21st Century Classroom Lesson Plan
Idaho State Department of Education
Developed According to the Charlotte Danielson Framework & Universal Design for
Learning (UDL)
Charlotte Danielson Framework - This lesson plan incorporates all of the components
found in Domain 1: Planning and Preparation of the Danielson Framework for Teaching,:
1a: Demonstrating Knowledge of Content and Pedagogy; 1b: Demonstrating Knowledge
of Students; 1c: Setting Instructional Goals; 1d: Demonstrating Knowledge of Resources;
1e: Designing Coherent Instruction, and; 1f: Assessing Student Learning.
UDL This lesson plan incorporates the primary components of Universal Design for
Learning (UDL) which is an educational approach with three primary principles
including;
1.
Multiple means of representation, to give diverse learners options for acquiring
information and knowledge,
2.
Multiple means of action and expression, to provide learners options for
demonstrating what they know,
3.
Multiple means of engagement, to tap into learners' interests, offer appropriate
challenges, and increase motivation
Lesson plans created by educators for submission into Idahos Learning Management
System (LMS) Schoolnet must include these components. For information on Universal
Design for Learning including a tutorial and model lessons access the Center for Applied
Special Technology (CAST) website at: http://lessonbuilder.cast.org/
Blooms Revised Taxonomy This lesson plan includes Blooms Revised Taxonomy as a
component.
*Note: Not all areas are required for every lesson. * Indicates Optional areas to be
included only if applicable to the specific content/grade level lesson. This lesson plan
template is based upon the CAST UDL Lesson Plan Builder but includes extra fields
specific for submission into Idahos Schoolnet Learning Management System and must
be completely filled in (unless labeled * for optional) to facilitate entry into a searchable

state-wide and national online database. Educators are not limited to the space provided
as the table will expand to fit the entries.
Plan Description: Give an explanation of the Simple Preset Verb tense; its usage in every
day conversations, when it comes to describing events and retelling stories. Then use a
picture as a model in order to form sentences in the given tense. For the exercise, students
will pair up and fill out a handout.
0-2: Introduce the topic.
3-6: Give instructions; explain the steps.
7-10: Give out handouts and pair up students.
10-16: Time to work in pairs.
16-19: Verbal comparison of results and share; volunteers.
19-20: Assessment.
Goals and Objectives: Students will practice and use correctly Simple Present Verb Tense
in declarative and negative sentences.
Learning Outcomes: Students are able to use the Simple Present Verb Tense. Apply it to
everyday activities and life, as well as to involve it in description of events.
Methods and Instructional Strategies: In order to prepare the students for this lesson, I
will review with them the sentence structures, as well as the parts of speech; nouns,
pronouns, verbs, and adjectives. I will also go over a verb chart in which I will use a
picture as a model which will be the image that represents the sentences that the students
will create. Each sentence will have a noun, singular or plural, a verb, and a finisher. By
adding color and familiar images, family pictures, will add interest and help the students
understand and facilitate this activity.
UDL- Differentiation According to Student Needs: For this particular class all of the
students are English learners who are at the same level. I will incorporate however, two
learning styles; visual and auditory. Also, every student will have the chance of
describing their picture in class, which will definitely create repetition of the content.
Assessing Student Learning: Students will be able to practice and use correctly the
Present Verb Tense. By presenting a familiar picture and describing the events in the
Present Tense, students will be assessed in the usage of the tense and the correct
incorporation of the parts of speech.
Standards:
1. Integrate and evaluate information presented in diverse media and formats, including
visually, quantitatively, and orally.
Confirm understanding of a text read aloud or information presented orally or
through other media by asking and answering questions about key details and requesting
clarification if something is not understood.
2. Present information, findings, and supporting evidence such that listeners can follow
the line of reasoning and the organization, development, and style are appropriate to task,
purpose, and audience
Describe familiar people, places, things, and events and, with prompting and
support, provide additional detail.
Material: Verb Tense chart.
