hand. They will choose which one they feel like they will learn the best from.

Student Engagement used throughout the lesson


Give a description of how you get students actively involved in this lesson.
(student/teacher, student/student, student/small groups, student/materials,
student/technology, etc.)

The lesson would first start out with a student/teacher as well as student/materials. But after
the students have gone through the whiteboards, and the lesson with the teacher, the
student engagement would then transfer into a student/small groups.

Assets (Knowledge of Students: personal, cultural, community)


Define the prior knowledge and experiences students bring to the lesson.
Will primarily be completed when lesson is actually taught in a field experience or ST setting.

students should be able to:


- identify on a map where Egypt is
- understand the role of a child in present day (to compare the differences)
- understand how the Egyptian society is structured

Differentiating Instruction
Identify the elements of the lesson that are differentiated (content, process, product).
Identify the student characteristic you will use to differentiate (readiness, interest, learning profile).
Explain how you differentiate (whole class, groups of students, individuals, or students with IEPs or 504 plans)

Consider the prompts above and circle areas of differentiation in the lesson. Define or
explain.

We allow for both group work as well as individual work in the class period. For students who
learn better through a hands-on lesson, they (and the rest of the class) will be reminded of a
future project that will be due at the end of the Egypt unit.

Procedure with time allotments:


A) Hook/Engage/Pre-Assess Students
Intentionally prepare students for the lesson.
Begin lesson by giving five to ten minutes for students to collaboratively write answers to
bellringer questions on their whiteboards and hold them up for a short discussion and review
from previous lessons.

B) Communicate the purpose of the lesson to students (objective/assessment)


Clearly state the purpose of the lesson in student language
You should be able to know the main differences between the children of Egypt and
the children of today by creating a venn diagram

Instructor invites students to raise their hands when asked questions about the lesson
and enforces the main points such as key vocabulary and roles in Egyptian society
discussed in the lesson. Students are given time to wrap up their notes and the
instructor will remind them to start thinking about the future project that will
encompass the unit as a whole.
Teacher and/or students should revisit the purpose of the lesson​. ​Strive to have students be
involved in this process.

Analyzing Teaching (Reflection):


Complete after the lesson is taught.

Give evidence that the lesson was successful for students meeting the learning
objective(s).

If you could teach this lesson to the same group of students again, what are two or three things you would do
differently to improve the learning of these students based on their varied developmental and academic needs and
characteristics? Consider missed opportunities and other aspects of planning, instruction, and/or assessment.
Explain in the table below.
