Knowledge: Skills: Values:

^Needs of the Diverse Learners

As the lesson is being planned, who are the students in the class whose specific learning
needs must be considered?
(e.g. Indigenous learners, English language learners, those who require more movement,
students with
hearing/visual impairments, high flyers, those who need behaviour or literacy supports)
How will the specific learning needs of these students in my class be addressed? (using UDL,
Differentiation)

^Observation/Conversation/Products that will be used to assess the learning (formative

assessment)

^COMPONENTS OF THE LESSON:

Introduction, Prompter/Hook (3 - 5 minutes)

The teacher introduces the lesson along with a question or activity that generates
enthusiasm or curiosity
in the students about the lesson.
Time to teach: (10 - 14 minutes)

a) Introduce Anchor (2-3 minutes) and connect to lesson 7-10 minutes
b) Describe the student learning activity and expectations of students’ 2-3 minutes
Time to practise: (15 – 30 minutes)
As students engage in the learning activity (independently, in Cooperative Learning
Groups or as a whole
