Page 2: !Differentiated!Learning!Plan!Project!Template!wp.cune.org/kaylasombke/files/2012/10/Learning-Plan.pdf · Day&One:!!Students!will!begin!theclass!by!making!aKWL!chart!for!thechapter!and!vocabulary!words.!

Day  One:    Students  will  begin  the  class  by  making  a  KWL  chart  for  the  chapter  and  vocabulary  words.  Today,  we  will  be  learning  about  Cause  and  Effect.  Students  will  be  introduced  to  the  vocabulary.  I  will  give  the  class  some  scenarios  of  things  that  might  happen,  and  then  the  children  must  come  up  with  some  “effects”  to  the  “cause”  given.  I  will  then  have  students  open  their  science  book  and  to  the  “Let’s  Read  Science”  activity.  I  will  have  students  in  random  partners.  We  will  read  the  paragraph  and  fill  in  the  graphic  organizer  with  the  proper  cause  and  effects.  Next,  with  their  partner,  students  will  cut  out  their  Vocabulary  Smart  Cards  and  play  the  game  suggested,  and  write  a  sentence  about  the  vocabulary  word  on  the  back  of  the  card.  If  they  finish  in  time  as  an  anchor  activity,  they  can  do  the  next  suggested  activity  and  do  a  Word  Wheel  with  their  vocabulary  words  and  write  up  synonyms  and  related  words  for  each  of  their  vocabulary  words.    

Day  Two:  Today,  we  will  read  the  lesson  out  loud  as  a  whole  group.  I  will  be  asking  for  different  volunteers  to  read  a  paragraph,  but  choosing  wisely  by  choosing  a  variety  of  students.  When  we  come  to  a  vocabulary  word,  I  will  write  the  word  on  the  board.  When  we  are  finished  reading  the  lesson,  we  will  go  over  each  of  the  vocabulary  words  and  their  definitions.  I  will  show  the  class  pictures  of  each  of  the  vocabulary  words  (habitat,  ecosystem,  etc.).  I  will  then  have  students  divided  up  in  to  partners  based  on  readiness:  Sarah  with  one  of  the  5  unidentified  students  and  the  other  4  partnered,  Scott  and  Emma,  and  the  other  15  students  partnered  and  one  group  of  three.  In  their  groups,  they  will  re-­‐read  the  lesson,  and  as  they  go  through,  they  will  answer  the  questions  given  throughout  the  lesson  in  their  book.    

Day  Three:  I  will  introduce  each  of  the  six  ecosystems.  I  will  show  pictures  of  each  of  the  ecosystems.  I  will  have  students  describe  to  me  what  they  see  and  what  the  characteristics  of  each  ecosystem  are.  We  will  talk  about  what  kind  of  animals  and  plants  live  there.  We  will  do  a  KWL  chart  for  all  6  ecosystems  as  a  large  group.    

Day  Four:  Differentiation  Day:  At  the  beginning  of  class,  I  will  do  a  formative  assessment  review  from  the  day  before.  I  will  show  a  PowerPoint  picture  on  the  screen  of  an  ecosystem,  and  the  class  will  answer  out  loud  what  ecosystem  it  is.  I  will  then  explain  how  to  navigate  the  centers.  There  will  be  six  centers,  one  for  each  ecosystem:  grasslands,  deserts,  forests,  tundra,  oceans,  and  wetlands.  At  each  center  there  will  be  books  on  each  ecosystem,  National  Geographic  magazines  or  others  about  the  specific  ecosystem,  iPads  with  app  “EcosystemsHD”,  iPads  with  a  video  about  the  ecosystem,  and  large  pictures  of  the  ecosystem.  Students  will  be  required  to  go  around  to  three  ecosystems  in  the  time  for  today  and  fill  out  a  graphic  organizer  about  each  ecosystem.  However,  there  can  only  be  a  maximum  of  four  people  at  each  station.  Tomorrow,  they  will  be  allowed  to  go  to  the  next  three  that  they  didn’t  get  to  today.    

Day  Five:  Students  will  be  given  time  to  finish  their  centers  and  graphic  organizers  about  each  ecosystem.  When  each  child  has  completed  the  graphic  organizer,  they  will  check  in  with  me.  They  can  do  an  anchor  activity  of  playing  with  the  “EcosystemsHD”  app  on  an  available  iPad,  look  at  available  books  or  search  for  more  information.  When  all  students  are  finished,  we  will  come  back  together  and  go  over  our  KWL  charts  and  what  we  have  learned  about  each  ecosystem.  I  will  then  introduce  their  projects.  I  have  chosen  to  introduce  the  projects  now  because  the  students  would  be  focused  on

learning  about  their  specific  ecosystem  for  the  project  and  not  get  a  better  basic  understanding  of  each  ecosystem.  Their  projects  will  be  due  in  one  week  and  then  we  will  have  a  presentation/museum  day  in  the  class.    

Long  Form  Lesson  Plan:    Clearly  define  differentiated  techniques  for  specific  students  in  the  right  hand  column  of  the  lesson  plan.

Name  of  Lesson:    What  is  an  Ecosystem?     Period  /  Time:  45  minutes      

 

I.    Goal:    Students  will  correctly  identify  the  characteristics  (weather,  location,  plants  and  animals)  that  belong  to  each  ecosystem  (forest,  desert,  wetlands,  ocean,  tundra,  grasslands)  by  learning  through  a  variety  of  mediums.    

Required  Adaptations/Modifications:  

         

 

II.    Objectives:    Given  books,  magazines,  pictures,  and  an  iPad  application,  students  will  be  able  to  correctly  identify  each  ecosystem  and  give  information  about  each  ecosystem.      

Required  Adaptations/Modifications:  Books,  magazines,  pictures,  and  an  iPad  application  will  be  used  to  reach  students  of  different  learning  preferences.  

III:    Faith  /  Values  Integration:  We  will  talk  about  how  God  has  made  each  ecosystem  different,  and  has  allowed  the  perfect  environment  for  each  of  the  animals  that  lives  in  each  ecosystem.    

Required  Adaptations/Modifications:  

         

 

IV.    Integrated  Technology:  During  centers,  students  will  be  able  to  go  online  and  watch  a  video  about  the  ecosystem.  Students  will  also  be  able  to  use  the  iPad  app  EcosystemsHD  and  learn  about  each  ecosystem  by  listening,  reading,  pictures,  videos,  and  a  self-­‐quiz.    

Required  Adaptations/Modifications:  The  app  allows  the  text  to  be  read  aloud,  which  will  be  good  for  Sarah  to  be  able  to  hear  the  text.  The  app  also  allows  learning  for  a  variety  of  learning  preferences  for  the  students.

centers  

                   C.    Main  Lesson:    Students  will  be  required  to  go  around  to  three  ecosystems  in  the  time  for  today  and  fill  out  a  graphic  organizer  about  each  ecosystem.  They  must  get  enough  information  to  begin  thinking  about  a  project.    

                   D.    Transition:    Tell  students  they  have  two  minutes  left  to  work.  When  two  minutes  is  up,  they  go  back  to  their  seats.    

                   E.    Conclusion:  Ask  students  if  they  got  to  three  ecosystems  (To  check  on  students  I  have  not  checked  on).  Ask  students  if  they  learned  something  interesting  about  one  of  their  ecosystems.  Ask  students  if  they  saw  a  picture  of  a  new  animal  they  have  never  seen  before.  Tell  students  they  will  be  finishing  their  organizers  tomorrow  while  visiting  the  other  three  ecosystem  centers.    

 

there  will  be  books  on  each  ecosystem  at  various  reading  levels,  National  Geographic  magazines  or  others  about  the  specific  ecosystem  for  pictures  and  detailed  information,  iPads  with  app  “EcosystemsHD”  for  visual,  auditory,  and  written  learning  styles,  iPads  with  a  video  about  the  ecosystem  for  audiovisual  learners,  and  large  pictures  of  the  ecosystem  for  visuals.  

VII.    Assessment:  

PowerPoint  formative  assessment  at  beginning  of  class  to  see  if  they  remember  the  ecosystems  learned  from  yesterday.    

Do  a  thumbs-­‐up/thumbs-­‐down  formative  assessment  of  centers,  as  explained  in  “Conclusion.”  

Required  Adaptations/Modifications:  PowerPoint  assessment  using  pictures  as  visual  reminders  of  ecosystems  for  the  five  students  who  struggle  with  prior  knowledge.  

 

VIII.    Assignment:  

Today’s  activities  will  lead  towards  the  Day  5  project  assignment/assessment.    

Required  Adaptations/Modifications:  

Students  will  be  given  a  variety  of  projects  to  choose  from  for  their  summative  assessment  of  the  lesson.  These  projects  are  based  on  learning  preferences  and  student-­‐choice.
