Instruction
For this assignment, you will make an interdisciplinary lesson that targets objectives for your content area and grade level, along with targeting one objective for English/Language Arts/Reading for your grade level. Keep the following in mind as you prepare your lesson plan:
Here's a template for the Interdisciplinary Lesson Plan.
If you want to be considered for full credit, you need to include a third objective. This could be a second ELAR objective or a second objective that aligns with a standard for the other content area.
Please do not include more than 4 objectives in total as your lesson should be highly focused on just a 2-4 skills or concepts from the standards you reference.
Provide your grade level and the area you are seeking certification to teach.
Provide a link to the piece of reading you will include in your lesson or copy/paste the text of the piece of reading. Explain why you chose this piece of reading and how it connects to your content area. The piece of text you choose to read, must connect and support your content area.
Copy/paste the standards you will use to form 2-4 objectives. You must copy/paste the full wording of each standard along with the number/letter code. You MUST have at least ONE English/Language Arts/Reading standard in your lesson. Then you need at least one standard from a second content area (science). include 1-2 standards for your content area and ONE ELAR standard.
Once you have copied/pasted the standards you need to form 2-4 properly written objectives that align to the standards you have referenced. Six or more objectives will not help you receive more credit. You need to keep your lesson highly focused on just 3-4 objectives that you will directly assess through summative assessment at the end of your lesson. Two objectives should contain verbs from the top two tiers of Bloom's taxonomy to receive full credit. You learned how to from objectives in 5300. Please create an objective for each standard you reference.
Form a warm-up for your lesson that introduces the connection between your objectives across the two content areas. This should spark student interest and motivate them to learn more or it could be a pre-assessment to inform you about what students already know about the topic of your lesson. How will you introduce the topic of the current event and connect it to both content areas? How will you introduce your content objectives? How will you introduce your ELAR objective?
Instructional Strategies - This should be a detailed explanation of YOUR ROLE IN THE LESSON. If you only tell me what your students will be doing, you will receive no credit for this section. How will you use at least 2 high yield strategies to teach your objectives and guide the learning? When will you read the chosen text and how will you expand on key information from the chosen text? What specific literacy strategy will you teach and model as a part of your lesson? What will you do and say? What will you model for students? Be specific. What supports or scaffolds will you provide in order to introduce skills or concepts step by step and not overwhelm your students? What guided practice activities will you give your students? And how will you guide the learning during guided practice? What questions will you ask to promote critical thinking throughout your lesson? Your lesson should align with your objectives. (*If you show a video, then you need to detail how you will use it. Showing a video does not replace direct teaching. Where will you stop to expand on key information and ask questions? *If you are having students conduct research, this does not take the place of a lesson taught by you. Research assignments should be the extension of a well-taught lesson. The research assignment is your summative assessment and not your instructional strategy. You need to explain how you will prepare your students for success with research during your lesson.*Having an expert come and talk to your students is NOT APPROPRIATE for this assignment. You need to explain how you will teach your objectives before an expert ever arrives. We have experts come after we have taught students the topic ourselves first.)
What materials will you need and how will you use them? How will your students use them? You must include technology that all students use themselves to be considered for full credit. If the teacher uses technology, this only gets you 2 points and not the full 3 points. You need to explain how you will implement an ISTE standard to receive full credit in this section.
How will you assess your objectives using formative assessment? Be specific to each objective. If you are having students provide peer feedback, then you need to teach the students the criteria they will use to provide peer feedback as a part of your lesson in the instructional strategies section.
How will you assess your objectives through summative assessment? You need to assess 3 objectives at the top two tiers of Bloom's taxonomy to qualify for full credit. If questions are involved, you need to share the questions. If a rubric is involved you need to share the rubric.. If you are assigning a project or research to assess your objectives, you need to discuss the criteria you will use to determine your students' proficiency levels with each objective. The criteria on a rubric should target your objectives.
You need to create either a homework assignment or an assignment that you would use to reinforce the learning in the classroom the next day. This should not be your assessment. This should be a new activity that reinforces your objectives.
