Lesson Planning for Secondary Students Spring 2014
CHECK LIST FOR EACH LESSON ASSIGNMENT Each lesson should have the following: •At a Glance Lesson template – A planning tool that summarizes your key components of your planned lesson. •Developing a Lesson According to the POS (THOUGHT JOT)– A planning tool that directly connects the POS to the lesson you are developing. •FCPS Lesson Plan template – Complete the FCPS standard lesson plan template. •PowerPoint Presentation- Your PowerPoint should include a clear statement of the art challenge, an agenda or “outline” of the activities students will engage in during the class period, simple criteria for students to “self check” their work, exemplars showing other artists’ solutions to the challenge. Your PowerPoint may also include questions to guide class discussion. •Script – A written narrative of the lesson presentation. •Handout-A written explanation of the lesson that includes challenge, procedure, and rubric. •Prototype- Create a high quality prototype that solves the challenge. An image of this prototype should be inserted on the At a Glance Lesson template.
Please make 11 copies for students of the following: •Lesson Plan •Handout •At a Glance Please make 1 copy of the following for me: •Lesson Plan •Handout •At a Glance •Script •Developing a Lesson According to the POS Please upload to Blackboard: •Lesson Plan •Handout with rubric •PowerPoint
Developing a Lesson According to the POS (THOUGHT JOT)– A planning tool that directly connects the POS to the lesson you are developing.
POWERPOINT GUIDELINES • WHAT MAKES A “GOOD” POWERPOINT? • A PowerPoint can be a useful tool for organizing, storing, and sharing the components of your lesson with students. • Your presentation (PowerPoint, Keynote, Prezi, etc.) should include a clear statement of the challenge, and overview of the sequence of steps students will go through to solve the challenge, examples of other artists’ solutions to the challenge, simple questions or statements to guide discussion and clear and age-appropriate criteria for students to use to “self-check” their work. • A good PowerPoint is designed to contain and organize these components of the lesson.
Is your PowerPoint…. • Thoughtfully designed and free of visual “clutter” • Clearly states the art challenge • Includes and cites relevant connections to art history or exemplars from artists who solved the challenge • May include questions to guide in-class discussion • Uses age appropriate language and key art vocabulary (most students at the grade level should be able to read the text on your slides independently) • Includes an agenda outlining what students will be doing during the class period and the sequence of steps they should follow • Includes simply stated criteria for the assignment that students can use to independently “self-check”
Check your PowerPoint and make changes if you… • Included too many images, or does not include meaningful examples of artists solving the art challenge • Created a presentation that is not clearly organization • Included too much text, or text that is at a higher reading level than the intended audience • Did not clearly state the art challenge, sequence of steps to complete the challenge, and/or criteria for the assignment • Above all, a PowerPoint is a resource for storing and sharing the essential components of your lesson with students, not a “text” to read from.
Handout-A written explanation of the lesson that includes challenge, procedure, and rubric. • Student Handout Guidelines • Why create a student handout? • Students have access to the directions and expectations • A handout helps different learners understand directions and • expectations • Saves you the trouble of explaining what to do each time • If the teacher is absent, the student still has the information • Handout is posted on BB for students who want to work at home • What is included in a student handout? • The challenge is clearly explained • The expectations are clearly explained • The procedure is clearly explained • Rubric/self-evaluation is attached • Images: prototype, related artworks, etc.
Script – A written narrative of the lesson presentation. In student teaching you will be expected to provide a complete script for the entire class. • Prototype-Create a high quality prototype that solves the challenge. An image of this prototype should be inserted on the At a Glance Lesson template. Also bring your prototype to class.
Rubrics – “…scoring rubric means "a standard of performance for a defined population.” Students should know how they are going to be assessed up front. The rubric defines your expectations for the challenge presented. The rubric can be attached to the student handout. Let’s discuss Common Assessments.
