ASSESSMENT
Pre-Assessment: Describe the instrument or process you will use to measure students level
of understanding toward the learning objective(s) prior to teaching the lesson.

I will ask the students to share what they already know about story elements (setting, theme,
characters, climax, problem, etc.) each element of a story is before they read the short story
APPENDIX: Include a blank copy of the lesson pre-assessment. (if applicable)

Is your pre-assessment included at the end of this lesson plan?

Describe the timeline as to when you plan to administer the pre-assessment?

(Recommended timeline is a minimum of two days prior to teaching your lesson).

I will ask the students these questions before the reading of the story. This will tell me what
element to focus on more during the lesson.
Create and insert a table/chart/graph that shows the pre-assessment data results. (if
applicable)

Insert an image of your table/chart/graph here.

Describe how the results of the pre-assessment (what the students have demonstrated they
know) will be used to design the lesson objectives, instruction, and post-assessment.
Post-Assessment: APPENDIX: Include a blank copy of the lesson post-assessment you will
use to measure students level of understanding toward the learning objectives after teaching
the lesson.

Is your post-assessment included at the end of this lesson plan?

I will ask the students to share what they think the theme is

APPENDIX: Include a copy of a Key/Product (completed by you, the teacher) which provides a
model of the desired outcome.

Is your key included at the end of this lesson plan?

TECHNOLOGY
Describe the instructional and/or assistive technology that you plan to incorporate into the
lesson to enhance instruction and student learning.

I will use the Smartboard to show the short story on.

ACCOMMODATIONS
Describe the accommodations/differentiation/modifications you will use to meet the needs
of all learners and accommodate differences in students learning, culture, language, etc. *
Be sure that these accommodations are based on what you identified/described in your
contextual information (Task I).

All students are on a current IEP plan.

MANAGEMENT
Identify the management and motivational strategies you will use to meet student
behavioral/developmental needs in order to keep students on task and actively engaged
throughout the lesson.

I will redirect as needed.

LESSON IMPLEMENTATION
I Do
(Teacher introduces lesson and models expected outcome of learning objectives)
Describe how you will activate student interest and present the learning objective in an
engaging way (this is your lesson opening).
I will ask the students what their favorite book is. When they have answered I will ask them
what their favorite character is in that book and why? When they have answered, I will tell
them that every story is made up of some key elements like the main character, setting, and
theme. I will go on to say how each of these key elements are critical in a good story. This will
lead to me asking if they know what each element of a story is. After this, I will give each
student a handout with the elements of a story that the students will have to keep and to
look back on while they read the story.
Describe how you will communicate (to students) how the objective is relevant to their lives.
I will tell the students how understanding what they read is very important and how many
different situations this skill is used in life.

Describe what instructional strategies you will use to model/explain/demonstrate the

knowledge and skills required of the objective. (cite theories/theorists)

I will give direct instruction on the different elements of the story.

Describe how you will check for students understanding before moving on to guided
practice.
I will ask the students what each element of a story is. This will give me a better idea if they
can identify each element when reading a story. It also lets me know what to focus on during
the next part of the lesson.
We Do
(Teacher engages students in guided practice)
Describe the learning activities you will use to provide students multiple opportunities to
practice the skills and content needed to meet the learning objective(s).
I will have the short story Amys Halloween on the whiteboard projector. I will have the
students read the story aloud with me. I will have the students after reading the story use the
smartboard to go up and highlight the elements of the story. These are the main character,
setting, and challenge/conflict.
Describe how you will check for students understanding before moving on to independent
practice.
With the students going up and highlighting the different elements of the story, it lets me see
how they do with picking out the different elements. It also allows them to practice this and
get peer help if they are struggling.
You Do
(Students engage in independent practice)
Describe what the students will do to independently practice the knowledge and skills required
by the lesson objectives? (this is the post-assessment)
The students will then get the chance to play a Roll and Retell game to check with
comprehension.
APPENDIX: Include a blank copy of your post-assessment.
Is your BLANK COPY of the post-assessment included at the end of this lesson plan?
Roll & Retell
What is the story mostly about?
Who are the main characters?
Where does the story take place?
When does the story take place?
What happened at the beginning, middle, and end of the story?
What questions do you have about the story?

Lesson Closing
Describe how you will reemphasize the lesson objective and any skills/content that were
taught in an interactive manner (whole/small group, etc.).
At the end of the lesson, I will reiterate that every story has different elements. Being able to
understand these elements not only helps with reading but also helps with writing a good
story. I will emphasis that learning these elements and picking them out can be fun.
ANALYZE
(This portion may only be done after the post assessment is collected/scored.)
Describe the results of the Post-Assessment and be sure to address the following:
Students progress from pre-to-post assessment. (if applicable)
Factors that may have influenced the post assessment results.
How the results of the post assessment highlight what areas of the lesson will require
re-teaching (if any).
If applicable, insert a table/chart/graph (below) that shows the post-assessment data results.
If you used the same document for both the pre and post assessments, it is strongly
encouraged that you show the comparison.

Insert an image of your table/chart/graph here.

and/or assessment of the lesson.
