous knowledge. Verify what students already know. • Clarify key points. Double-check on learning from the past.

  9. Brain activation • Brainstorm main ideas. • Fill students' heads with ideas, concepts, possibilities

  10. Body of New Information • Can do this through short lecture, powerpoint, create foldables…. • Need to keep the students interested…

  11. Clarification • Quick check for understanding…. • Ask a few questions….for those that can’t answer, let them choose a lifeline

  12. Practice and Review • Do the first few questions together….. • Have questions on PPT…let them respond individually to parts of it • Provide “helps” – cheat sheet

  13. EG: Order of operations • P – Parenthesis • E – Exponents • M – Multiplication/Division • A – Addition/Subtraction • 3[ 83 + (16-1) * (2*5)] • 14 * 25

  14. Independent Practice • SUPERVISE THIS!!!! Do not…do not…go and sit at your desk! • OBSERVE…this is a way to assess knowledge.

  15. Closure • This is hard to do…may run out of time. • Have students show work to use as they leave. • Have students complete a slip of paper telling you what they learned today. • Keep it small and quick… • REMIND THEM TO HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!!!!! • And then move into the hallway to monitor behavior…

  16. Let’s get started on our plans….. • Set up Wiki • Get a textbook of your choice • Begin Unit Plan • Begin Lesson Plans
