ED 315 LESSON PLAN Lesson # 2 Format and Cooperating Teacher Feedback Form Name: Fabiola Rodriguez Date: March

14, 2013 Content Area: ELA Grade Level: 8th

Goal(s):
CCSS RL. 8.1.: Cite textual evidence that most strongly supports an analysis of what the text ways explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text. CCSS.ELA-L.8.6 Acquire and use accurately grade-appropriate general academic and domain-specific words and phrases; gather vocabulary knowledge when considering a word or phrase important to comprehension or expression.

Pre-assess:
We will be reviewing chapter 16 from To Kill a Mockingbird. Students will have read the chapter for homework where some of the vocabulary terms come from.

Objective(s):
Students will be able to appropriately label a picture, and fill in the blank using courtroom terms. Students will be able to recognize characteristics of a new character, Mr. Dolphus.

Assessment:

Informal: Students will label a picture and fill in the blank using courtroom terms at the end of the lesson. This will let me and my C. T. know which terms students need to work on. I will be using a chart to record student participation. Note card: students write about new things they learned from our discussion and review of the chapter. Formal: In a later day, my teacher may include some of the vocabulary terms in a quiz. Students may use information from the chapter review in a future paper about theme.

Procedures: Procedures:
Introduction & Engagement (3 min): We are reviewing chapter 16 today. You know, when I read, I always have a movie, or sometimes a comic strip, on my mind about what is happening in the story. So, I was like: I cannot make a movie; it will take me a lot of time. Besides, I would have to look for actors and other stuff. Then, I decided to create a comic strip. Since I am not an artist, I went online and created my own comic on Pixton for Schools. After reviewing the chapter, we will go over some important vocabulary terms that will be helpful, since they will be used in the following chapters. Steps for instruction Engagement, Demonstration, and Participation (20 min): We will go over the comic strip together. As I explain each of the slides, or squares, I will ask questions to students (questions built in the comic). The questions I will be asking are: 1. How old is Scout? 2. What kind of change did Scout notice in Atticus? 3. What stopped the mob and saved Atticus? 4. Why do you think people feel thought when they are in a group? What happens when they are alone? 5. What does Miss Maudie think about all the people passing by? 6. Why did Mr. Dolphus sit with the African Americans? 7. Who brought the children upstairs in the courtroom? After the review, I will ask students to write for three minutes about something new they learned form the chapter.

After the students are done, we will go over the courtroom terms. I will be using pictures from the movie To Kill a Mockingbird to explain each one of them. The vocabulary words are: judge, prosecution, defense, jury, witness, opening statement, closing argument, testify/testimony, swearing, objection, verdict, attorney, subpoena, oath, cross examine, disregard, and deliberate.

I will ask students how they feel with the vocabulary, if they think they do not understand most of them, we will be watching a brain pop video where the terms are defined and explained.

Practice (7 min) I will give each student a picture of a courthouse. They have to label the parts, people, or ideas that belong in the courthouse. They also have to fill in the blank using the rest of the words. I will tell them to do their best. This will help us know which words we need to continue working on. Closure: I will give you the worksheet on Tuesday, so you can use it for future reference.

Strategies for students requiring additional assistance: none
