Introduction/Activating/Launch Strategies:
The teacher will start off by asking the students what they know about the ear
 The teacher will then explain that today we will be learning about the different parts
that make up the ear
We will gather on the carpet, where the teacher will read the book Ears are For
Hearing by Paul Showers
o This book discusses the different parts of the ear and how they are used

Development/Teaching Approaches
The students will then go back to their seats and we will discuss the book
The teacher will then go through each part of the ear on a PowerPoint
The teacher will have a fill in the blank notes sheet for the students to fill out as the
teacher is going through the PowerPoint
The PowerPoint will include picture of the different part of the ear and information on
each part of the ear
The teacher will also have them touch their outer ear when we talk about it, since it is
the only part of the ear they can see

Closure/Summarizing Strategies:
We will summarize what we learned today
The students will each fill out the worksheet with the fill in the blank
The students will ask me any questions that they have
The teacher will tell them that tomorrow we will be discussing what each part of the
ear does.

Accommodations/Differentiation:
The teacher will provide the students with fill in the blank notes sheets to use to take
notes throughout the lesson
The teacher will also include a visual of each part of the ear in the PowerPoint so that
the students do not only hear me explaining the parts of the ear, but they also see them
The image on the worksheet will be big so that it is easy to read
The words and images on the PowerPoint will be large so that all my students will be
able to see them
