Module 5 Unit 4 Activity 2




Module 5 Unit 4 Activity 3
Analia Kim
Write Another Lesson Plan

Course: Language Arts

Grade Level: 2nd Grade

Diversity of students for which differentiation is needed: 

·         Varied academic, reading, and developmental levels
·         English Language Learners
·         Students with disabilities either a physical or learning disability

Standard being addressed: Florida Standard Code: LAFS.1.L.1.2

Demonstrate command of the conventions of standard English capitalization, punctuation, and spelling when writing.

Measurable performance objective: Students will be able to define a sentence and select the appropriate punctuation for different types of sentences.

Lesson Objective:
  • Students will be able to recognize the ending punctuations including a period, question mark and exclamation mark.
  • Students will be able to identify and list the four different types of sentences including declarative, interrogative, imperative and exclamatory.
Lesson Plan: The teacher first thoroughly explains what a period, question mark, and exclamation mark is. After the students are familiar then the teacher explains the four types of sentences and what they are used for. The teacher will then give the students some examples and then they will read a few sentences and find the end mark together with the young learners. Then the teacher would give the students a worksheet of sentences with no punctuation and get them to write what type of sentences they are based upon their understanding of what was just taught to them.
   
Lesson: 25-30 minutes

Description
Time
Materials

Do Now/ Warm-Up

The teacher will have a list of things that the student will have to do. Such as: Stand Up. Write your name on the top right corner. Draw a circle on your paper… etc.

At the end of the activity the teacher will ask the students if they know what all of these sentences have in common.

Objective: Make students follow a command so they can begin to understand what an imperative sentence is.

Formative Assessment:
The teacher can directly ask a student if they can tell the rest of the class what the sentences have in common (Higher order Bloom’s question).

Differentiation: The teacher can ask lower order questions to lower level students regarding this activity such as: Are these sentences asking us something? Are they telling us what to do?

Lesson















(I Do)

The teacher will explain what a sentence is. Then he/she will explain that the activity we just did was an example of imperative sentences.  

Next the teacher will explain that there are four different types of sentences including declarative, interrogative, imperative and exclamatory and ending punctuations that go with each type of sentence.


Then the teacher will have an animated Prezi ready to demonstrate examples of the sentences. She/he needs to make sure that the ending punctuation is explained with each sentence as some may vary such as the imperative may sometimes end in a period, or an exclamation mark.


Objective: Demonstrate the different examples and corresponding punctuations.
Formative Assessment:
The teacher can ask for thumbs up, neutral, or down depending on if they feel like they understood the lesson so far.

Differentiation:
The teacher will scaffold the lesson so each step is learned. They will start with explaining the types of sentences first and only practice identifying the 4 sentences. Then she/he will add punctuation explanations so the lesson can be learned step by step.

Guided Practice
(We Do)

The teacher will have a Prezi/ PowerPoint with sentences that have a variety of sentences. The students will first have to put an ending mark to each sentence. 

Afterwards the students will have to write what type of sentence this was.

Objective: This exercise will prepare them for the activity that they have to do alone on a worksheet that the teacher will provide.

Differentiation: The teacher can call on lower level students for the first part of the exercises as they only have to identify if the ending punctuation is a period, question mark, and exclamation mark. For students who are more comfortable with the exercise at this point, the teacher can ask them to identify the type of sentences they are.

Independent Practice (You Do)

The teacher gives them a worksheet with different sentences where they will have to write down the ending punctuation and identify the type of sentence it is.

Objective: Students will be able to identify the four different types of sentences and add the correct ending punctuation to each sentence.

Differentiation: For higher levels students, they can be given a challenge and ask them to add their own sentences in addition to the ones in the worksheet.

Formative Assessment: Give the students homework to correct the next day and see if they really understood the lesson.
