(Sometimes only one option will apply)

☐ Teacher-led: There is no student voice and choice in the activities. Students are guided by the teacher's
direction and expectations. Learning activities are assigned to the student and mostly practice based.

☒ Student-Led: Students are given voice and choice in the activities. They may select the topic of learning
and/or determine the tool they will use to meet the learning goal. The teacher facilitates the learning as
the students direct their own learning processes.

☒ Problem-based and/or Publishable: Students are solving problems and completing authentic/real-world
projects to demonstrate their learning and publish results outside of the classroom. (Note: This objective
could be reached by displaying the project on the school’s morning newscast, posting the project to the
classroom blog, presenting it to another class, or publishing it via an outside source.)

Lesson idea implementation:

First, I will introduce the lesson today. Start opening discussion with the whole class, get an idea of
what or how many types of cloud are out there. Then discussing how multimedia tools, Spotify
podcast, news. We will begin by me starting with a short video about clouds and a short clip about
students using podcast and creating a video and broadcasting for their school announcement. Then I
will start the PowerPoint talking about clouds, and what type of clouds are there. After I will start
explaining the assignment, they can work by themselves, partners, and have the choice to do a video
or podcast. I will explain more about how to use Spotify podcast, or videos. Now we will head
outside, take about 10 minutes out there draw or write about what type of clouds do they see. We
will head back start working. I will be walking around the class and see of students have any
questions or help. We will be working on this assignment in class, and it will be due on Friday after
lunch time. We will have five days to work on it. Students will require to present their video or
podcast. After hearing all students present, we will have a close discussion about the assignment,
what they learned, did they find this fun and interesting, would they like to do this again?
Managing student learning:
I believe this will shift in the behavior by learning the other side, students will become active social
learners. As a result, they will be made aware of their options.
Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Reflection:
It provides options for physical action, communication, and expression that meets UDL principle of
multiple means of action and expression. The UDL principle of multiple means of engagement is also
met by recruiting interests, sustaining effort, and persistence.
Reflection:

I believe this lesson plan will get my students excited, ready to learn. Having my students to take lead and work
together, I believe they will be engaged, motivated, and motivated to learn. Viewing their presentations and
receiving feedback from my students are all things I am looking forward to.
