Section 2: Instructional Planning

Anticipatory Set

This lesson is valuable to students lives as it provides opportunities to learn about practices, holidays, and traditions related to other people and cultures. Students learn how the contributions of various cultural groups have helped shape the history of the community and their world and will be able to elicit visual information through the medium of a calendar through the addition of details and artwork. These are practices and concepts students will encounter in and out of academic environments. These concepts will assist students when understanding different cultures and people, as well as support students when making connections with people and events in the global climate.

Time Needed

Multiple Means of Representation I will use a KWL Anchor Chart, and a KWL graphic organizer to teach students how to

read a calendar, and to compare what students know to what they need to learn related to this application.

I will model one example on the Anchor Chart, and work with students in collaboration to complete the Anchor Chart.

Students will also be able to view physical examples of various calendars brought into the classroom for this purpose.

Students will complete a KWL graphic organizer using the collaborative technique of working in small groups.

Students will be provided with Chromebooks when using technology to help locate and identify information related to the topic.

I will use a video (Holidays All Around the World) about International Holidays and Events for students to view to help with comprehension. See link in references.

I will use SIOP principles and GLAD strategies to assist students using visuals (assorted calendars), gestures, modeling, and the incorporations of hands-on applications.

Differentiation: English language learners (ELL): ELL students will be given lists of academic

vocabulary, and partially filled in KWL Chart graphic organizer worksheets. Visuals and gestures will be incorporated along with various SIOP principles and GLAD strategies to support ELL instruction. Extra time will be permitted when finishing tasks, assignments, and assessments.

Students with special needs: Students with exceptionalities will be given lists of academic vocabulary, partially filled in KWL Chart graphic organizer worksheets, and

given preferential seating close to the teacher for better viewing. Allowances for extra breaks related to medical issues, impairments, and disabilities will be provided. Visuals and various other GLAD/SIOP principles should be incorporated to help with comprehension and focus. Extra time will be permitted when finishing tasks, assignments, and assessments.

Students with gifted abilities: Students who are identified as highly capable will be asked to add more elements to their calendar, such as the identification of 5 more world holidays/events, adding more details to the artwork, and provided with more advanced assessments and assignments.

Multiple Means of Engagement

Students will collaborate with the teacher in a large group activity when filling out the KWL Poster Anchor Chart.

The teacher will model one strategy related to what they know about calendars. For instance, the teacher might write: I know that calendars include the months of the year.

Questions posed might include: “Where could I look to find information about international holidays? “What types of information should I include on a calendar?”, “Where should I include illustrations on a calendar?”, “Name one holiday or tradition your family celebrates.” For struggling learners other DOK Questions might include: “Is Thanksgiving a holiday?”, What does the word tradition mean? For students at higher reading Tier levels questions might include: Name three holidays that your family celebrates. “What is your favorite part about holidays?” “Who determines what, when, and where the holidays/events are observed?

Students will work will work in small groups of three to fill out their KWL worksheet. Students will have opportunities to collaborate in small groups to view and discuss

aspects related to various types of calendars. Assorted calendars will be available for them to view during this activity.

Students will watch a video about international holidays prior to creating their own individual calendar.

Students will work in pairs to gather information from the internet via the use of Chromebooks to look up world holidays, events, festivals, and other types of international celebrations.

Students will have opportunities to create artwork related to this experience to decorate the months of their calendars and their calendar covers.

Differentiation: English language learners (ELL): ELL’s will be accommodated by placing students at

higher reading tier levels next to students who require more support. SIOP principles and GLAD strategies will be incorporated during instruction. Students have opportunities to work in small groups and pairs via the use of purposeful grouping techniques to place students with higher reading levels next to students who require more support. ELL students will be provided with lists of academic vocabulary, and partially filled in KWL worksheets related to this activity.

Students with special needs: Students with exceptionalities will be accommodated via the use of purposeful grouping techniques, the incorporation of GLAD strategies and SIOP principles, lists of academic vocabulary, and partially completed KWL worksheets.

More time will be permitted for students on IEP’s and 504 plans to finish assignments and other work-related tasks. Allowances for extra break times should also be permitted. Preferential seating should be arranged during instruction so students are better able to view the teacher and examples.

Students with gifted abilities: Students who are highly capable should be encouraged to add more elements and details to their calendar. For example, students who might finish early could be asked to look up 5-10 more international events or holidays on the Chromebook to add to their calendar. Students might also be encouraged to add additional elements to their artwork.

Early finishers: Early finishers could also add additional elements to their calendar. Students could be asked to include 5 more international events to their calendars, add more graphics to their calendars, or illustrate special holidays on the pages of their calendar.

Multiple Means of ExpressionSummative Assessment: Students will demonstrate their knowledge and understanding through the completion of their:

International Events and Holidays Calendar Save the Date! Assessment and Rubric.

Formative Assessment: Students will demonstrate their knowledge related to this activity through the formative assessments of the:

KWL worksheet Save the Date! Exit Slip . Save the Date Rubric Thumbs-up/middle/down strategy related to understanding Small-group collaboration/discussion Think-Pair-Share collaboration-discussions

Differentiation: English language learners (ELL): Will be provided with lists of Academic Vocabulary,

given preferential seating, SIOP Principles/GLAD Strategies will be incorporated, along with word banks that will be supplied related to the assessment. Extra time will be permitted when finishing the assessment. ELL students will also be given a differentiated assessment and rubric.

Students with special needs: Students with exceptionalities will be provided with lists of Academic Vocabulary, given preferential seating, SIOP Principles/GLAD Strategies will be incorporated, along with partially filled in graphic organizers and word banks. Extra time will be permitted when finishing the assessment. Students on 504 Plans and those with IEP’s will be provided with a differentiated assessment and rubric.

Students with gifted abilities: Students will be given assessments with extended questions, which will ask them to elaborate by writing a paragraph related to this experience.

holidays or events via the use of Chromebooks and the internet. Students will be asked to add these elements to their calendars and illustrate these events on the corresponding days.

Extension Activity and/or HomeworkStudents have been provided with a Vocabulary Matching worksheet as a homework activity. Students are supplied with lists of academic vocabulary used within the lesson plan, and work to match the correct definitions. This practice helps support the learning target as students have further opportunities to practice questions related to the topic, and this activity also promotes understanding of key words and concepts. Homework, Exits Slips, and other connected activities are attached at the end of this document.

Time Needed

Rationale/Reflection

Students will participate via Collaborative Learning strategies as they communicate and collaborate with the teacher in large and small groups when working to fill in the KWL Anchor chart poster.

Students will have opportunities to use the Think-Pair-Share strategy when they are purposely grouped into pairs when filling in their KWL Chart worksheet and when using the Chromebooks to gather information for their calendars. Students will have opportunities to discuss ideas, and hear the perspectives and thoughts of their peers.

Students will participate in Interactive Instruction when they gather information from the internet, apply these ideas to their calendars, and when designing and illustrating their calendars. These applications reiterate the learning targets of understanding contributions made by different cultural groups and the addition of artwork and details related to aesthetic purposes.

Rationale



When reflecting on my instructional choices, I attempted to create a lesson plan that

would incorporate the learning targets, and include a fun activity that would provide students

with multiple opportunities to design and illustrate their learning. I thought a calendar was a

great idea, as holidays and events could be included, and drawings could be added to the cover

and to each month contained within. I also thought bringing in different types of calendars for

students to see and touch would serve great visual and manipulative purposes.

The teacher could begin this portion of the lesson by holding up a calendar and asking

questions related to the topic. She could also pass out various calendars to different small groups

of students, and the teacher might ask each group to identify one thing they notice about that

specific calendar. I attempted to create purposeful groupings, which accommodated students at

different reading Tier levels, and students who needed more support related to reading.

The addition of locating information related to the internet regarding international

holidays and events seemed logical, and pairing students related to this activity not only works to

support struggling learners but allows students to use communicative and collaborative strategies

when choosing which types of elements to add to their calendar. Using an Anchor Chart in the

KWL format seemed reasonable, as the teacher can collaborate with the students related to what

they already know about calendars, and help students focus on what types of information they

needed to gather. The provision of written vocabulary lists, opportunities for breaks, and the

inclusion of SIOP principles also seemed like good strategies to include, as the class profile

contained students at all levels who would benefit from these practices.



The Holidays All Around the World video also appears to make a nice addition, as

students get another opportunity to see pictures and learn about practices related to other cultures

and people. The visual and musical elements of this video also connect with artistic practices, as

students are exposed to various cultural and social elements. The inclusion of the exit slip,

homework, and the Save the Date! assessment all work together to promote understanding of the

learning target related to this lesson. Differentiated assessments and exit slips are provided. I

included lists of academic vocabulary in all the assessments, so all students have the same

exposure to the word list.

I tried to make the written assessment specific, and I thought the inclusion of the

vocabulary words in this document itself would provide students with the information they

needed to create a sentence. I included a rubric, which should be given to students at the

beginning of the lesson, so they are fully aware of the expectations. I wanted to create authentic

assessments, that is why I included the calendar assignment within the rubric. It seemed that as

this was the main project students were working on related to the standards and objectives, that

the provision of this element was necessary.
