Formative How are you assessing student’s formative learning during this lesson?
Assessment:
Civil Rights Bingo! Match the terms with definitions (given by instructor). For example, when I read out “Who was
the most renowned minister who led the civil rights movement in the 1950’s until his assasination in 1968?” If
students have MLK Jr. on their bingo sheet they will place a token on it.

INSTRUCTIONAL PLAN
How are you inviting students to learn? How are you moving them through the lesson and engage them in the activities? How are
you bringing the lesson to a close? Provide basic “step-by-step” directions and prompts for implementing these areas of the lesson.
A substitute teacher should be able to pick up your lesson plan and say and do everything you would have if you were there. Please
be explicit and specific.

that they feel correlate and connect with “CIVIL RIGHTS” (be prepared to facilitate discussion if
not many shout words).
10 minutes On their own Once all the words have been written on the board, have students free write in their journals about
what they feel civil rights are and what they know about civil rights, how it benefits them based
on the words of the board.

At random instructor will call out either definitions or terms and students will place token if they
have the correlating bingo square to the one called out.

5 minutes Exit ticket! In order to leave students will each have to say one thing aloud about what they learned during
the class today (can be anything), Instruct other students not to say anything or else they will have
to stay after class.
