Student Name: Alessia Canosa Date: May 23, 2017 Age Group: 6 7
years old
Grade: Grade 1
Unit/Subject: Living Things - Science
Materials: (List the materials needed for this lesson)
- White Board
- White Board Marker
- Paper
- Markers
- Pencils
Objectives: (What the students should/learn/accomplish/master/understand
as a result of the lesson)
The students will continue to learn about living things, and the five
basic needs of living things. Students will be encouraged to show and
activate prior knowledge to complete the following activity.
Anticipatory Set: (In what way will you activate their prior knowledge and
experience to help them relate to todays lesson?)
- I will ask the students if anyone knows what five basic things are
needed for a living thing to survive
Teaching: (Step by step discussion for how the lesson will be taught)
Instructional Input:
What knowledge will you communicate to the students so that they
understand the objective of the lesson (film, tape, video, pictures, etc.)
I will tell the children what the five basic needs of living things are, as well as
explain what the they are and how they are needed differently for different
living things.
Guided Practise:
What activities will the students perform under your supervision to ensure
that they are able to practise the material/concepts taught in the lesson?
How will you support students when errors are made?
As a group the students will help me explain why different living things need
certain living things to survive.
Modeling:
How will you demonstrate the skill or competence so the student will also be
able to do it? (Use of materials to show students examples of what is
expected as a final product of their work)
I will model the expectation of the activity by doing an example on the
board.
Checking for Understanding:
How will you check that the students have understood/learned the
objectives?
I will ask the students questions related to the living things I used as an
example, what are the basic things it needs to survive.
Questioning Strategies:
What types of questions might you ask to probe higher level thinking?
I will ask students what the five basic needs of a living thing are once more.
Closure:
Develop a statement that brings the lesson to an appropriate conclusion. A
statement of closure is the act of reviewing and clarifying the key points of a
lesson. It is used to:
1. Cue students to the fact that they are at the end of the lesson
2. Help organize student learning
3. Help students form a clearer picture of what the lesson is all about
- I will close the lesson by having children repeat the five basic needs of
a living thing
Independent Practice:
List homework or seatwork assignments the students will be expected to
complete in order to practice the material/skill without teacher
supervision
- The children will be given a piece of paper with and they will be
required to pick a living thing and draw it on the paper. The students
will also be required to draw to of their living things basic needs
(example; shelter and food).
Reflection:
- What went well? Provide examples for how you know it went well.
- What didnt go well? Provide examples for how you know it didnt go
well
- What did you learn?
- What might you do differently next time you implement this same
experience and why?
- Did you have to make any adaptations or modifications? If so, what
were they?
- What type of experience might you plan to extend on this one?
