700.3 (this project) evaluates your knowledge and skills in the following areas:
- Using the state standard to write learning objectives
- Aligning the rigor of the state standard to the rigor of the learning objective
- Developing a performance measure that is aligned to the state standard and is included in the learning objective
- Recognizing the basic elements of lesson planning
For 700.3, you will write two complete lesson plans and submit each one for evaluation and feedback.

ASSESSMENT/PERFORMANCE MEASURE:
MATERIALS and SETTING What materials do you need for this lesson? What is the setting? Are students in pairs, groups, stations, floor, library, science lab? |
KEY VOCABULARY and ACADEMIC LANGUAGE What vocabulary terms must students know to understand the concept being taught? |
FOCUS ACTIVITY What activity will students engage in that will pique their interest about the upcoming lesson? Think of this like a preview for an upcoming movie – something that ignites curiosity |
CONNECTION TO PRIOR LEARNING This is what you say to students about what they have already learned and how it prepares them for what they are about to learn; review what they have learned to prepare them for the upcoming lesson. |
OBJECTIVE STATEMENT (be sure to include the performance measure) This is what you say to students about what students will learn today, and how they will show they have learned the content (that is the performance measure) |
PURPOSE OF LEARNING Why do students need to learn this today? This should be written in what you will say to students and should include both why it is important to the content and why it is relevant in their lives. |
INSTRUCTIONAL STEPS Include: Step by Step Instructions Key Points Directions to give |
LITERACY STRATEGIES USED Be sure you include activities that support literacy; vocabulary, reading, listening, speaking and writing |
STUDENT USE OF TECHNOLOGY Even if you do not have enough technology devices for your students, you must include student use of technology as if you did have all the technology you need. |
6 QUESTIONS FOR UNDERSTANDING 1 question per each level of Bloom’s Taxonomy Identify the level of Bloom’s Questions should increase in complexity as lesson progresses |
MODIFICATIONS/ACCOMMODATIONS Create at least one modification/accommodation for a student with special needs, and one modification/accommodation for English language learners |
RETEACH/EXTENSION Include different activities for struggling students and for students who already understand the material |
