which they should have previously learned. Next,we will begin the new lesson by talking about
how to incorporate all three terms with the planets. Finally, the students will complete a Weight
Chart worksheet and we will share by doing some scenarios on the board.
Social Studies- students will be able to understand the importance of pets. The background
information will come from previous lessons on te actual war and why we it was a civil war.
1. I will ask the class what type of pet many people today have in America.
2. Watch a video of the matter.
3. Discuss the expressions of the soildiers.
4. Read
English: Students will follow along with Prezi Presentation to review the vocabulary words given
last class. I will give the students a quiz on the Vocabulary and introuduce to them new words
pertaining to what they will cover in their social studies class.

Varying Objectives for

Individuals Needs
(Differentiated Instruction-content;
Process; Product; or Environment)

Statement of Purpose

Materials and Resources

Anticipatory Set

How will you vary these objectives for students who do not understand the material?
Pre-Algebra- For students who do not understand the material I will play videos that
demonstrate the problem in a simpler form.
Physical Science- I will show a video or diagrams to better explain the content of the three
terms.
How will you vary these objectives for students who have already mastered the concept?
Pre-Algebra- I will call different people to the board to complete problems, who have
already mastered the concept. Mainly, because some children learn better from their
peers.
Physical Science- The students who mastered the concept will complete the worksheet
and go up to the overhead once called upon to display that they mastered concept in front
of the class.
How will you vary these objectives for students who are presently learning English?
Pre-Algebra- I would try to accommodate them as well, by playing different things in
Spanish or something of the sort. Also, I might try to go into more detail when explaining
problems.
Physical Science- I could try to explain the content slow, so the students can comprehend
better and also give multiple repetitive examples of what those students are not
understanding.
English- For students who did not understand I will set aside time in class for me to work
on the words with them. I would also put them in study groups so they can work together
to better understand the vocabulary.
Why is it important for the students to learn this content?
Pre-Algebra- Proportions are used in scale modeling; in changing recipes to feed more or
less people, in designing buildings, landscapes, vehicles, just about anything! Students
can actually use the concepts of proportions in their everyday life.
Physical Science- Students do not necessarily need this content for everyday life.
However, this content is vital for students because a future lesson about Isaac Newtons
Laws of Gravity is bound to come up. Students will be able to assess prior knowledge.
Social Studies- understand the important roles animals had on soildiers.
English- It is important for students to build their vocabulary and understand the
meanings of words during this time period.
What materials and supplies are needed to help your students achieve the stated
objectives?
Pre-Algebra-Objectives: Solve equations involving proportions. Basically the internet,
paper, and pencils.
Physical Science-Objectives: Practicing multiplication skills and learning about mass,
weight, and gravity. Paper, pencils, and a calculator
What will the teacher need? Pre-Algebra-Objectives: Solve equations involving
proportions. Basically the internet and the participation/feedback of the students.
Physical Science-Objectives: Practicing multiplication skills and learning about mass,
weight, and gravity. I will need a marker, overhead projector, Microsoft office, and internet.
What will the students need? Pre-Algebra-Objectives: Solve equations involving
proportions. Basically the students will need paper, and pencils. (calculator is optional)
Physical Science-Objectives: Practicing multiplication skills and learning about mass,
weight, and gravity. Students will need paper, pencils, and a calculator.
What other resources are needed? Pre-Algebra-Objectives: Solve equations involving
proportions. Students can bring the information from their previous math class such as:
notes.
Physical Science-Objectives: Practicing multiplication skills and learning about mass,
weight, and gravity. No other resources are needed.
Will you use resource speakers? Pre-Algebra-Objectives: Solve equations involving
proportions. No, I will not be using resource speakers.
Physical Science-Objectives: Practicing multiplication skills and learning about mass,
weight, and gravity. No I will not use resource speakers.
Social Studies- Assesments, handouts, mascot list,and video
English- Prezi presentation, highlighter, flashcards,worksheets
What will you do to motivate the students and get their attention? Pre-Algebra- To
motivate my students I will show fun fact videos or just encourage them in some way.
Physical Science-I will do some examples of famous people or objects that interest my
students.
What is the hook that will serve as a focus for the lessons activities? Pre-Algebra- The
hook of my lesson is that I proportions are most defiantly used in our everyday life.
Physical Science- The hook of the lesson is to give students knowledge about their

Revised Fall 2013 ACEI/NAEYC 2010 Standards

weight on other planets besides Earth.

Social Studies- to gain there attention I woud first talk about our mascot, and give a little
background.
English- I will make the learning process fun by doing different games with the students
so they are not just memorizing the words.

How will you find out what students already know about this topic?
Pre-Algebra- At the beginning of the lesson I will assign a Warm up which will indicate
how much knowledge each student has on the concept.
Physical Science- I will ask the students as a whole what do the terms mean in their own
words assessing their prior knowledge.
Social Studies- I will have a discussion first then quiz them on the subject.
English-I will give a short quiz to see if students recognize some of the vocabulary.
What will you do to show students what is expected?
Pre-Algebra- I will just read and explain both the standards and objectives of that
particular subject.
Physical Science- I will read the purpose of the lesson to them so they can know what I
expect them to learn by the end of the lesson.
Social Studies- I would tell them back in this time, at there age, they would be participating
in the war.
English- I will give them a general background of the standard and what is expected.
What will we do together as they learn how to succeed at the new task?
Pre-Algebra- We will all go through each example problem then I will later reveal the
answers after I have seen that every student has tried the problem shown.
Physical Science-We will all use my weight as an example and do some of my weights on
different planets.
Social Studies- Ask a starter topic from another class, to activate your topic.
EnglishWhat questions will you ask to determine if students understand so far?
Pre-Algebra- Does anyone have a question? Who wants to come to the board to try the
next problem?
Physical Science-Is anyone having trouble understanding how to convert their masses?
Would anybody like to share their weight on a specific planet?
What techniques or strategies will be used to determine if students understand so far?
Pre-Algebra- The technique of engaging each student, giving them opportunity to come up
to the board for demonstration.
Physical Science- I would put the students into groups and compare their results they
got from doing an example.
Social Studies- Who is your favorite mascot? What were the mascots listed? When
was the Civil War? Where did the civil war take place? Why did the war take place?
English- I will ask students if they have any questions. Do they need help with
understanding some of the words.
What will students do by themselves to show that they have internalized the knowledge?
Pre-Algebra- At the end of class each student will a complete a mini worksheet that will be
turn in.
Physical Science- The students will convert their masses on the worksheet that will be
given to them at the end of the lesson.
Social Studies-The students will take a quiz at the end of class.
English- Students will complete a quiz and turn in a homework assignment dealing with
the vocabulary.
How will you conclude the lesson and relate it to future experiences?
Pre-Algebra- I will do a quick review of todays assignments and objectives and challenge
the students to apply the concepts they have learned to real life experiences.
Physical Science- I will do a quick overview of the terms taught and tell students to apply
them when looking at objects in the world.
How will you wrap up the lesson to reinforce concepts taught during the lesson? Physical
Science- I will ask the students if they have a better understanding of mass, weight, and
gravity after the lesson. I will reinforce information that was given if no better
understanding is present.
Social Studies- I will conclude it with a quiz, then to relate to future experiences, when
they see a mascot at a future school they will ask the question why that mascot.
English- I will conclude with a quiz and make sure that the vocab is used in future lessons.

them at the end of the lesson.

English- Worksheets and a quiz.
What can students do at home or in the classroom to apply the knowledge or skills? How
could you use your colleagues or community agencies to improve student performance?
Pre-Algebra- I will challenge the students to apply the concepts they have learned to real
life experiences and my colleagues may help improve the students performance by just
encouraging he students and reward them in a way, to show that they are noticed for
doing a great job.
Physical Science-Students can gather their families weights for Earth and show their
families how to figure out their weights for other planets. My colleagues could possibly
boost the students confidence by giving them encouragement. They could ask what their
weight would be on a random planet and my students would be able to tell them.
English- They can have a family member quiz them at home with flashcards, and complete
the homework that was given relating to the vocabulary.

How will you use technology to assist students with learning the concepts? What technology will you
use to enhance the delivery and comprehension of your content?
Pre-Algebra- Mainly, I will be using he Smart Board and computer system, by playing different
instruction videos and allowing the students to come write out and demonstrate different problems.
Physical Science- I will use Microsoft PowerPoint to discuss the terms. I will use the overhead
projector to have examples written by my students and me. I will use the calculator to help convert
the masses to weights depending on the gravity for each planet.
Social Studies- I will use a video to enhance the delivery and comprehension. It will assist me because
of the different learning styles in the classroom.
English- I will use the Smartboard to show the Prezi presentation
How will you connect this lesson with other content areas across the curriculum? Include the
content areas as well as the arts, PE and Health.
Pre-Algebra- I could just make up different word problem that evolve different content areas.
Physical Science- I could connect it with a similar math lesson of multiplying numbers and finding
products.
Social Studies- I will connect it to sports in gym by making them come up with their own mascot.
English- I will connect it to their art class by having them draw out some of the vocabulary words.

PART III: REFLECTION

Strengths

Weaknesses

Suggestions for
Improvement

Describe the strengths of your instructional techniques, strategies and classroom management.
Describe the strengths of student engagement.
Pre-Algebra- I know how to grasp the attention of my students and keep them interested. I know
how to be entertaining, yet professional. I am a will rounded person.
Social Studies- my topic is an easy attention grabber. The students will become interested.
Describe the weaknesses of your instructional techniques, strategies and classroom management.
Describe the weaknesses of student engagement.
Pre-Algebra- Sometimes I explain too most, I talk too much sometimes. I take long ways around
instead of short cuts which make the lesson seem a little unclear at times. I have somewhat of a soft
spoken voice so sometimes people have a hard time hearing my in large areas.
Social Studies- students wont care for history as much
What would you change when teaching this lesson again?
Pre-Algebra- I probably would change the technique of speaking clearly and not overly explaining a
particular problem.
Social Studies I would have less material.
