The student’s will review what they have learned about plants so far which will include watching a previously
viewed BrainPop Jr video.

Describe the purpose of the SRT activity (check all that apply):
☒ Assess prior knowledge ☐ Anticipatory set (Create interest in a topic) ☐ To illuminate common
misconceptions ☒ Formative assessment of content knowledge (for purpose of differentiation and
mastery for ALL students) ☒ Summative assessment of content knowledge ☒ Test preparation
☐ Survey/Poll ☐ Discussion starter ☐ “Homework” collection ☐ Other (please explain):

Briefly describe what will happen DURING the SRT activity: The students will need a phone, iPad, or
computer to participate in this activity. The teacher will read the question out loud for the students and

7. Which part of the plant gets the water from the soil?
8. Can you eat seeds?
9. What part of the plant collects the sunlight?
10. What part of the plant holds the seeds?

Right/Wrong answers: Will there be right/wrong answers to these questions?

☒ Yes ☐ No
☐ Mixed (Some will have correct answers, other will not.)
Immediate corrective feedback: Will you pre-select correct answers to some of all of the questions and
display correct response to the class after the SRT activity?
☒ Yes
☐ No
Why or why not? Yes because I want my students to have the correct information

Describe what will happen AFTER the SRT activity

The quiz will be the end of the lesson. After everyone is finished with the quiz the teacher will ask if anyone
has any questions about what they did today and clear up any misconceptions there may be.
How will the data be used? The data from the activity will be examined to see if the lesson may need to be
adjusted. If it is just a couple students that are having trouble the teacher will be able to identify it and work
more with those particular students.

Describe your personal learning goal for this activity.

My goal for this activity is to get more engagement from all students and give the shyer students a chance to
show what they know without having to vocalize it. This lesson was designed to give students a new and fun
way to review what they have been taught previously and to prepare them for an up coming summative test.
Reflective Practice:
The activity was designed to help reinforce the student’s knowledge about the parts of the plants. Since I
planned on using Kahoot as a review for an upcoming test I think the best way to extend the lesson would be
to have the students submit question rather than base the questions off of the students work.
