Lesson 1: Matching Object to Object

SUBJECT TEACHER GRADE DATE

Requesting Bielefeld ECSE Week 1

OVERVIEW
In the pre instructional step of this plan, students are given an opportunity to match the
objects using visual representations on the iPad using the application called
“CoreMatch”. Within the content presentation portion of the lesson, the teacher
introduces the objects, provides vocabulary model for each object and with a Para,
models the performance expectations of the lesson. During the learner participation,
students are taking turns to match object to object, adult prompt support is provided as
necessary. Session assessment data is collected on the data sheet. It is important to
note that the “CoreMatch” application will need to be preloaded with visuals of lesson
materials.
