Lesson Plan Format


Topic/Name of the Lesson: Sequencing/Word recognition
Language Level:  Developing                                                                         
Suggested Grade Levels: 1st
Subject Area:  Reading
English Language Proficiency Standards: 1.6.3B, 1.6D                                

Content Objectives:
Students will be able to:
1. Read the story aloud with the teacher.
2. Read the story aloud themselves while tracking print.
3. Sequence pictures from the text.
4. Retell a story using picture prompts. 
5. Identify sight words.                                                                                    

Language Objective: Students will sequence pictures and retell events from the story using a graphic organizer and picture prompts with a partner.

Materials:                                                                                                         
1. One copy of The Scarecrow, by Peter Sloan and Sheryl Sloan (Level D)
2. Pointer
3. Copy of sight words
4. Sight word cheat sheets
5. Graphic organizer

Describe the Strategy:  ESL students will be given a sequencing graphic organizer to assist in recording events from the story. Students will retell the events from the story using picture prompts from their graphic organizer with the assistance from a partner.

When the strategy should be implemented: The strategies should be implemented after the book has been read aloud with the student and read independently by the student.

Rationale for the strategy: This strategy should be used because ESL students will have difficult time organizing information unless they have guidelines. A graphic organizer structures exactly what is needed for the students to record.

Steps to accomplish the strategy:

Teacher: Michel Hughes
Grade: 1st
Subject: Reading
Topic: Sequencing/Word recognition

Instructional Objective(s):
The student will be able to:                
1. Read the story aloud with the teacher.
2. Read the story aloud themselves while tracking print.
3. Sequence pictures from the text.
4. Retell a story using picture prompts.  
5. Identify sight words.

Materials & Resources Needed:
1. One copy of The Scarecrow, by Peter Sloan and Sheryl Sloan (Level D)
2. Pointer
3. Copy of sight words

Anticipatory Set/Motivation:
Ask student: Have you ever seen a scarecrow? Maybe at a farm or at a pumpkin patch you might have gone to? (Wait for student to respond) Tell student that scarecrows are meant to be placed in fields where crops grow to ‘scare’ the birds away. Tell student that today they are going to read about a scarecrow that scared everyone away from him.
Procedures:
1. Show the cover of the book and tell the title.
2. Explain that the book is written by Peter and Sheryl Sloan. .
3. Tell the student that the purpose for reading the book is to find out what the scarecrow was scaring everyone away from.
5. Read the book aloud expressively and track the print the first time. Make sure the student is following along with you.
6. After you read the book aloud, ask the student the following questions:
- Would you run away from the scarecrow if you saw him in the field?
- Why do you think the cat scared the crow?
- What was your favorite part of the book?
7. Read the book again and invite the student to read along with you.
8. Have the student read sentences themselves by tracking print.
9. Students will next sequence pictures from the text using a graphic organizer.  
10. Ask student to retell the story to you by looking at the pictures (picture prompt) from the graphic organizer. Students can work with a partner for this.
11. Point to sight words and ask the student to identify them. The student will use word recognition to tell you the sight word. (Used to determine whether students memorize sentences or recognize words) – Students can be given a sight word cheat sheet with pictures and words identifying pictures.

Adaptations and accommodations:
For ESL students:
-        Graphic organizer
-        Working with a partner
-        Sight word cheat sheet
Closure:
Ask students, “Did asking you to point to words after we read help you understand the story more?” Tell students that good readers do not simply memorize sentences but they have knowledge of word recognition.
Assessment:
For objective 1: Listen to student read aloud with teacher.
For objective 2: Listen to student read aloud by themselves while they track their print.
For objective 3: Go over student’s graphic organizer with them.
For objective 4: Listen to students retell picture using picture prompts from graphic organizer.  
For objective 5: Listen to student identify sight words.

Topic/Name of the Lesson: Grouping Pennies, Nickels, and Dimes
Language Level:  Beginning
Suggested Grade Levels: 1st
Subject Area: Math
English Language Proficiency Standards: M3.B1, M3. A2

Content Objectives:
Students will be able to:
1. Develop an understanding of math terms penny, nickel and dime.
2. Sort pennies, nickels and dimes.
3. Restate operations to count mixed groups of pennies, nickels and dimes. 

Language Objective: Students will be able to sort pennies, nickels and dimes and restate the operations to sort coins using an adapted worksheet and play money in a small group.

Materials:  Hartcourt Math – Volume 3, pgs 371A-372, play money

Describe the Strategy: ESL students will be given worksheets (pg 371-372) with the key concepts to answer already circled. Do not penalize ESL students for incomplete answers. Only grade the material that they have completed.  Also ESL students will be given ‘hands-on’ manipulatives (play money) to take home prior to teaching this lesson so they are familiar with the mathematical terms e.g. penny, nickel, dime, as well as know the visual representation of each coin before teaching the lesson. Students will work with in a small group to complete this worksheet.

When the strategy should be implemented: The strategies should be used after the ‘Money Song’ video is shown and values of coins have been discussed as a class. Strategies should be used near the very end of this lesson.

Rationale for the strategy: ESL students do not have to complete everything on the worksheet if it isn’t pertaining directly to sorting and retelling steps. Also, students should not be punished for incomplete answers in case they didn’t finish based on time, not whether they knew it or not. If students are given play money prior to teaching this lesson, they will be more familiar with coins and will not have to spend time teaching it specifically to these students. Students can work in a small group in case they have questions, their peers can assist them.

Grade: 1st
Subject: Math
Topic: Grouping Pennies, Nickels, and Dimes

Instructional Objective(s):
Students will be able to:
1.     Develop an understanding of math terms penny, nickel and dime.
2.     Sort pennies, nickels and dimes.
3.     Restate operations to count mixed groups of pennies, nickels and dimes.
              
Materials and resources needed:
Hartcourt Math – Volume 3, pgs 371A-372, play money

Anticipatory Set/Motivation:
Good morning students! Today we will be learning how to group pennies, nickels and dimes. Yesterday we learned the values of these coins and today we will be learning how to group the coins based on value. There are coins on your each of your tables. Working with your table partners, group pennies with pennies, nickels with nickels and dimes with dimes. When finished with this grouping activity, place your math books on your table and sit quietly before we begin!

Procedures:
1.     Show students ‘The Money Song.’ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wq3tVrTFcKk
2.     Discuss with students, as a class, the values of different coins. Tell students who were given play money the previous day to take out their coins and refer to them.
3.     Display different combinations of coins on the eno board. (magnetic coins)
4.     Students will walk to the board with their table partners and sort coins into groups, by value.
5.     Students will be called upon individually to restate operations to count groups of pennies, nickels and dimes. Only students who volunteer will be called upon.
6.     Students will return to their tables and get out their Math Picture Dictionaries.
7.     Individually, students will add to their dictionaries. Students will draw and label pictures of pennies, nickels and dimes and glue/tape these pictures in their math picture dictionaries.
8.     Students will take out their math workbooks and complete page 371. Students will only complete parts of their worksheets that are assigned to them and they can work in a small group if they choose to do so.

Accommodations:
For ESL students-
1.If identical worksheets (pg 371) are given to ESL students and traditional students, circle the key concepts to answer. Do not penalize ESL students for incomplete answers. Only grade the material that they have completed.
2. Give ESL students ‘hands-on’ manipulatives (play money) to take home prior to teaching this lesson so they are familiar with the mathematical terms e.g. penny, nickel, dime, as well as know the visual representation of each coin before teaching the lesson.
3. Students can work in a small group if they choose to.

Closure:
“Today in class, we reviewed grouping coins. Take five minutes and create a list of examples or places where you have seen coins used. Do you believe that it is important to be able to group coins correctly as well as understand the values of each coin?” Wait for the students to respond as a class and thank them for their participation in the lesson.

Assessment:
1.     Evaluate student’s math picture dictionaries and note whether they have correctly labeled the coins.
2.     Observe students grouping pennies, nickels and dimes while working at the eno board with groups and note whether they have correctly grouped coins.
3.     Listen to students orally explain how to sort coins.
