Flipped Lesson Planning Guide

STEP 1: What is your lesson objective?

Remember, this is a specific skill or concept that you want to teach your students via
video before class.

Students will be able to cite text evidence to support a claim.

STEP 2: How are you going to create the lesson?

Do you intend to video yourself talking, use a tablet app to explain the concept, curate
the content, or use a simple voiceover with visuals?

I will curate an educational videoexplaining the idea of citing text evidence to support a
claim. https://learnzillion.com/lessons/669
At the conclusion of the video, the student will complete a Google form proving they watched
a video, and providing an assessment of their understanding of the lesson.

STEP 3: What in-class activities are you planning to engage the

students in higher level thinking activities?
What are the activities that will engage the students in higher level thinking such as
applying, analyzing, evaluating, and creating?

Activity Description
1. In class, students will analyze a new text
(Walking On the Boundaries of Change by
Sara Holbrook.) I will ask each student to
write a sentence claiming what the main
idea of the poem is, and supporting that
claim with evidence from the text. This
activity will be supported with modeling and

sentence frames. I will be available to do

remedial work with individual students who
showed a lacking understanding of the
flipped lesson (as seen through their googleform responses).
2. As students finish, I will form small groups
and have students share their work,
comparing their text evidence with one
another. Together, they will create a new
claim about the main idea of the poem, this
time with 3 or more pieces of text evidence.

3. Next, students will move onto And Still I

Rise by Maya Angelou for individual
practice. Students will do a close reading of
the poem and then view the video of Dr.
Angelou reading her poem aloud (allowing
for multiple means of representation of the
text for different learners.) Then, students
will demonstrate their ability to cite evidence
to support a claim by arguing whether And
Still I Rise is a pessimistic or optimistic
poem.
