Lesson Plan : Character Counts
Teacher Name: | Ms. Escriba |
Grade: | Grade 7-8 |
Subject: | Language Arts |
Topic: | Courtesy |
Content: | courtesy, behaviors, appropriate, inappropriate, and interrupt. |
Goals: | Students will understand the importance of courtesy in school. Students will be more courteous with others. |
Objectives: | Students will identify appropriate and inappropriate behaviors. Students will write the answers on the worksheet during lecture. Students will practice/demonstrate courtesy with their partner. |
Materials: | Overhead, lesson, worksheet, and pen/pencil. |
Introduction: | Point out the behaviors we use in the classroom. Identify which are appropriate and which are inappropriate behaviors. Compare and contrast those behaviors. |
Development: | Role play with a volunteer. Compare and contrast the two scenarios. |
Practice: | Students will choose a partner and practice being courteous with others. They are to use "please" and "thank you" as well as make eye contact, shake hands, and smile when speaking to their partner. |
Accommodations: | I will restate what the instructions are and have them say them back to me. If any of them feel insecure, I will partner up with them for the activity. |
Checking For Understanding: | I will walk around as students are working on the independent practice. The worksheet will show me the areas students understood and those that they did not. |
Closure: | Have 3-5 volunteers to role play in front of the classs what they have practiced with their partner. If we are running out of time, I will randomly call on students to tell the class what they have learned from today's lesson. |
Evaluation: | I have seen a difference in the students when I put time into writing out the lesson plan. Lesson planning isn't as difficult anymore and it doesn't take as long anymore. |
Teacher Reflections: | Wow! The lesson went well. One thing tha worked well was the role playing activity. Students seemed to enjoy the activity as well. Next time, I would probably have them partner up with someone in their group because that will save us some time. |
