Instructional Goal (outcome that students should be able to demonstrate upon completion of the learning experience, should be related to state standards or Indiana Foundations): In this activity, students will practice giving and following three- and fourstep oral directions. Performance Objective (use an action verb in a description of a measurable outcome): After this lesson, students will be able to follow oral directions Materials & Aids (what you will need in order to teach this activity): A list of simple directions that students can follow while in the classroom setting. This list should include actions to do, places to go, and things to say. Procedures: a. Focusing event (how you will begin the lesson and attract the childrens attention): First we will review how to be active listeners. Ask students for suggestions and write them down on a board for everyone to see. Then demonstrate what a three step oral direction is (ex. Stand up, go get a piece of paper, go back to seat, sit down) Tell them directions will only be given once. b. Student Participation (how you will get the students to participate and stay on task): Have students participate in thinking up three step or four step directions and write them down on board or easel. During lesson have rest of class listen and make sure students are following directions correctly. c. Teaching procedures (step-by-step directions for what and how you will teach): 1. Select a person to do something (stand up), and go someplace(chalkboard), say something(name a favorite animal), and invite someone(select next person to participate) 2. Have the rest of the students watch and listen to see if the person has followed directions correctly. 3. Repeat this activity, changing directions each time so that all students get an opportunity to follow directions d. Closure (how you will end the learning activity): Review with the students the importance of following directions, not only at school but at home, at work, traveling, and when playing. Write down on board their suggestions on why it is important and then go over the ones no one mentioned. Assessment

a. Formative check (progress checks throughout the learning activity): While students are following directions have a list with names and check off the students who followed the directions step-by-step without asking for help through all three or four steps. b. Summative assessment (how you will measure outcomes to determine if the material has been learned): Have students answer questions: How does active listening help you to follow directions? How do you remember three and four-step directions? Have students write up a set of directions for teacher or an adult to follow. Make sure students know that these directions should have a certain sequence or purpose and should look similar to what was discussed in class. Adaptations for special needs (based on IFSP or IEP): Special needs based on IEP may have a partner to help them stay on task and make sure they are following directions in order. The student can only help not do it for them. This activity was one of the benchmarks for my IEP that was previously submitted. Student had problem following oral instructions. Lesson Extensions For More Practice: Students can write three step directions on a small piece of paper, number it, fold it up, and put it into a basket. Students will take turns drawing a piece of paper and reading it for the other student. The student must follow the directions in order. Then it is the other students turn. Each paper they complete they write down the number that is on the set of directions onto the paper they will turn into the teacher.

For More Challenge: Students will create a birds eye map of their neighborhood and give three, four, or five step directions on how to get to certain places, for example, the school, the hospital, the police station, etc.
