This lesson plan aims to teach students about light and its properties. The students will research and write short paragraphs on topics related to light such as its visible spectrum or inventors of lightbulbs. They will then use digital technology to produce and publish their writing by typing paragraphs and flipping the text into a mirror image using formatting tools. To demonstrate their understanding, the students will print out their backwards paragraphs and try reading them in a mirror. Their knowledge will be assessed through a KWL chart completed before and after the lesson. The lesson relates to a larger unit on light and will be followed by further activities exploring the topic.

STUDENT TEACHER LESSON PLAN
FORMAT Day:
Date:
Subject: Literacy/ELA Common Core Standard(s): CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.3.6
With guidance and support from adults, use technology to produce and publish writing (using keyboarding skills) as well as to interact and collaborate with others. CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.3.7
Conduct short research projects that build knowledge about a topic.
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.3.8
Recall information from experiences or gather information from print and digital sources; take brief notes on sources and sort evidence into provided categories. Objective(s): At the end of this lesson my students will be able to My students will be able to demonstrate the ability to use digital technology to produce and publish research writing about a topic with peers. Resources/Materials List:
Procedure: Includes but is not limited to: focus, review, modeling, guiding questions, guided practice, and independent practice. This can be a detailed, bulleted list. 1. Before: Have students explore mirrors and print first. Create a KWL chart about this activity. 2. Learners will be asked to create a short paragraph on the topic of their choice which has to do with light. (Property of light, inventor or lightbulb, visible spectrum, ROYGBIV, how we see light.) 3. Have students create a text box. Type in at least 4-5 sentences. a. Might begin with Did you know that 4. As a group, go over the following steps: right click text box > format text box> change x to 180 which will flip text to mirror image. 5. Print out paragraphs backwards. Have students exchange paragraphs and try to read them in the mirror.
6. After: Return to KWL chart. Discuss why this happened.
Plans for differentiation: Address the individual needs of students based on performance levels. This can also be a list describing the way you will match the instruction and instructional tasks to low or high performers. List the students name and a sentence describing the plan. Assessment: How do you know the student met your objective? This can be a rubric, a checklist, or a statement. KWL chart will serve as assessment, along with students writing/print outs Plans for accommodation/modification: Describe any needed accommodations (changes in teaching method or materials), modifications (changes in learning objectives), or modified assessments needed to meet student IEP goals, objectives, or behavior plans here. Provide the students name, a reference to the related IEP objective (e.g., Goal 3, Objective 2), and a description of the accommodation/modification. Whats next? Teachers plan each day in relation to a bigger picture. How does this lesson relate to the unit, theme, or concept development? What do you plan to teach next? This can be a sentence.
