Standards​: Grade 5.

Common Core requirements fulfilled:

1. English Language Arts Standard: Integration of Knowledge and Ideas

(CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.5.7), which states the students will, “Draw on
information from multiple print or digital sources, demonstrating the ability to
locate an answer to a question quickly or to solve a problem efficiently.”

3. Learning Style:

visual - organize approach to task (books, video, demonstrate)

•​1. Standards: ​ 1 or 2 Common Core Standards (CCSD/Nevada). Write an observable objective for each
One Multicultural goal and observable objective -- A-V-K Learning styles implemented
Gardner’s 8 Intelligences implemented (linguistic, logical/mathematical and one or two others)
2. Materials/Equipment: Provide ​all​ materials required for this lesson: handouts,
PowerPoint's, texts, video/links, evaluation instruments, and other resources need with the lesson plan.
3. Instruction Procedures: ​Explain all T​eacher Procedures - ​an interest hook” to catch students’
attention, teaching strategies, all questions and discussions, group/class activities. Also explain what
Students ​will​ ​do to participate in the lesson and achieve the lesson’s objectives. No large blocks of text.
Use small paragraphs with numbers or bullets that explain: ​Teacher ---Students----Teacher---Students---
5. Closure: ​Plan an ending for the lesson so students and review and demonstrate what Shat they
learned.

•​6.Assessment: ​assessing student learning demonstrates the effectiveness of a lesson. Evaluation

focuses on the lesson standards/ observable objectives for the subject and the multicultural objectives.
Create a assessment rubric that measures the lesson objectives and the related student activities.
7. References: ​Cite all sources used to plan, write and present this lesson including all books, literature,
software, videotapes, websites, etc.

Standards:

Select only 1-2 CCSD or Common Core Standards for the subject and concepts) taught in your
lesson plan. See link provided in the multicultural lesson modules
• Write an observable objective for each of the standards to explain the lesson’s purpose - the
skills,
knowledge, concepts, critical thinking and etc. taught.
• To write “observable objectives,” use Bloom’s Taxonomy and the action verbs provide for
each level
of the taxonomy. (See the link provided in the multicultural lesson module. Use the following
format for writing observable objectives:
• Students will be able to….” (SWBAT) + a verb from Bloom & the concept, skill, knowledge
taught .
See examples below:
• SWBAT to name the main characters in Shakespeare's Macbeth
•​SWBAT to compare and contrast the cloud formations of a rain storm and of a tornado (analysis level)

•​SWBAT to prioritize the major causes of the Civil War (evaluation level)

•​A Multicultural Goal: ​ Select one multicultural goal for your lesson plan from the list found in the
Manning Chapter 1 Study Guide.

•​Then using Bloom’s Taxonomy, write observable multicultural objectives that meets the
multicultural information and skills the students will learn from the lesson.

•​For example, using the multicultural goal: “Develop multiple historical perspectives,” an
observable multicultural objective could read:

l​SWBAT + list ​(a observable Bloom verb) ​+ ​(subject content) ​ the views/positions of the Whigs and the
Tories during the Revolutionary War.

Materials:
•​List all the materials and resources needed for the lesson.

•​With the Multicultural Lesson Plan​ ​submit​ all handouts, PowerPoint, text materials, resources,
assessment instruments, links to video and internet.
•​Scan materials used in the lesson and put in the Dropbox with the Multicultural Lesson Plan

Procedures:

•​This section of the lesson plan explains the teaching and learning process for a 2 hour lesson.

•​With ​detail and explanation ​provide a lesson plan for actively teaching the lesson from beginning to
end. Explain how and what the teacher will do to teach the subject concepts, the activities students
participate in to learn the subject and multicultural lesson objectives. Provide explanations an
administrator could use to assess your effectiveness as a multicultural educator. Remember, to actively
teach the subject and the multicultural observable objectives.

•​1. Plan an introduction and interest hook to capture the students attention. ​NO Holiday Lesson Plans.

•​2. Explain all teaching strategies, activities; provide discussion questions for the lesson.

•​3. Remember this is a detailed lesson plan so be very specific, providing descriptions and explanations
of the teaching procedures and the students involved in learning.

a. Intermix explanations of the teaching with student activities/learning throughout the procedures
section of the lesson. ​Teacher…Students….Teacher….Students ​etc. and use numbers, letters, bullets
and paragraphs to separate the sections of the lesson.

b. Also include A-V-K learning and Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences to address the varied student needs.

4. ​REMEMBER to plan teaching and learning activities for the multicultural objective.

Conclusion:

•​Each lesson needs closure - an ending to the lesson that allows ​the students ​to briefly review and
demonstrate their learning

•​Students do the closure, guided by the teacher

•​Closure demonstrates the observable objectives for both the subject/concepts taught and the
multicultural objective.

Assessment:

•​Assessment demonstrates what the students have learned and the effectiveness of a lesson.

•​Assessment focuses on the lesson's observable objectives, both subject and multicultural observable
objectives.

•​Have the subject observable objectives been met? How did the students demonstrate their learning
and to what level of learning?
•​Has the multicultural objective been met and how have the students demonstrated their learning of
this objective?

–​Create an assessment rubric focusing on the observable objectives for the subject taught and the
multicultural skills, knowledge etc. taught. The rubric can include varied levels that demonstrate
student learning.

–​Rubrics work best when the assessment criteria matches the observable objectives with the
corresponding student learning activities.

–​Include criteria for the multicultural observable objective with the student learning activities too.

–​The Rubric can assess the levels of achievement with a points system to show quality/quantity or in
more general ways, for example, using general terms like- Excellent, Satisfactory, Needs
Improvement.
