Lesson Design

Standards

� Goal.

� Objective (s)

� California State Content Standards and Benchmarks

Anticipatory Set: (Not a sponge activity)

� How are the students going to buy into this? . How is the students' interest level raised?

� How is this lesson connected with the students' prior knowledge?

Input/Modeling

� What type of presentation? Direct lesson? Inquiry? Jigsaw? etc.

� Does the presentation match the content being taught?

� Does the presentation address the needs of all students?

� Is the model clear and unambiguous?

� Does the modeling address the critical attribute(s) of the lesson?

Checking for Understanding:

� Is each student asked to show evidence of understanding?

Methods: teacher asks open ended questions, teacher moves around the room and checks on students, active participation (individual, pairs, groups).

� Does the teacher monitor and adjust to accommodate students who don't

����� understand?

Guided Practice

� Do students have the opportunity to work with material that was modeled?

� Are students working in groups, pairs, individually?

Independent Practice

� Do students have the opportunity to work with material by themselves?

� Does independent practice take place in the classroom, at home or both?

Closure (Full closure might not take place until the unit is completed; open ended questions� related to a daily lesson will bring closure for that lesson)

� How are the components of the lesson all brought together?

� How is the lesson made relevant?

� Is there evidence of how this lesson will be woven into future learning? I
