Universal Design for Learning (UDL):

This activity can support all students by allowing them to work together. This activity could pair students in
different ways with varying combinations of ability levels. This can be helpful in different ways depending on
how the activity goes. The use of laptops, tablets, or personal devices can help students with physical
disabilities to answer the questions in a way that might be more comfortable to them. They would be free to
use the device that is easiest for them. This activity delivers content in a way that might be more engaging for
students who struggle to keep prolonged attention during activities.
Describe the instructional activities that will occur PRIOR to the SRT activity and how you will introduce
the SRT activity.
Important vocabulary that is pertinent to the lesson will be brought up and discussed as a way to capture
student’s attention. This will come across as a relaxed discussion. Then students will be broken into pairs
randomly, unless specific assignments are necessary.

 Student Response and Assessment Tools
☒ 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:

Students will have access to a class laptop cart, a class iPad cart, or their own devices. They will work
collaboratively in pairs to attempt to answer the list of questions. This will be paced by the teacher and the
entire class will continue to engage in discussion in between the questions to make sure that the questions
and answers are understood. This will have the lesson come across as more of a discovery. The teacher will
allow the students to talk in their pairs while they work to answer the question being posed. Once everyone
has answered the question, with a somewhat loose time limit to keep the class moving, but to allow
conversation, the teacher will prompt discussion. It will be taken as far and in to depth as is necessary based
on the class-wide response. This activity could last potentially up to an hour or so.
Type of questions/prompts used in this activity (check all that apply):
☒ Multiple choice ☐ Multiple select ☒ True/False ☐ Yes/No
☐ Short open-ended response or fill-in the blank ☐ Longer open-ended response

If you are unable to provide a working sample of your questions, please list them below (8-10):
Sample on Weebly, link provided above
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?
Because as the questions are answered, students will be having an open discussion with the teacher and each
other. Therefore, the correct answer will be divulged and discussed.
Describe what will happen AFTER the SRT activity?
After the activity is completed, the teacher will ask the students for some feedback about how the activity
made them feel and if they understand everything they discussed. The class could then transition into
another related activity or take a break.
How will the data be used?
The pairs of students will be recorded as well as the answers that they provided during the course of the
activity. The teacher will use this data to compare to a post-test like evaluation that might look fairly similarly.
The class can then observe how their knowledge of this topic has grown once all of that data has been
collected at the end of the unit. If there are some students that are struggling with the content, adjustments
and further discussions can be had to make sure they do not fall behind and that they have the support that
they need.
Describe your personal learning goal for this activity.
My goal for this activity is to see how this type pf activity will sit in the classroom. I want to see if this is
something that is engaging for my students and to see if it is something that they will enjoy. I hope that an
activity like this will help my students to realize that it is okay to ask for help and that it will help build their
collaborative and communication skills.
Reflective Practice:

 Student Response and Assessment Tools
I feel that this activity could help students to feel a sense of discovery and curiosity towards the topic we are
discussing. To take this lesson further I would like to branch off and create related activities to build on this
one. I am curious about the idea of fill in the blank or short answer questions.
