Statement of instructional goals and objectives:

Do you have these from the lesson plan you taught?

Include your goals and objectives. If you are designing a lesson for the public
schools, list the specific standards your lesson will address. Provide links to the
standards, if you have them. Basically, answer the question, What is purpose of the
planned instruction?.
Learner Characteristics:
The groups of learners are 9th graders at H.E. McCracken Middle School in Bluffton,
South Carolina, and make up six individual FACS and Design 1 classes. The students
range in ages from 14 to 17 with the most common age being age 15. There are 142
students total including 60 girls and 82 boys. These classes are comprised of 31 African
Americans, 5 Asian, 63 Caucasians, and 43 Hispanic. Six of the students have been
identified as having an IEP (Individual Education Plan). There are seven students with a
504 Student Accommodation Plan. There are four students with a BIP (Behavior
Intervention Plan). Twenty-nine students are being served by the ESOL (English
Speakers of Other Languages) program and range from levels 1 to 5.
To gather the above mentioned information about the groups of learners, there were
several methods used. To start, the students information that is logged into
PowerSchool was reviewed. This database was used to gather student gender, race
and birthdates. Student files from the guidance office were used to determine IEPs,
504s and BIPs. Information for ESOL students was gathered from the lead ESOL
teacher.
Content and Instructional Strategies:
Do you have this in your lesson plan and we can just add in the game?
What content will you present or provide? How will it be presented? How will it be
sequenced? What instructional strategies will you use? This is where games
might come into play nicely.
Important: Your instructional strategies must be in alignment with your goals and
objectives. If there is not a direct connection between content or strategies that
you plan to use, then rethink your plan.

Learner Assessment:
Students will use the snipping tool to capture the image of their completed room
and write a reflection? What ?s will they answer in the reflection?
How will you assess your learners? Describe how they will be tested. You do not
need to develop the assessment, but you need to provide a detailed description of it.
