review them and make sure the objective was met.
 1. Teacher Input / Direct Instruction / Modeling: (C6)
Beging with PPT with supporting videos and pictures to hook students, followed by Listing and review key terms
prior to instruction within the PPT, then brief outline of our objective for that day.

2. Student Activities / Guided Practice: (C6)

Day 1 Cut out activity of the moon phases
Day 2: Ball and lamp activity demonstrating seasons
Day 3: Ball and lamp activity demonstrating shadows with the earth and moon

3. Independent Practice: (C6)

Day 1: Take home worksheets to practice moon cycle
Day 2: Handout on seasons: placement of the earth in correlation with the sun.
Day 3: Handout where students pair and create shadows with objects given by teacher.
