Lesson Plan 

Candidate’s Name: Earl Holder

Grade Level: 5th Grade

Title of the lesson: Ideas for laws

Length of the lesson: 30 minutes

Central focus of the lesson (The central focus should align with the CCSS/content standards and support students to develop an essential literacy strategy and requisite skills for comprehending or composing texts in meaningful contexts) Key Questions: -What do you want students to learn? How to express their ideas in the kinds of laws they want to see put into effect -What are the important understandings and core concepts you want students to develop? I want them to develop their reading/writing skills and creativity even more Key questions: What do students know? They know what laws are What can they do?  Come up with ideas on laws they'd like to see go into effect What do you know about your students’ everyday experiences, cultural backgrounds and practices, and interests? Many of them come from a hispanic and african american backgrounds

Common Core State Standards (List the number and text of the standard. If only a portion of a standard is being addressed, then only list the relevant part[s].) Common Core Learning Standards for ELA and Literacy) CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.1.2 Retell stories, including key details, and demonstrate understanding of their central message or lesson. CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.L.1.4.A Use sentence-level context as a clue to the meaning of a word or phrase.

Support literacy development through language (academic language) Identify one language function (i.e. analyze, argue, categorize, compare/contrast, describe, explain, interpret, predict, question, retell, summarize or another one appropriate for your learning segment) Identify a key learning task from your plans that provide students opportunities to practice using the language function. Describe language demands (written or oral) students need to understand and/or use The students reading and pronunciation level is average Their abilities to express their ideas on paper were beyond exceptional A key learning task would be for the student to comprehend what he or she reading/writing To be creative and cognizant in the kind of laws they want to see put into effect

Learning objectives 1. Making sure student understands how to write sentences correctly 2. Making sure the students punctuation is good 3. Making sure student can overcome any difficulties expressing themselves orally and on paper

Instructional procedure: Instructional strategies and learning tasks (including what you and the students will be doing) that support diverse student needs. Your design should be based on the following: Having student read over their 1st drafts to correct their mistakes Have student carefully sound out the words they are having difficulty with Help the student sound out their mistakes Have students read over their 2nd drafts to make sure it's perfect

Instructional resources and materials used to engage students in learning. No instructional resources, just pure writing exercises concerning law ideas

Reflection Did your instruction support learning for the whole class and the students who need great support or challenge? yes What changes would you make to support better student learning of the central focus?Show examples of laws that aren't too complicated for students to read just to give them more of a creative direction on what to do  Why do you think these changes would improve student learning? Support your explanation from evidence of research and/or theory. From students being shown examples of already written laws, it can spark ideas of their own that they may not have previously had prior to being shown written law samples
