Lesson:

Main Idea

Quick Overview of Lesson


In 100 words or less, give a description of the lesson.

In this lesson plan, student will use the BrainPop app to use their resources and explore main ideas. Either in the app or on pages
printed from the website, students will be able to read short stories, books and watch movies or videos and be asked to find the
main idea. They will be provided with a graphic organizer to help them find the main idea of the media they chose.

Why Do Students Care About This Lesson?


Why are they excited about the lesson, and how will you engage students who are not as interested in te lesson?

The students should like this lesson because they get to interact with the app and have the choice in what type of media they
want to look at. Students like to have a choice and some may like reading and others may like to watch videos. I will engage the
student who are not interested in the lesson by showing them that they can watch any movie clip or video they want or they have
the choice of what topic they want to read about.

Part 1

Essential Question:
List the question students should be considering as they complete the project. This is a driving question that hooks the students
into lesson or unit and is what they can answer at the end of the lesson. You should have ONE.

How do I find the main idea and why do I need to be able to identify it?

Learning Objectives:
Write your learning objectives (see (LO) & identify the Depth of Knowledge (DOK) level (DOK is listed later in this document).
LOs start with a verb (NOT students will). Do not use the words
understand or learn
One objective per (dont use and).
Do NOT mention the task.
What are students able to do or know at the END of the lesson?
DOK is how much critical thinking the STUDENT is doing.

Learning Objectives DOK level

Be able to identify the topic 2

Figuring out what the main idea is 2

Seeing the main idea and knowing what the details are that back up the main 3
idea

Content Area Standard:


What content area standard will you be addressing?

Finding the main idea and incorporating technology use into the lesson

Context:
Think about who your students are, you need to know the needs and levels of your students along with their personal interests
when you design your lessons. Create a fictional class in detail. Consider the diversity your class WILL have.

Who are your learners?

Students who are new to finding the main idea

Grade Level:

1st grade to 3rd grade

Part 2
Materials:
List materials required
This lesson plan is required to integrate technology

Internet access to BrainPOP


Anticipatory Set:
How will you introduce the lesson with a student-centered activity that captures their attention?
How will you activate prior knowledge? Can you build on a topic or skill they have already mastered?

I will start by showing the short clip provided by BrainPOP giving a quick explanation on how to find the main idea. I will
activate prior knowledge by reminding students what a main idea is and depending on the grade what they should know before
moving on to the next step with main ideas. You can build off of them first finding the main idea and then finding the key details
and showing how they support the main idea. Also they can build off of that and find the main ideas for multiple paragraphs.

Teaching Steps:
1. Describe the scope and sequence of the activity; listing step by step what will be occurring both by the teacher
and by the students.

2. Do NOT mention the teacher. Your lesson should come from the student perspective.

3. For each task, list the DOK level. How much critical thinking is the student involved in?

Task/Step DOK level

Watch a video on BrainPOP showing what the students are going to learn 1

Students will hear an explanation about what a main idea is and how to identify it 2

As a class pick a type of media off of the app and have the class go through an example 1

Pull up the BrainPOP organizer on the app and let students work individually to chose a type 3
of media

Have them determine the main idea and complete the organizer activity 1

Pair up with a partner 1

Compare your types of media and what you got as the main idea and why 3

Ask any questions that may come up when comparing main ideas 2

Closure:
How will the lesson end?

The lesson will end by going over the what a main idea is and how they can be identified in all different types of media. Making
sure each student understands the lesson and can clearly identify the main idea. If the activity is on a printed worksheet they can
hang a few of those around the room as a reminder to the students of what a main idea is.
Modern Lesson Design: 4 Cs
Student connections to the 4cs: Describe how your lesson
addresses each of the 4 Cs

Critically think: Be able to watch or read different types media and find what the main idea is by
Students are asked to... finding the details and seeing what idea they are all supporting

Critical thinking is coming up with their own ideas and defending them or creating something new or applying to a new situation.

Collaborate: The students are working with a partner after they identify the main idea to
Students are... compare and see if they both agree that they got the right main idea of that
certain media

Collaboration is not just working together, but to be reliant on each other. There should be some level of task switching.

Communicate: Students will communicate the new ideas they learned through the worksheet by
Students will... writing the main idea and supporting details

Communicate is not talking; it is clearly communicating ideas.

Create: Students will develop the knowledge of how to find the main idea of several
Students will develop... different types of media such as videos and paragraphs. This shows students that
they can apply this knowledge to everything and not just school related writing.

Create is how students are being CREATIVE. This is NOT creating art. This is NOT creating a PowerPoint.

DOK Levels
What DOK levels are addressed in this activity?
Remember it is NOT how HARD the task is, but the complexity of thinking.

You may only address ONE DOK level in this lesson


or up to all 4. Describe how your lesson addresses the
DOK level.

DOK 1: Memorize/Follow steps Following the steps of watching or reading the media
and then completing the questions on the worksheet

DOK 2: Think Analyzing the media and looking at all the details and
seeing what idea they all surround

DOK 3: Critically think Piecing together a main idea that all of the details in the
rest of the media support

DOK 4: Original thinking

Research:
What will your students be researching? What search/research techniques will your students need to know?

Researching Advanced Search/Research Technique

What is the main idea? Using the BrainPOP app to watch and read different
types of media that will help students find the main
idea by completing a worksheet with questions

Assessment:
How will you know students have learned?

Formative assessment (see related info at the bottom of this document)


Finding the main idea of one piece of media

Sharing the main idea they found with a partner

Summative assessment (see related info at the bottom of this document)


Completing the worksheet with questions about finding the main idea

Questions to Ask Yourself:


(They need to be considered while creating the lesson plan, but do not need to be recorded here.)

How do you offer your students choice and a piece of control?


What decisions do the students get to make?

How does your lesson show that the student is the most
important?

How do you differentiate for student needs? Why is this lesson


appropriate for your lowest student and your highest student?

How do you differentiate for student needs? Why is this lesson


appropriate for your lowest student and your highest student?

How do you accommodate students with learning disabilities


or language issues?

What digital citizenship do you address in this lesson?

RESOURCES:
What is the difference between formative and summative
assessment?
Formative assessment
The goal of formative assessment is to monitor student learning to provide ongoing feedback that can be
used by instructors to improve their teaching and by students to improve their learning. More specifically,
formative assessments:
help students identify their strengths and weaknesses and target areas that need work
help faculty recognize where students are struggling and address problems immediately
Formative assessments are generally low stakes, which means that they have low or no point value.
Examples of formative assessments include asking students to:
draw a concept map in class to represent their understanding of a topic
submit one or two sentences identifying the main point of a lecture
turn in a research proposal for early feedback
Summative assessment
The goal of summative assessment is to evaluate student learning at the end of an instructional unit by
comparing it against some standard or benchmark.
Summative assessments are often high stakes, which means that they have a high point value. Examples of
summative assessments include:
a midterm exam
a final project
a paper
a senior recital
Information from summative assessments can be used formatively when students or faculty use it to guide
their efforts and activities in subsequent courses.
