Description of Lesson
(including
instructional
strategies):
Anticipatory Set:
Cooperative groups
Reinforcing effort and Providing recognition
Graphic organizer
Direct instruction
CONTEXT
Students will be assigned cooperative groups and given pictures of various daily activities. The
students will need to separate pictures based on when the activity occurs (daytime or nighttime).
They will place the items on a graphic organizer and share it with the class. If the members do not
agree with where a picture should be placed then they will put it in between and discuss why it is
there. (Example: Mary eats dinner early and she says it during the day and Mark eats dinner at night
after the sun goes down).
COMPOSITION
o
Direct instruction Pair up students and then show the digital clock. Ask them to explain
what they think it is and its function to each other. Facilitate discussion based on responses
(My mom has one like that on her arm! Okay, what does she use it for?, etc.) Then we
will share as a class.
DECOMPOSITION
o
Provide a digital clock to each pair and ask them to examine it and generate questions
about what they want to know. Answer questions then after start breaking down the parts of
a clock and explain the various parts (hour/minutes) and what each part means.
RELATIONSHIPS
o
Identify certain times to work on for the AM and the PM. 8:00AM you must be at school,
9:30AM its time for recess and 2:00PM it is time to go home and 8:00PM it is time to go to
sleep. Facilitate responses If the clock says 9:00AM what does that mean for school?, etc.
When one wakes up would it take hours or minutes?, when you eat for recess should it take
hours or minutes?,
REPRESENTATION
o
Formative section Review the parts of the clock and ask what each symbol/section
represents (ex: 3:30, what does the 3 represent, what does 30 represent?, etc.)
CONTEXT
o
Provide the student with a personalized graphic organizer (based on parent questionnaire),
time cards and their personalized pictures and have them categorize them in the correct
time slots.
