I. Identify this document with your full name, date of lesson, host school, grade level and the subject for

which the lesson is created.

II. Activity Title: indicate the topic to be taught

III. Illinois Learning Standard: List the Illinois Learning Standards found at

http://www.isbe.net/ils/Default.htm appropriate to lesson, subject and grade level. Include the letters

and numbers of appropriate benchmarks for each standard. These standards delineate what students

should master from this lesson.

IV. Learner Objectives or Learning Targets: Explain what the students should know and be able to do

upon completion of the lesson. Clearly identify the knowledge and skills that they will acquire. Ensure

that your students know what they will learn, why it is important to them and how it relates to their lives

or their learning? These lesson objectives must be specific and measurable.

These may be stated as Learner Objectives with the following wording:

At the completion of this lesson students will be able to:

1. underline at the action verb is 15 sentences

2. color the parts of a cell common to all cells, when given a diagram of a cell

3. ……

OR as Learning Targets for the students to self-assess at the end of the lesson

1. I can identify action verbs in 15 sentences by underlining them.

2. I can color the parts of a cell that are common to all cells, when given a diagram of a cell.

3. I can ….

V. Resources: Research sources that extend your depth of understanding of the topic to be taught, enhance

your lesson and extend the information in the teacher’s manual. This may include teacher resources like;

on line teacher websites and instructional materials like Pinterest, the publisher’s website for the text,

other teacher manuals, you tube videos, videos, journal articles; and school personnel. List all resources

used to create your lesson.

VI. Materials needed for this lesson: Using the chart format shown below, list materials needed for

students and teacher. Be sure they are readily available for the lesson.

each component.

a. Engagement /Anticipatory Set/Motivation: How will you will “hook” or motivate the class?

What will you use to capture students’ attention and access their prior knowledge? State the

objective either here or in the next section. Tell students how this lesson will help them either in

their lives or in other curriculum. What will be said to introduce the activity? Include a script of

what you will say and do.

b. Explanation / Content Introduction: How will you introduce and teach the concept, process, or

b. Explanation / Content Introduction : How will you introduce and teach the concept, process, or

c. Elaboration / Guided Practice : Students need to practice what they have learned under the direct

supervision of the teacher. What activities or discussions will be used to enable students to apply,

extend or elaborate upon targeted objectives within new situations?

d. Exploration / Activity : Identify activities you will use to foster students’ exploration, create

concrete experiences, and engage students in hands-on learning. If there is a project, worksheet,

group work, etc. to do, show or model for them what you expect. What strategies will you use to

clarify concepts, correct misconceptions, and introduce further material, connections or activities?

e. Evaluation / Assessment : Check for understanding. How will you assess student learning? What

objective measures and other assessment procedures will be employed to check for student

understanding…throughout the lesson?

 What measures will be used during the lesson?

 What measures will be used following the lesson?

 When and how will you measure what the students retained from the lesson and their ability to

apply the concept(s) taught?

Assessment may be informal/formative/for learning or formal/summative/of learning. Both types

of assessment may take place during one lesson. List what questions and when you will ask them

to insure understanding. These questions should include varying levels of thinking from recall, to

application, to synthesis and connections directly the content, and to life situations situation, and

possibly new content and/or curriculum. Refer to Bloom’s Taxonomy for ideas.

VIII. Closure: is the act of reviewing and clarifying the key points of a lesson, tying them together into a

coherent whole, and ensuring their utility in application by securing them in the student's conceptual

network.

How will you bring the lesson to an end? What “culminating” activities will you use? Will you

summarize, introduce the next concept, engage students in a focused group activity, and/or have

students make connections to prior knowledge?

IX. Strategies for learning and management : What will be done to keep all students engaged and to

maintain good classroom management? Ex. Proximity, Calling on all students, etc.

X. Differentiated Instruction : Identify specific teaching strategies and tactics that will be used to

adapt/modify curriculum and instruction during the lesson, in order to address the diverse learning needs

of all students in the classroom.

XI. Reflection : Answer the following questions about your lesson, instructional approach, and classroom

management strategies:

1. What went well?
