Flipped Lesson Planning Guide

STEP 1: What is your lesson objective? Remember, this is a specific skill or concept that you want to teach your students via video before class.

Students will be able to cite text evidence to support a claim.

STEP 2: How are you going to create the lesson?Do you intend to video yourself talking, use a tablet app to explain the concept, curate the content, or use a simple voiceover with visuals?

I will curate an educational videoexplaining the idea of citing text evidence to support a claim. https://learnzillion.com/lessons/669

At the conclusion of the video, the student will complete a Google form proving they watched a video, and providing an assessment of their understanding of the lesson. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1ACZ7IsOdLpQUoS-UwfPXPCdrd-ZJQaFZYlLCNfXZZl8/viewform?usp=send_form

STEP 3: What in-class activities are you planning to engage the students in higher level thinking activities?What are the activities that will engage the students in higher level thinking such as applying, analyzing, evaluating, and creating?

Activity DescriptionType of ActivityBlooms Taxonomy

1. In class, students will analyze a new text (Walking On the Boundaries of Change by Sara Holbrook.) I will ask each student to write a sentence claiming what the main idea of the poem is, and supporting that claim with evidence from the text. This activity will be supported with modeling and sentence frames. I will be available to do remedial work with individual students who showed a lacking understanding of the flipped lesson (as seen through their google-form responses). Reading and writingApplying

2. As students finish, I will form small groups and have students share their work, comparing their text evidence with one another. Together, they will create a new claim about the main idea of the poem, this time with 3 or more pieces of text evidence. Discussing and writingEvaluating, Analyzing, Applying

3. Next, students will move onto And Still I Rise by Maya Angelou for individual practice. Students will do a close reading of the poem and then view the video of Dr. Angelou reading her poem aloud (allowing for multiple means of representation of the text for different learners.) Then, students will demonstrate their ability to cite evidence to support a claim by arguing whether And Still I Rise is a pessimistic or optimistic poem.
