Lesson Plan 1
Section A-Instructional Phase
Allison Ross
DCCC, EDU 206 Teaching with Technology
Instructor: Dr. Kelechi Ajunwa
Course-Grade Level: 2nd Grade
Subject: Math
Lesson Objective:
SWBAT recognize the time on an analog and digital clock and be able to reproduce a time
shown on the clock when prompted with 80% accuracy on a 10-question worksheet after a 60-
minute lesson.
Do Now: {5 minutes}
• TW point at the clock and ask the students, “what is this”
• TW explain that clocks help us tell time
• TW show students’ image of both an analog clock and a digital clock.
• SW create using various materials their own clock with movable hands, including hour
and minute marks.
o Using glue, scissors, color pencils, color markers.
Homework:
Assessment Strategy:
• During the exit assessment students will do a formal assessment on identifying time
on analog and digital clocks to the nearest 5 minutes. (CC.2.4.2. A.2) (SWBAT)
• Homework is returned the teacher will analyze the matching worksheet and the
written lists to identify student accuracy in answers as a qualitative assessment
((CC.2.4.2. A.2))
Academic Language:
• Minute- a period of time comprised of 60 seconds
• Hour- a period of time comprised of 60 minutes
• Digital- a format of time that is displayed with hours left of the colon and minutes on the
right
• Analog- a format of time that is displayed with 12 hours demonstrated on a circle with 3
hands, hours, minutes, and seconds.
Equity Measures/Differentiation:
• Through the use of worksheets, videos, games and teacher instruction I will be mindful of
information overload to not present too much information to the student at one time.
• I utilized high-engaged time with students have at least 20 minutes of the lesson to
create an explore in connection to the information that they are being taught throughout
the making a clock with movable hands activity.
• Within my objectives I wanted students to receive at least 80% accuracy on a 10-question
quiz allowing for some students to excel hire and some students to meet just at that level.
• IF this lesson needed to be differentiated for different levels students would be able to
complete more or less of the clocks in the guided practice section to ensure that they are
still receiving valuable instruction on attaining the objective to tell time do the five-
minute mark they were just have less or more questions to complete within the same time
frame.
Justification of Digital Content_LP1
Directions: Please write a 1-2 paragraph statement explaining why you selected this digital
content.
Within this lesson I utilized a virtual story book which I thought added to the academic
potential of the lesson, because I would not have access to a book contain many of these times
that have clocks set at the five-minute mark in different hours on hand. I do not as though this
would take away from anything in the lesson as if I had read a book in person rather than
watching the book the read aloud. This Reese’s one that I would use throughout digital or
blended learning so a student could receive the same story whether in school or not in school. I
used the opportunity within this lesson to connect a virtual book rather than having a lesson be
completely virtual or completely in person.
Lesson Plan 2
Section A-Instructional Phase
Allison Ross
DCCC, EDU 206 Teaching with Technology
Instructor: Dr. Kelechi Ajunwa
Course-Grade Level: 2nd
Subject: ELA
Homework:
• SW create another story to demonstrate mastery of the concept of the 5W’s and the
sequency of events and mark up with their labels.
Assessment Strategy:
• A formative assessment will be formed out of the amount of correct placement of the
sequence of events during the exit ticket. CC.1.2.2.C
• A summative assessment of the homework returned to identify the 5w’s with accuracy.
CC.1.2.2. B
Academic Language:
• First – the beginning action
• Second- the sequential action after the first
• Next- after and action
• After- following the previous action
• Who- the person doing an action.
• What- the action, or object.
• When- the time of which an event occurs
• Where- the setting of which an event occurs
• Why- the reason a person or action is doing something.
Equity Measures/Differentiation:
• What’s in this activity are used balanced instructional time, between teacher instruction,
independent instruction and guided practice to allow the students to explore the
objectives of learning the 5W’s and sequential order through the continent in the lesson.
• I used rigorous objections for this grade level to challenge the students to gain most of the
lesson with multiple state standards.
• Within the objective I did not state how fluent students needed to display their learning of
the 5W’s in sequential order to allow for differentiation in the lesson and possibly
splitting up each of the Ws for some students who may need more focus to help them
understand the concept of each.
Justification of Digital Content_LP2
Directions: Please write a 1-2 paragraph statement explaining why you selected this digital
content.
Within this lesson I used two digital content applications to help reinforce student
learning. I feel as though utilizing videos, while learning in the 21st-century should aid learning
without taking away from advances in the classroom, so I used a video for reinforcement to help
students remember the definitions on the 5W’s gonna give them a strategy on how to remember
each W. I also integrated the virtual story book where the students would be able to see a picture
and words that connected with the lesson, I decided to integrate this because I would not have
access to the book and if I use this resources, it would be accessible for all types of learning.
Lesson Plan 3
Section A-Instructional Phase
Allison Ross
DCCC, EDU 206 Teaching with Technology
Instructor: Dr. Kelechi Ajunwa
Course-Grade Level: 3rd Grade
Subject: Mathematics
Lesson Objective:
SWBAT identify the value of each form of American Currency and apply knowledge of their
worth to commutate transaction problems with an 80% accuracy on a 12-question assessment.
Do Now: {5 minutes}
• TW display on the screen an image of multiple types of US currency, penny nickel dime
quarter dollar bill five-dollar bill $10 bill $20 bill and $100 bill.
• TW ask students one at a time to approach the board to identify the value of each
currency.
• TW will ask students when would we need to add or subtract money? (When we get more
money or when we are buying an object)
• TW have students write on paper $20.
• TW read a story out loud. Throughout the story SW subtract and add different amounts of
money that the characters are saving and spending within the story demonstrating the
transactions. (CC.2.4.3. A.3)
• “If I have 3 dollars, 7 dimes, and 5 quarters, and 5 pennies how much money do I have all
together?” (CC.2.4.3. A.3)
• “If I have seven pennies and two dimes how else could I show this value”
o 2 pennies 5 nickels, etc.
• “When adding dimes which place value do they add in” (CC.2.1.3. B.1)
o Tenths
• “What happens if I pay too much money?” (Receiving change)
• “If I pay $10 for an item that only cost five how much money will I get back?” “
Homework:
Assessment Strategy:
• SW be given a formative assessment with 12 subtraction problems where they must
display knowledge of place value and ability to make change. CC.2.4.3. A.3
• Teachers will use qualitative assessment by asking students of which place value pennies
belong in, dimes, dollars, etc., while incorporating addition by saying, “When adding
dimes which place value do they add in” (CC.2.1.3. B.1)
Academic Language:
• Dollar- the standard of US. Currency
• Cent- U S. Currency that is 1/100th of a dollar.
• Quarter- US. Currency that is 1/4th of a dollar, worth 25 cents.
• Dime- US. Currency that is 1/10th of a dollar, worth 10 cents.
• Nickel- US. Currency that is 1/20th of a dollar, worth 5 cents.
• Penny- Nickname of a Cent, U S. Currency that is 1/100th of a dollar, worth 1 cent.
Equity Measures/Differentiation:
• I utilized maximize rigorous engagement through yes or no answers in the guided
practice portion of the lesson.
• Are you guys many levels of blooms taxonomy through, apply, identify, and
communicate within the lesson objection to make them rigorous.
• As to see it on the lesson objective I was looking for 80% accuracy at least from the
students to display their knowledge in place value, subtraction and addition, and
identifying currency. Differentiation in this lesson could be limiting the number of
questions that are asked to a student within the same amount of time as others.
Justification of Digital Content_LP3
Directions: Please write a 1-2 paragraph statement explaining why you selected this digital
content.
1. Within this lesson plan I utilize two digital resources to aid to the learning done in class.
Are you don’t like resources for convenience of students be able to see a clear picture of
money in front of them and it is selected specifically for the grade level where I limited
which forms of US currency are being displayed. Utilize the first resource to work as a
full class for students to work together to add the currency to demonstrate their
knowledge of place value. This resource I used is a more individual portion of the lesson
where students would answer yes, or no questions and I would get feedback from the
website showing the students answers. This allowed to get formative assessments from
the lessons and allowed the students to handle money without using real currency.
Lesson Plan 4
Section A-Instructional Phase
Allison Ross
DCCC, EDU 206 Teaching with Technology
Instructor: Dr. Kelechi Ajunwa
Course-Grade Level: 3rd Grade
Subject: Science technology engineering education
Lesson Objective:
SWBAT differentiate the phases of the moon, distinguish images of moon phases, and correctly
describe the phases using terms Waning, Waxing, Crescent, Gibbous, New Moon, etc. with 75%
accuracy when presented with 8 questions.
Do Now: {5 minutes}
• TW present an image of the moon and ask the students what they see
• TW present a different phase of the moon an ask the students to identify the differences
between the images
• TW introduce the phases of the moon
• TW emphasize that the moon does not shrink though less is visible due to the shadow of
the earth
o
• SW label each phase of the moon.
Homework:
• SW for 1 month draw a picture of the moon in the night sky to document the changes in
appearance. (3.3.3.B1)
•
Assessment Strategy:
• A summative assessment of understanding will be though students 1-month drawings of
picture of the moon in the night sky to document the changes in appearance. (3.3.3.B1)
• During guided practice teacher will do an informal formative assessment of the students
understanding of the moon phase names. (3.3.3.B1)
Academic Language:
• Waxing- to grow larger and increase in appearance
• Waning- to decrease in appearance and grow smaller
• Gibbous- when more than half of the moon is lit by the sun
• Crescent- When less than half of the moon is lit by the sun
• Full moon- when the whole moon is visible from the earth
• New moon - when the no moon is visible from the earth
• ¼ moon - when the ½ of the moon is visible, with the left side lit by the sun
• 3/4 moon- when the ½ of the moon is visible, with the right side lit by the sun
• Orbit- to move around another object synchronously.
• Cycle- the repeating period of an occurrence.
Equity Measures/Differentiation:
• I used to practice of multiple intelligences within my lesson plans, I had students use
multiple visual learning methods as long with auditory methods and literary methods.
• Within the homework assignment I allowed students to fully engaged with the moon
cycle and the concept that they were learning to see firsthand the materials they were
learning within the lesson
• Differentiation could be implemented within the exit assessment in the NASA resource as
I am able to control the questions that the students get and allow hints for students that
may need them or include more challenging questions.
Justification of Digital Content_LP4
Directions: Please write a 1-2 paragraph statement explaining why you selected this digital
content.
Within this lesson I used two different forms of digital resources. The first essay used was
Quizlet live which is a collaborative quiz were students are paired multiple times for different
classmates to answer questions together about the content within the course. The status of digital
aid that I used was an online activity through NASA to track the students’ knowledge of the key
objectives and key terms in the lesson through a summative assessment. In the age of 21st
Century learning I feel as though these digital resources would aid the learning for students to
not have too much time being talked at but rather engaging with their learning.
Lesson Plan 5
Section A-Instructional Phase
Allison Ross
DCCC, EDU 206 Teaching with Technology
Instructor: Dr. Kelechi Ajunwa
Course-Grade Level: 7th
Subject: Science
Lesson Objective:
SWBAT design and construct an egg drop experiment working collaboratively within small
groups Students will be evaluated based upon their ability to measure data on a worksheet.
Do Now: {5 minutes}
• TW ask students “if I drop pin in this weather at the same time which will hit the ground
first”
• TW prompt students that they will land at the same time because of gravity
• TW define Gravity
o According to Merriam-Webster, “the attraction of the mass of the earth, the moon,
or a planet for bodies at or near its surface”.
• TW show the video on Gravity by crash course.
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljRlB6TuMOU
It more beneficial to us heavier or lighter materials to achieve a higher successful drop height?
What do heavier materials affect the speed at which the egg falls? (No because of gravity)
What do lighter materials affect the speed at which the egg falls? (No because of gravity)
Homework:
• SW use their data table and worksheet from class to extrapolate the data to find if lighter
materials versus heavier materials lead to the egg surviving higher drop heights on a
graph. (CC.3.5.6-8. G.)
Assessment Strategy:
• A summative assessment will be take on graphing data from the experiment form the
homework activity. CC.3.5.6-8. G.)
• An informal qualitative assessment on following the procedures of the process to execute
their experiment will be evaluated. CC.3.5.6-8. C.)
Academic Language:
• Gravity- the attraction of an abject to the earth due to the atmospheric pull
• Technician- the main builder who will work on constructing the creation.
• Recorder- the student in the group record measurements and weight on the
worksheets.
• Droppers- this is who will be dropping the creation.
• Project manager- the student who will ensure everyone is staying on task, will read
the instructions, and be aware of limitations
Equity Measures/Differentiation:
• I used a graphic organizer for the students hand out which allowed them to gather all their
information on measurements and weights for a more visual way of organizing their
information.
• Are utilized project base learning technique and discovery for students to learn by trial
and error what is the most effective way to protect the egg while keeping the lightest
parachute.
• I focused on group work within this activity and the roles of each student within the
group to help students with social needs to gain more interaction with others and work
within the team setting.
• I would comprise the group of many different students who could all work within the
different roles assigned to each group where students could be focusing more on the
building versus the recording to differentiate the levels of which students can work
together.
Justification of Digital Content_LP5
Directions: Please write a 1-2 paragraph statement explaining why you selected this digital
content.
1. I utilized two video resources within this lesson. I first use the first video by crash course
to explain how gravity affects objects on earth and how gravity impacts our daily lives to
show the students firsthand the importance of this concept. I’ve been used the video by
MythBusters to introduce the topic of our lesson and to allow the students to see an
example of the project that they were working towards. This is catering to more visual
learners who need to see the end goal of their experiment rather than just reading the
procedure.
