parts: learning and
behavior
Sometimes called a
"hook" to grab the

Focuses student
attention on the
objective and the
purpose of the lesson
Activates prior
knowledge
Requires ACTIVE
PARTICIPATION from

-Display bottles in front of the room where all students can see them.
-Teacher uses think aloud strategy to model for students.
- Compare containers side by side and models reasoning for
determining which set of plastic bottles uses the most materials.
Teacher questions:
Which option produces more waste? Smaller containers
How do we know? When we compare them side by side we can see
that the smaller containers were made using more plastic than the
large bottle.
What can we do to reduce the amount of waste we will make when
we go shopping? Buy products that come in larger containers instead
of buying multiple small ones.
What are other ways that we can reduce waste in our community?
Our school? Our homes?

Checks for
Understanding

Various strategies that

are ongoing throughout
the entire lesson.
Enables teacher to
determine whether ALL
students have "gotten it."

Guided Practice:
An opportunity for each
student to demonstrate new
learning by working through
an activity or exercise with the
teachers guidance.

Closure:

Actions or statements
made by teachers AND
students that summarize
the learning and solidify
lesson objectives.

Possible student answers:

Using reusable plates, cups, and silverware instead of disposable
ones.
Using a reusable bag at the grocery store.
Using both sides of a paper, or using whiteboards, etc.
-Check for understanding includes teacher observations, whole
group/small group student participation, and guided practice skit
participation.

-Students work with table groups to create short 2 minute skit about
reducing waste. (5 groups total)
-Each group receives index card with a prompt: For example,
reducing the amount of paper we use in the classroom.
-Students act out prompt.
Exit ticket 1-1-1

For independent practice students will complete a journal entry.

min

Students will be assessed according to the scoring rubric, and journal

entry.
This concept will continue to be extended throughout the unit.
Process can be modified for students who may have a difficult time
participating in skit in front of the class. Student can choose to write 35 sentences for reducing waste instead.
Technology tools include: Unit PowerPoint (slides 5-8), promethean
board/pen, empty plastic soda containers, anticipatory set anchor
chart, read aloud book.
Throughout this lesson students engage in critical thinking and
collaborate with peers to create short skit demonstrating knowledge
gained from the lesson. Students communicate in whole group, small
group, and individually with teacher and peers.
