Observation #2

Lesson Plan Template for SED 406 and 407 part 1 = planning
Teacher Candidate: Alexandra Johnson	Subject: Geometry	Grade(s): Mostly 10th grade
Name of Lesson: Solids
Learning Objective(s), including Bloom's taxonomic level: (label A, B, C, *D) *optional The students will be able to recognize the relationship between a solid shape and it’s net.
Student Standards (GSE or/GLE or Common Core-in draft for math/science- list which): CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSG.GMD.B.4 Identify the shapes of two-dimensional cross-sections of three-dimensional objects, and identify three-dimensional objects generated by rotations of two-dimensional objects.
Teacher Standards (professional society and/or NETS  and RIPTS-list which): 2. Teachers have a deep content knowledge base sufficient to create learning experiences that reflect an understanding of central concepts, vocabulary, structures, and tools of inquiry of the disciplines/content areas they teach.
Rationale: Why this lesson? How does it fit into the curriculum and context? Is this the introduction, conclusion, or somewhere in the middle of the unit of instruction? To develop special relations so that students can apply these skills to real world applications.
Materials/Resources needed, including technology: White board, markers, examples of shapes, chromebooks, and website domain
Accommodations and Modifications (special needs and learning styles) For example:  Dr. Kraus has poor vision and needs written material to be at least 12 pt. font.  He also reads two grade levels higher and needs appropriate reading material.  Microphone for a mostly deaf student
What content resources support this knowledge base? (list at least 2) textbook and websites
How confident are you in this topic as you start this lesson? He is very confident and familiar with the subject

Lesson Plan Template part 2 = action
Bell-ringer: How will you get students seated, and ready for academic work? (without your voice) Do now: problems
Anticipatory Set: How will you introduce the material, interest the students, show relevance of topic? Last night’s homework of finding a website to help
Phase (change as needed)/Time	Teacher action	Student action	Questions/Assessments
e.g. Intro/5 min.	Deriving the word “polyhedron”	Answer if the know what the different parts of the word mean
Presentation or Open-ended/	Demonstration of different solid	Listen to the lecture and make connections	Connections
	Demonstration of nets	Listen to the lecture and make connections	Connections
Guided Practice or Convergent/	Lead students to websites	Exploration of the websites
	Guide them through exploration
Closing/	Website quiz
HW/Application/	Textbook problems
Review and Reflection: How will you review for students who are still having trouble? Show them how to draw the shapes in more depth
Extension: What will you offer to students who have mastered this? They are able to explore the websites further
*Closing: How will you review the material, and draw conclusions? (may be listed above) Website quiz

	Lesson Plan Template pt. 3 = reflection
WHAT?	What went well?   The students were really excited to explore the websites, and they seemed to even enjoy the quiz.
	What area of weakness needs addressing? being able to connect a net with a known shape for sure
	Which objectives were met? What is the evidence? The objective was met for the most part by all of the students. This is known through the quiz results.
	Which students did not meet objectives? I don’t know
	Was time managed appropriately? Yes
	Did any teacher mannerisms or actions detract from the lesson? No
	*What were the strengths and weaknesses of classroom management? The classroom was very well managed and the students were respectful towards the teacher and other students, most of the time.
SO WHAT?	Was the lesson engaging? Yes, especially the web exploration
	*What did I learn from my peer observation (address at least one aspect)   I learned that with expectations being established early on in the year, the classroom can be very easily managed
NOW WHAT?	How will this experience influence your professional identity?  I now know that I need to be consistent and fair.
	How will it influence how you plan/teach/assess in the future? I will make sure that my expectations are clearly set and I am consistent with them
