Rubrics for grading
For this assignment, I will be awarding 5 out of 10 points for working hard and getting all the
nucleotides taped on to the strand. I will be awarding 1 point for each of the A, T, C, and G nucleotides
correctly, and an extra point for figuring out which protein the gene codes for.
Anticipated misconceptions/ alternative conceptions:
One of the possible misconceptions about proteins is that we dont make protein in our bodies, and thus
we have to ingest protein.
Accommodations/modifications of activity:
I will be purposefully matching the kids who really struggle in the class with some of the more advanced
kids. The fact that they will both have fairly defined roles in the project will help them to teach and learn from
one another. They will likely be checking each others work to make sure the other person is picking out the
correct nucleotide. If there is a grouping of kids that really struggles in the class, then I would likely label each
nucleotide for them so that all they would have to do is correctly match up the correct nucleotides.

As a novice teacher, you will likely write and use lesson plans (LP) on a regular basis. You may even be
required to show your LPs to your supervisors. Eventually, you will have the lesson plans in your head or will
rely on abbreviated notes. As an ID Methods student, it is important to demonstrate (through LPs) that you
know what preparation is required as you design/ plan activities and assessment tools for your students. This
allows me to assess all of you in a consistent and fair manner.
Lesson plan formats vary greatly. I am most interested in how you plan to teach inquiry-based lessons. How
will you help students take ownership of the content and participate in their own learning? The 5E Model is one
format to help you teach inquiry lessons. Many students and new teachers find the 5E format easy to use.
Therefore, I would like you to use this framework for all lesson plans in this course. (See template on previous
page). Remember to think about student activity as being separate from teacher activity, and be explicit in
your LP so I know that you are aware of the differences.
I recognize that with each LP you will become more skilled and confident addressing each component. For
example, your first LP is due before we will have formally discussed Assessments in class. Thats okay. I want
you to consider each section, so I can provide constructive feedback.
You can REDO any lesson plan until the next lesson plan is due.
You can include your individual lesson plans in your final unit, if it makes sense to you and your unit plan
partner. You can write new lesson plans for your unit plan, if that makes more sense. Its up to you.
