Weekly Lesson and Asessment Plans 4 Keishunna Hardeman
particular topic or idea. Students will review, identify, and evaluate various mediums. The teacher will provide
examples during the activity to model the identification and evaluation process. Modeling is a teaching strategy
that will encourage students to assess varying mediums on their own. The students recently learned how to cite
textual evidence from a memoir and narrative. It is logical to teach students how to cite textual evidence to
support their evaluations of mediums. In this way, the teacher can gauge their understanding of using evidence
to support their conclusions. This lesson is important because students have to learn how to evaluate the
manner in which they receive information. Interpretation skills have practical applications in the real world.
Middle school is the time period when students transform into the people they desire to be throughout their
lives. Social norms of a given culture, whether we conform to them or choose to challenge them, are powerful
and unavoidable (Sensoy & DiAngelo, p. 41). This lesson will help students discover their identities as social
and emotional learners. Evaluating the advantages and disadvantages of mediums is a complicated process. In
future lessons, students will have to model the process of evaluating mediums. This lesson will help students
begin to identify and evaluate mediums.
Students will review several versions of the play, Fences, by August Wilson. They will have to evaluate the
advantages and disadvantages of using each medium to present the story. The students will record their
evaluations of the mediums in five to seven sentences. This assessment provides evidence of students’
understanding and fluency of the academic language used in this lesson because the students’ answers may or
may not reflect a proper evaluation of the literary works. The evidence of student learning will be the students’
written reflection. The evidence aligns with the learning objective because their reflection should identify the
mediums used to present information on the topic. Their reflections should also evaluate the advantages and
disadvantages of using different mediums to present the topic. This is an informal assessment of student
learning. (Formative Assessment)
The written reflections will show if students can appropriately identify and evaluate different mediums.
The teacher will use a rubric as a scoring guide.
Students will receive written and verbal feedback from the teacher. The students will receive verbal feedback
during the activity and written feedback when they submit their reflection. The assignments will be graded for
accuracy to the literary work. The teacher will determine the students’ score based on a rubric. A score of
eighty or above is exceptional. A score between seventy and seventy-nine is average. Any score below seventy
is unacceptable. Students who receive lower than a seventy will have the opportunity to resubmit the
assignment.
Students will use the feedback to continue identifying and evaluating different mediums.
Facilitation & Safety
The teacher will ensure that students understand the instructions by verbally stating the instructions and
displaying the instructions on the Smartboard. The teacher will quickly respond to disruptions and
interruptions with the intention of not wasting valuable class time. Students who continue to disrupt the
classroom will be removed by the eighth-grade administrator. Students who are disengaged will be asked to
take a more active role in the lesson. They will be called on to respond to questions, asked to pass out papers or
other materials, etc. Students who do not understand the content will be paired with students who understand
the content. Each transition is noted in the PowerPoint presentation that will be used during the lesson.
Classroom norms are reinforced daily because the classroom norms are displayed on a wall in the classroom
for students to view. All supplies for the lesson will be located at each group’s table before the students arrive
to class. The students will be placed in cooperative learning groups that support the learning objectives. Each
cooperative learning group contains four students and desks. Students who tend to be more active are placed
with some who are normally calm. There are four groups on the right side of the classroom and four groups on
the left side of the classroom. There is a wide aisle in the middle of the classroom and on both sides of the
groups. The aisles provide easy access for the students and teacher. Each student faces and sits next to another
student, which makes group work and think-pair-shares easier.

Vocabulary
The teacher will review the following vocabulary words with the students at the beginning of the lesson:
1. Advantage: to bring into consideration or notice, suggest; propose
2. Disadvantage: an unfavorable circumstance or condition that reduces the chances of success or
effectiveness
3. Evaluate: to decide the value or worth of after study
1. The teacher will teach an interactive mini-lesson on the mediums used to tell stories or communicate
ideas.
a. The mini-lesson will be taught through a PowerPoint (see PPT slide #9-14).
2. The teacher will distribute the play, Fences, by August Wilson to the students. We will read pages 44
through 54 of the play aloud.
a. Three students will volunteer to read the roles of Troy, Rose, and Cory.
3. We will view a movie clip from the movie, Fences.
4. We will view a clip from the live performance of Fences.
a. Students will evaluate the disadvantages and advantages of the movie clip, live performance,
and written play. They will do this through a discussion that will be facilitated by the teacher.
5. The students will participate in an activity regarding Fences.
a. They will identify each version of the literary work that we reviewed. Young adolescents will
compare and contrast the different mediums of Fences. They will also select which medium
they preferred. They will record their responses on a sheet of lined paper.
b. Students will share their response with the class.
Closure (5 minutes)
1. The teacher will review the vocabulary with students by asking them to loosely recall the definitions of
the vocabulary.
2. The teacher will mention that the vocabulary connects to the following class sessions because students
will continue to evaluate different mediums.
3. The teacher will tell students that tomorrow they will identify and evaluate different mediums.
4. The students will put their work from today into their manila folders. The folder collector will collect
the folders and file them in the folder bin.
Differentiation, Modification(s), & Accommodation(s)
The teacher will ensure that task demands and assessments are content rich for accelerated students. They
will do this by creating opportunities for gifted students to work together. The teacher will provide accelerated
students with challenging work to ensure that they are academically progressing. The teacher will re-teach
struggling students using their gaps in understanding and student work as the foundation for re-teaching. They
will reassess struggling students and reconsider teaching methods. Text will be read aloud to struggling readers
as well.
There is a co-teacher present in the classroom to assist students with exceptional difficulties with reading,
writing, and understanding content. The four students with an IEP receive the following modifications and
accommodations: classroom assignments (extra time for completion in the classroom); grading modifications
(students will be graded for completion as opposed to correctness); test preparation (oral reading of test
questions in English only by reader or assistive technology in a testing area); test scheduling (frequent
monitored breaks and extended time in testing area); test setting (small group in testing area).

Middle school is the time period when students transform into the people they desire to be throughout their
lives. Social norms of a given culture, whether we conform to them or choose to challenge them, are powerful
and unavoidable (Sensoy & DiAngelo, p. 41). This lesson will help students discover their identities as social
and emotional learners. Evaluating the advantages and disadvantages of mediums is a complicated process. In
future lessons, students will have to model the process of evaluating mediums. This lesson will help students
begin to identify and evaluate mediums.
Students will review several versions of the song, “This is America,” by Childish Gambino. They will have to
evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of using different mediums to present the song. The students will
record their evaluations of the mediums in seven to ten sentences. This assessment provides evidence of
students’ understanding and fluency of the academic language used in this lesson because the students’
answers may or may not reflect a proper evaluation of the literary works. The evidence of student learning will
be the students’ written reflection. The evidence aligns with the learning objective because their reflection
should identify the mediums used to present information on the topic. Their reflections should also evaluate
the advantages and disadvantages of using different mediums to present a topic. This is an informal assessment

The written reflections will show if students can appropriately evaluate different mediums.
The teacher will use a rubric as a scoring guide.
Students will receive written and verbal feedback from the teacher. The students will receive verbal feedback
during the activity and written feedback when they submit their reflection. The assignments will be graded for
accuracy to the literary work(s). The teacher will determine the students’ score based on a rubric. A score of
eighty or above is exceptional. A score between seventy and seventy-nine is average. Any score below seventy
is unacceptable. Students who receive lower than a seventy will have the opportunity to resubmit the
assignment.
Students will use the feedback to continue evaluating different mediums.
Facilitation & Safety
The teacher will ensure that students understand the instructions by verbally stating the instructions and
displaying the instructions on the Smartboard. The teacher will quickly respond to disruptions and
interruptions with the intention of not wasting valuable class time. Students who continue to disrupt the
classroom will be removed by the eighth-grade administrator. Students who are disengaged will be asked to
take a more active role in the lesson. They will be called on to respond to questions, asked to pass out papers or
other materials, etc. Students who do not understand the content will be paired with students who understand
the content. Each transition is noted in the PowerPoint presentation that will be used during the lesson.
Classroom norms are reinforced daily because the classroom norms are displayed on a wall in the classroom
for students to view. All supplies for the lesson will be located at each group’s table before the students arrive
to class. The students will be placed in cooperative learning groups that support the learning objectives. Each
cooperative learning group contains four students and desks. Students who tend to be more active are placed
with some who are normally calm. There are four groups on the right side of the classroom and four groups on
the left side of the classroom. There is a wide aisle in the middle of the classroom and on both sides of the
groups. The aisles provide easy access for the students and teacher. Each student faces and sits next to another
student, which makes group work and think-pair-shares easier.

The teacher will review the following vocabulary words with the students at the beginning of the lesson:
1. Advantage: to bring into consideration or notice, suggest; propose
2. Disadvantage: an unfavorable circumstance or condition that reduces the chances of success or
effectiveness
3. Evaluate: to decide the value or worth of after study
1. The teacher will distribute the song lyrics of “This is America” by Childish Gambino to the students. Five
volunteers will read the song lyrics to the class.
a. We will listen to the four-minute song with no visual.
b. We will view the music video for the song.
2. Students will select the medium that they think most effectively communicated the song’s message.
a. They will provide five reasons why they chose the medium they chose as the most effective.
b. Their written responses should be seven to ten sentences.
3. Young adolescents will share their selection with their elbow partner (the person sitting next to them).
4. Each student will read their written response to the class.
Closure (5 minutes)
1. The teacher will review the vocabulary with students by asking them to loosely recall the definitions of
the vocabulary.
2. The teacher will mention that the vocabulary connects to the following class sessions because students
will continue to evaluate different mediums.
3. The teacher will tell students that tomorrow they will evaluate different mediums of a memoir.
4. The students will put their work from today into their manila folders. The folder collector will collect
the folders and file them in the folder bin.
Differentiation, Modification(s), & Accommodation(s)
The teacher will ensure that task demands and assessments are content rich for accelerated students. They
will do this by creating opportunities for gifted students to work together. The teacher will provide accelerated
students with challenging work to ensure that they are academically progressing. The teacher will re-teach
struggling students using their gaps in understanding and student work as the foundation for re-teaching. They
will reassess struggling students and reconsider teaching methods. Text will be read aloud to struggling readers
as well.
There is a co-teacher present in the classroom to assist students with exceptional difficulties with reading,
writing, and understanding content. The four students with an IEP receive the following modifications and
accommodations: classroom assignments (extra time for completion in the classroom); grading modifications
(students will be graded for completion as opposed to correctness); test preparation (oral reading of test
questions in English only by reader or assistive technology in a testing area); test scheduling (frequent
monitored breaks and extended time in testing area); test setting (small group in testing area).

particular topic or idea. Students will review, identify, and evaluate various mediums. The teacher will provide
examples during the activity to model the identification and evaluation process. Modeling is a teaching strategy
that will encourage students to assess varying mediums on their own. The students recently learned how to cite
textual evidence from a memoir and narrative. It is logical to teach students how to cite textual evidence to
support their evaluations of mediums. In this way, the teacher can gauge their understanding of using evidence
to support their conclusions. This lesson is important because students have to learn how to evaluate the
manner in which they receive information. Interpretation skills have practical applications in the real world.
Middle school is the time period when students transform into the people they desire to be throughout their
lives. Social norms of a given culture, whether we conform to them or choose to challenge them, are powerful
and unavoidable (Sensoy & DiAngelo, p. 41). This lesson will help students discover their identities as social
and emotional learners. Evaluating the advantages and disadvantages of mediums is a complicated process. In
future lessons, students will have to model the process of evaluating mediums. This lesson will help students
begin to identify and evaluate mediums.
Students will write a personal memoir. They will write their memoir and make digital versions of their memoir.
The students’ written memoir should be ten or more sentences. Their digital memoir (video) should be one
minute or more. This assessment provides evidence of students’ understanding and fluency of the academic
language used in this lesson because the students’ memoir may or may not effectively use different mediums to
present their life story. The evidence of student learning will be the students’ written and digital memoir. The
evidence aligns with the learning objective because their memoir should use different mediums to present their
personal narrative. This is a formal assessment of student learning. (Formative Assessment)
The memoirs will show if students can appropriately use different mediums.
The teacher will use a rubric as a scoring guide.
Students will receive written and verbal feedback from the teacher. The students will receive verbal feedback
during the activity and written feedback when they submit their memoirs. The assignments will be graded for
effective use of the mediums. The teacher will determine the students’ score based on a rubric. A score of eighty
or above is exceptional. A score between seventy and seventy-nine is average. Any score below seventy is
unacceptable. Students who receive lower than a seventy will have the opportunity to resubmit the assignment.
Students will use the feedback to continue using different mediums to present a topic or idea.
Facilitation & Safety
The teacher will ensure that students understand the instructions by verbally stating the instructions and
displaying the instructions on the Smartboard. The teacher will quickly respond to disruptions and
interruptions with the intention of not wasting valuable class time. Students who continue to disrupt the
classroom will be removed by the eighth-grade administrator. Students who are disengaged will be asked to
take a more active role in the lesson. They will be called on to respond to questions, asked to pass out papers or
other materials, etc. Students who do not understand the content will be paired with students who understand
the content. Each transition is noted in the PowerPoint presentation that will be used during the lesson.
Classroom norms are reinforced daily because the classroom norms are displayed on a wall in the classroom
for students to view. All supplies for the lesson will be located at each group’s table before the students arrive
to class. The students will be placed in cooperative learning groups that support the learning objectives. Each
cooperative learning group contains four students and desks. Students who tend to be more active are placed
