Instructional Model/Strategy
(i.e., concept formation, concept development, direct instruction, cooperative learning, inquiry,
discussion model). Explain how you will best facilitate student learning through a specific
model of instruction. Be sure to include a rationale for the chosen model(s). You may use more
than one:
Discussion model and direct instruction is involved in the lesson. The students are prompted and
guided however they still are expected to move the lesson along through the discussion in their
turn and talks. The direct instruction will work best for the Kahoot quiz, the students are read the
beginning and told to answer the question. This will show their ability to recognize and identify
entertaining beginnings since it has been a practiced topic in the past.
Kahoot
Chromebooks
Writing journals
During the peardeck the student teacher will read aloud the passages to support lower level
readers and anyone who may not be able to see the SMARTboard from their seat so well.
The student teacher and cooperating teacher will also be scribes for the students as they continue
to work on their adventure narratives.
Initiation
Cite how you will engage and motivate learners, activate prior learning and present the lessons
objective.
Explain: A) What they will be doing and learning in the lesson; B) How they will demonstrate
learning;
C) Why it is important to their everyday lives.
Think back to our personal narratives, what entertaining beginning did you use? Remember
our acronym to remind us of our entertaining beginnings SADQT which stood for what?
(students will say it along together S= sound, A=action, D=dialogue, Q=question,
T=thoughts/feelings) Great! Well today, we are going to make sure we have one of these in our
own writing. Before we transition to our own however, I would like to put our expertise to the
test
Lesson Development
Cite how you will provide opportunities for the students to construct meaning. List the
steps/process you will follow. Be sure to identify how you will check for understanding and
collect formative data. Differentiate for students who will require an accommodation or
modification in order to be active participants in this lesson and state these strategies in the
differentiation section above.
Students will begin on the carpet for a refresher about entertaining beginnings. They will
engage in discussions about past entertaining beginnings they have used in their writing.
They will then transition to their desks and open their Chromebooks and get to
peardeck.com
The student teacher will pull up the code for the students to type in on the SMARTboard
The students will type in their pin and get to the Peardeck
Once all of the students have logged in and are ready to play the student teacher will
begin the interactive quiz
There will be beginnings of stories that come up on the smartboard that the student
teacher will read aloud.
The students job is to then pick the correct answer.
If at any point it is clear that a little review is necessary, the student teacher will explain
to the students why the answer is what it is.
Once the quiz has finished, the students will be instructed to work on their story and
double checking their beginnings to make sure that already have or how they can add
SADQT to their beginning.
The student teacher will go around as the students work and check in to see their
progress.
Closure
How will you question students in order to evaluate if the objective(s) was met? How will you
question students to connect this lesson to previous and subsequent lessons as well as connect to
their own lives? How will you question students to see the relevancy of the lesson by
understanding the purpose/importance of the learning?
Thank you boys and girls for continuing to work so hard on your adventure narratives! Take this
time to share with you partner your story so far. As your partner reads to you, pay close
attention to their beginnings. Do they use a SADQT? Which one? Is there one that would hook
the reader/listener even better? Let your partner know what they did well and if there is
something that could make their story even better!
