Guiding questions that will provide the framework for the lesson. (Respond to each question.)
Who will you be teaching? (Identify student grade level as well as academic functioning level and specific needs of individual students) This lesson was developed for seven students with special needs. This lesson will be done in the classroom and in the community. At the grocery store. Most of the students are nonverbal and one student who has very limited verbal capabilities. All students in the class have IEPs. All of the students have life skill deficits. Who (if anybody) will assist with the presentation of this lesson, and what will their role be? The teacher will teach the main lesson. There are two classroom aids they will be coteaching and assisting with student behaviors during the lesson. When we go into the community the staff will break up the kids into small groups. What is the long range goal(s) that is tied to this lesson? After this unit and lesson the students will be able to be aware of community rules and how to behave in the community. What is the specific learning objective(s) for this lesson? The students will be able to demonstrate and understanding of rules in the community grocery store. (walk and stay with adults) What prerequisite skills/knowledge will students need to effectively access and participate in this lesson? The students do not need to have any prerequisite skills to participate in this lesson. They will have had lessons in the past talking about the same skills that they will be addressing in this lesson. When within the stages of learning will this lesson be presented? (Is it a learning acquisition lesson, learning fluency lesson, learning maintenance lesson, or learning generalization lesson?) This is a learning generalization and fluency lesson. The students will have discussed the lesson objectives before and will be generalizing the objectives to the community setting. When will this lesson be completed? (Will it be a one-day lesson or a multiple day lesson?) This lesson will be a one day lesson that will be repeated once a week for students to show progress. Where should this lesson be presented to ensure maximum student access and participation? (computer lab, classroom, science lab) AND what materials will be needed? The lesson will be presented in the classroom and then the students will go to the grocery store. Why are you planning to teach this lesson? Why must this information/skill be presented to the students? I am teaching this lesson because the students in my classroom have a difficult time in the community. Their parents have expressed to me the difficulties that they have taking their child to the grocery store so we are focusing on specific behaviors and how to act in the community. Hopefully, we will be able to get the students to be more appropriate and they can go with their parents as well. How does this lesson relate to the PA Academic Standards? 10.3.K.A Safety and Injury Prevention: A. Know and demonstrate the importance of rules to ensure safety.

16.3.K.B: Recognize there are socially acceptable ways to behave in different places. How does this lesson relate to the previous lesson? How does this lesson relate to future lessons? This lesson relates to previous lessons because we have been discussing how to behave appropriately in the community and rules to follow throughout the school year. This related to future lessons because the students will build on their independence in the community by gaining the skills from this lesson. This lesson will be repeated numerous times to ensure success for the students. How will you determine if students have met the lesson objective? (Think assessment) The teacher will assess if the students have met the objectives by observations of the student in the grocery store setting. How should this lesson be presented to ensure maximum student access and participation? (lecture, whole group activities, small group activities, cooperative learning groups) The lesson will be presented whole group in the beginning when reviewing the rules for the community. The students will break into small groups to practice the rules in the classroom. Then the students will remain in small groups in the community setting to ensure that each student is able to demonstrate their abilities.
