A lesson plan is a teacher's detailed description of the course of instruction, or 'learning trajectory' for a lesson. A daily lesson plan is developed by a teacher to guide class learning. Details will vary depending on the preference of the teacher, subject being covered, and the needs of the students.

• Objectives for student learning.
• Teaching/learning activities.
• Strategies to check student understanding.

Specifying concrete objectives for student learning will help you determine the kinds of teaching and learning activities you will use in class, while those activities will define how you will check whether the learning objectives have been accomplished.

The first step is to determine what you want students to learn and be able to do at the end of class. To help you specify your objectives for student learning, answer the following questions:

• What is the topic of the lesson?
• What do I want students to learn?
• What do I want them to understand and be able to do at the end of class?
• What do I want them to take away from this particular lesson?

Subject:

Language Arts  

Grades:

6, 7, 8  

Title – Sentence Combinations
Primary Subject – Language Arts
Grade Level – Middle school – Special Ed
Duration of the lesson – 30 minutes

Note:

This is an expressive language skills lesson for special education students.

Purpose:

To develop the ability to combine sentences with the appropriate use of clauses.

Lesson Format:

Individual or Group

Materials:

9 x 12 piece of oak tag

Description of Lesson:

Explain that there are different ways to combine sentences without relying on “and” or “because” as conjunctions. Give the children three sentences, either orally or written on the tagboard. Such as:

1. The boy walked to town.
2. The boy is named Bob.
3. The boy wore a yellow shirt.

The children’s job is to combine the three thoughts into a single sentence such as “Bob, who wore a yellow shirt, walked to town.”

Method of Evaluation:

Observe each child ‘s ability to combine sentences. Obtain a percentage of correct responses by dividing the number of correct responses made by the total number of responses possible.

1. Set up an in-class situation where students will need to use English that is related to the objectives of your lesson, and then simply observe them.
2. Have students recited something (a dialog, poem, etc.) in English that you have taught them (or that they have memorized independently).
3. After students read a short passage, ask them to tell you what the main idea was. You may also ask about important supporting points or details.
4. Assign students to write a few English sentences (or paragraphs) on a topic that is familiar to them. You will learn a lot about their English ability by reading what they have written.
5. Tell them a brief story in English. Then ask them questions about it, or ask them to tell the story back to you.
6. As you talk with your students, make mental notes of words they misuse or pronounce incorrectly. Those observations will tell you how well your students have learned what you have taught them. (By the way, don't be discouraged if you have to teach some things several times before students finally start to use them correctly.) These informal evaluations may also give your ideas for future lesson objectives.
7. Almost any in-class or homework assignment can serve an informal evaluation purpose, as long as you look at it with the purpose of learning where your students are having trouble with English.

Lesson closure is so important for learning and is a cognitive process that each student must "go through" to wrap up learning.  As teachers sometimes we forget that when students leave our room they step out into another world - sometimes of chaos.  They instantly switch wondering what's for lunch, which they are going to meet up with in passing period, how long will practice go tonight, what's for dinner, etc.  Teachers may be reflecting on how the lesson went or what they're going to take home to grade, but students are not.  The following is a compilation of different closure activities, some of which are short - less than a minute - and some a little longer.
