Objectives- What are you

teaching?
(Student-centered: What will
students know and be able to
do after this lesson? Include
the ABCDs of objectives:
action, behavior, condition,
and degree of mastery, i.e.,
"C: Given a sentence written
in the past or present tense,
A: the student B: will be able
to re-write the sentence in
future tense D: with no errors
in tense or tense contradiction
(i.e., I will see her
yesterday.)."
Note: Degree of mastery does
not need to be a percentage.)
Rationale
Address the following
questions:
Why are you teaching this
objective?

within a larger plan?
Why are you teaching it
this way?
Why is it important for
students to learn this
concept?

Students will be able to predict the problem and identify the solution to the problem in
the story.

I am teaching this objective in order to present the prediction/ inference into our
ELA learning,
This lesson is a part of the Countys planning support tools and a part of the
kindergarten curriculum.
I am teaching the lesson this way in order to gain the interest of the students.
The students will need to be able to inference in the future education all the time.

Evaluation Plan- How will
you know students have
mastered your objectives?
Address the following:

I will be able to evaluate the students ELA journals where they will record what they
have learned about the problem and solutions in the story. What they predicted would
happen.

Teacher must have read the book

Knowing how to inference
Being able to locate the problem and solution

Students will be reminded of using their schema and investigating skills.

The students are ready for this content as we have built up to this and have
unconsciously looked at texts for this information.

Each content area may require a different step-by-step format. Use

whichever plan is appropriate for the content taught in this lesson.
For example, in science, you would detail the 5 Es here
(Engage/Encountering the Idea; Exploring the Idea;
Explanation/Organizing the Idea; Extend/Applying the Idea;
Evaluation).
Essential Question: What is the problem and solution of the story?
Engage: What do you think a problem and a solution can be? Think
really hard
Explore: Turn and Talk to your shoulder partner and tell them what
you think a problem and a solution can be. 2 min. Call on student
and ask what partner said.
Explain:
I do: good readers use evidence they know & evidence from
the text to guess what might happen next We will be using
evidence from the text to identify the problem happening in the
story and finding the solution.
We do: Make a T chart, using answers from the T&T we will
define problem and solution and leave room to collect evidence in
the story.
H.O.T. question what is predicting or making an inference?
Read Simon and Molly plus Hester by Lisa Jahn- Clough
They do: Give me details from the story to site as evidence.
Elaborate: We will draw pictures on our chart to remember the
characters and the problem/ solution.
Evaluate: Students will return to their desks and take out their ELA

journals and record the problem and the solution in the story. By
drawing a line does their page to split the page in 2. They will draw
the problem/solution and write about them.

What will you do if

a student struggles with the content?

I will be able to pair them with a student who understands the content.

What will you do if

a student masters the content quickly?

Ask them H.O.T questions

Meeting your students

needs as people and as
learners

If applicable, how does this lesson connect to the interests and cultural
backgrounds of your students?
Students of all cultural backgrounds need to know how to predict and use text
evidence.
If applicable, how does this lesson connect to/reflect the local community?
All students will have problem and solutions.
How will you differentiate instruction for students who need additional
challenge during this lesson (enrichment)?
The drawings will help students who may have trouble writing, and for
enrichment we can have students add extra details to their findings.

How will you differentiate instruction for students who need additional
language support?
ESOL aid is usually in the room during ELA. I also can work one on one during
journal writing.
Accommodations (If
needed)
(What students need specific
accommodation? List
individual students (initials),
and then explain the
accommodation(s) you will
implement for these unique
learners.)
Materials
(What materials will you use?
Why did you choose these
materials? Include any
resources you used. This can
also include people!)

JH- ESE aid is constantly in the room, the student only works with hand over hand
assistance and one on one support. Student needs very frequent breaks.
