Note: Degree of mastery does
not need to be a percentage.)

Rationale
Address the following I am teaching this lesson because it is important for students to differentiate between the
questions: different times of the day, morning, noon, and night.
Why are you teaching this
objective? They can do this by reflecting at what time of the day they do certain activities.
Where does this lesson fit
within a larger plan?
Why are you teaching it
this way?
Why is it important for
students to learn this
concept?

Evaluation Plan- How will

mastered your objectives? Formative: Students are to tape a picture of an activity being done either in the morning,
afternoon, or night.
Address the following:

What misconceptions
might students have about
this content? Student misconceptions consist of doing the same activity more than once in the day. I
think this is the biggest misconception because this can either be something like
brushing teeth.

What will you as the

teacher do?
What will the students do?
What student data will be
collected during each
phase?
What are other adults in
the room doing? How are
they supporting students
learning?
What model of co-teaching
are you using?
Add in other examples that students come up with.
Send students back to seats and distribute pictures of activities to
each student. Have students write their name on the back of the
picture.
Explain to students that I already distributed individual pictures
under their desks.
Show students the three different charts they will need to put their
picture on

Call students by tables

Once all students have put their pictures up have them discuss in
table groups if all pictures are placed under the correct chart.

As a class review what pictures are in the wrong chart, what pictures
can be on more than one chart, and any misconceptions. (cultural
difference at home)

30mins Give students feedback individually on back of pictures (afterwards)

Give students feedback while reviewing as a class

Wrap up by reviewing the three different times of the day: Morning,

noon, and night!

What will you do if a student struggles with the content?

If a student struggles with the content they can be pulled to the side to
complete the worksheet the following day one-on-one. This way any
misunderstanding can be explained and the student can do a review before.

I can have students take sticky note to add on the chart their own activity they
do either in the morning, noon, or night.
How will you differentiate instruction for students who need additional
language support?
Students needing extra language support can just use visual cues and if they
want to add a sticky note the student can draw a picture of the activity
instead.
Due to behavioral management, one student cannot sit on the carpet and is partnered up
with a teacher during carpet time.
