Mira a Kira! The purpose of this lesson is for you to be able to know
what makes for a setting, including words that indicate time and place.
You will eventually be able to do this in your own writing.
Anticipatory Set
The hook to grab students attention.
These are actions and statements by the
teacher to relate the experiences of the
students to the objectives of the lesson,
To put students into a receptive frame of
mind.
To focus student attention on the
lesson.
To create an organizing framework
for the ideas, principles, or
information that is to follow
(advanced organizers)
An anticipatory set is used any time a
different activity or new concept is to be
introduced.
Procedures
(Include a play-by-play account of what
students and teacher will do from the
minute they arrive to the minute they
leave your classroom. Indicate the length
of each segment of the lesson. List actual
minutes.)
Indicate whether each is:
I will put up some pictures on the Smart Board of certain places and ask
the students to identify the elements that make up where and when the
picture takes place. Using the pens, I will write some of their thoughts
out. The lesson will proceed after that.
The activity should last for the majority of the period. Students will be
need to have a copy of the reading, a highlighter, and access to group
members. I will briefly help them on the Smart Board first.
1. Students will enter the classroom, write down the learning target for
the day, and do the warm-up that Amy has assigned them for the
morning (5-10 minutes).
2. After the warm-up, I will ask the class to take notice of the pictures
that I have put up on the board. They will take the time and tell me
where and when the picture takes place and I will write that around the
pictures so that they have a visual. If they do not know, I will give
examples myself then ask them if they have any clues as to what it

. Closure
Those actions or statements by a teacher
that are designed to bring a lesson
presentation to an appropriate conclusion.
Used to help students bring things
together in their own minds, to make
sense out of what has just been taught.
Any Questions? No. OK, lets move on is
not closure. Closure is used:
To cue students to the fact that
they have arrived at an important
point in the lesson or the end of a
lesson.
To help organize student learning
To help form a coherent picture and to
consolidate.
Differentiation
To modify: If the activity is too advanced
for a child, how will you modify it so that
they can be successful?
To extend: If the activity is too easy for a
child, how will you extend it to develop
their emerging skills?

Assessment
How will you know if students met the
learning targets? Write a description of
what you were looking for in each
assessment.
would ask them to include some more descriptor words that make it
more interesting. The sentence would maybe then read: She hunched
contentedly, enjoying the fresh, crisp, golden Fall weather.
My personal assessment will be done with the closure of the lesson. By
asking them to use setting words to describe their favorite
city/country/place to hang out (or what have you), I will know whether
they took in any of the information or not.
