The Plan:
Anticipatory Set:
Today we are going to make a few expectations for practicum by each
of you (if 2) on how we should act when working together.

Introduce the Lesson:

Today we will be talking as a group to create a rules (community
guidelines) sheet.
I want you (each of you) to give at least 2 ideas on how you think
you should act when we are together since we only have an hour
to be together and get my activities finished.

Instruction:
Teaching the Lesson: I will write down our rules for us as a group to
follow so we can get all of my activities finished. A rule I think
should be added to our sheet is to have quiet mouths meaning
when I am talking you should use your listening ears and have a
bubble in your mouth. Have listening bodies by sitting still and
following my directions. If we have to travel somewhere, we
should use our walking feet so we stay safe. We also should have
helping hands and caring hearts because we do not want to hurt
our friends, we want to help each other out.
Check for Understanding: What Rules of mine did you like?
Guided Practice and/or Independent Practice: Give me at least 2 rules
that you think we should go by.
 Closure: We will look at our rules poster to go over the rules we just
came up with and that we will be practicing when we are
together. We will talk about each rule so they know for sure what
to do and not do for that rule.

Assessment/Evaluation:
I expect my student(s) to give 2 ideas on what rules and expectations I
have for him/her.
