Instructional Plan Title:
 
The Garden
Lesson Summary and Focus:
In 2-3 sentences, summarize the lesson, identifying the central focus based on the content and skills you are teaching. 
The students will focus on gardens and describe the types of things that grow in a garden.  The students will identify key elements of the story.
Classroom and Student Factors/Grouping:
Describe the important classroom factors (demographics and environment) and student factors (IEPs, 504s, ELLs, students with behavior concerns, gifted learners), and the effect of those factors on planning, teaching, and assessing students to facilitate learning for all students. This should be limited to 2-3 sentences and the information should inform the differentiation components of the lesson.
This diversified classroom consists of 15 children of color: 60% African American and 40% Latinx.  The majority of the students (65%) are girls.  Three students reside in homes where English is not their innate language. The children reside in low-economic neighborhoods wherein 50% reside in single parent homes, 30% reside in multi-generational homes, and 20% reside in homes with both parents.  Two students have an IEP: one classified with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, the other classified with PI (mild perceptual impairment).
National/State Learning Standards:
Review national and state standards to become familiar with the standards you will be working with in the classroom environment. 
Your goal in this section is to identify the standards that are the focus of the lesson being presented. Standards must address learning initiatives from one or more content areas, as well as align with the lesson’s learning targets/objectives and assessments.
Include the standards with the performance indicators and the standard language in its entirety.

Specific Learning Target(s)/Objectives:
Learning objectives are designed to identify what the teacher intends to measure in learning. These must be aligned with the standards. When creating objectives, a learner must consider the following: 

  • Who is the audience

K-2 students

  • What action verb will be measured during instruction/assessment

Read, listen and comprehend

  • What tools or conditions are being used to meet the learning

Books, Ipads, e-readers
What is being assessed in the lesson must align directly to the objective created. This should not be a summary of the lesson, but a measurable statement demonstrating what the student will be assessed on at the completion of the lesson. For instance, “understand” is not measureable, but “describe” and “identify” are.

  • Students will be able to identify the main theme and characters.

It is easier for early readers to learn to cite evidence, demonstrate the flow of a story and answer the five w’s using colorful picture books (Lambert).

Section 2: Instructional Planning

Anticipatory Set

Your goal in this section is to open the lesson by activating students’ prior knowledge, linking previous learning with what they will be learning in this lesson and gaining student interest for the lesson. Consider various learning preferences (movement, music, visuals) as a tool to engage interest and motivate learners for the lesson.
In a bulleted list, describe the materials and activities you will use to open the lesson. Bold any materials you will need to prepare for the lesson.
 

  • I will prompt the students by asking them to tell me one item that can be found in a garden.  

 

Time Needed

 

10 min.

Multiple Means of Representation

Learners perceive and comprehend information differently. Your goal in this section is to explain how you would present content in various ways to meet the needs of different learners. For example, you may present the material using guided notes, graphic organizers, video or other visual media, annotation tools, anchor charts, hands-on manipulatives, adaptive technologies, etc. 
In a bulleted list, describe the materials you will use to differentiate instruction and how you will use these materials throughout the lesson to support learning. Bold any materials you will need to prepare for the lesson.
 

  • I will use a Graphic Organizer to teach children how to develop a deeper understanding of the text.

Explain how you will differentiate materials for each of the following groups: 

  • English language learners (ELL):  I will ask students to do a drawing, create a poster and/or conduct oral interviews to demonstrate their understanding of the story. 
  • Students with special needs: I will model a think-aloud strategy and use a story frame to help students visualize the story. 
  • Students with gifted abilities: I will model the Socratic method to introduce an in-depth analysis on story structure and content impact.   The student will then buddy with a peer to discuss the story using the Socratic method.  Ex.  Why plant vegetables?

By using the Socratic method, students will be able to focus for an in-depth analysis using the book (Lola’s Garden) to stimulate conversations and to generate content-related questions requiring substantive responses (Canen).

Canen, C. (n/d/). How to use the Socratic method with elementary students.

  • Early finishers (those students who finish early and may need additional resources/support):  Additional support will be provided by either teacher, teacher’s assistant using an e-reader.

Time Needed

 

 

20 min.

Multiple Means of Engagement

Your goal for this section is to outline how you will engage students in interacting with the content and academic language. How will students explore, practice, and apply the content? For example, you may engage students through collaborative group work, Kagan cooperative learning structures, hands-on activities, structured discussions, reading and writing activities, experiments, problem solving, etc.
In a bulleted list, describe the activities you will engage students in to allow them to explore, practice, and apply the content and academic language. Bold any activities you will use in the lesson. Also, include formative questioning strategies and higher order thinking questions you might pose. 
 
Each child will plant a garden in the Science Center using egg cartons and seeds. The children will have daily observation and care assignments and note all seedling growth in their journals.
                                          
Explain how you will differentiate activities for each of the following groups: 

  • English language learners (ELL):  I will use Lola Plants a Gardene-reader to support vocabulary to increase comprehension.
  • Students with special needs:  The students will use their iPads to support their  vocabulary and comprehension skills.
  • Students with gifted abilities:   I will have the students work in clusters and challenge them to write a storyabout gardens and the benefits of flowers, plants and foods grown in a garden.
  • Early finishers (those students who finish early and may need additional resources/support):I will use visual cues to simulate the lesson to support these students.

Time Needed

 

 

20-25 min.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Multiple Means of Expression

Learners differ in the ways they navigate a learning environment and express what they know. Your goal in this section is to explain the various ways in which your students will demonstrate what they have learned. Explain how you will provide alternative means for response, selection, and composition to accommodate all learners. Will you tier any of these products? Will you offer students choicesto demonstrate mastery? This section is essentially differentiated assessment.
In a bulleted list, explain the options you willprovide for your students to express their knowledge about the topic. For example, students may demonstrate their knowledge in more summative ways through a short answer or multiple-choice test, multimedia presentation, video, speech to text, website, written sentence, paragraph, essay, poster, portfolio, hands-on project, experiment, reflection, blog post, or skit. Bold the names of any summative assessments. 
Students may also demonstrate their knowledge in ways that are more formative. For example, students may take part in thumbs up-thumbs middle-thumbs down, a short essay or drawing, an entrance slip or exit ticket, mini-whiteboard answers, fist to five, electronic quiz games, running records, four corners, or hand raising.Underlinethe names of any formative assessments.
Students will create a booklet reflecting ways gardens are used to protect the earth. 

 

Explain how you will differentiate assessments for each of the following groups: 

  • English language learners (ELL):Students willeither write, draw or use a posterboard to demonstrate their knowledge of the story.

Students with special needs:  Students will use story map to retell the story.

Story maps help students of different abilities organize information effectively (the five w’s) and identify elements of a story (reading rockets).
