Lesson Plan 2


 I.               Rationale
The reason for teaching this lesson is to make sure students understand the vocabulary and order in representation of plot and using it in a plot diagram. This lesson matches requirements for sixth grade language arts under Arizona’s College and Career Ready Standards.
II.             Overview
a.     Grade level: Sixth Grade
b.     Subject: Language Arts
c.     Topic of Study: Plot Diagrams   
d.     Time Allotment: 30 minutes
e.     Standards: Arizona’s College and Career Ready Standards
·      6.RL.3 - Describe how a particular story’s or drama’s plot unfolds in a series of episodes as well as how the characters respond or change as the plot moves toward a resolution.
·      6.RL.5 - Analyze how a particular sentence, chapter, scene, or stanza fits into the overall structure of a text and contributes to the development of the theme, setting, or plot.
f.      Objectives: TSWBAT identify the vocabulary words that are involved in the making of a plot diagram. They will then use their knowledge of the vocabulary words to create their own plot diagram using their choice of book/story.
III.           Implementation
a.     Procedure:
·      The teacher will introduce the objective of the lesson and review what plot is.
·      Then the vocabulary for the lesson will be posted on Google Slides on the Smart Board and the teacher will have a discussion with the students to talk about what each one of the vocabulary terms is.
·      The teacher will then move on to the next slide and ask the students at random to place the vocabulary terms where they belong on the plot diagram.
·      The teacher will post an already filled out plot diagram on the board and have it available on the board for the students to reference to as they complete their assignment.
·      The teacher will introduce the assignment to the students and explain what is to be done on Pixie
·      The students will be able to use their creativity to create the structure of the plot diagram how they wish and fill in the information of each vocabulary term based on their choice of book or story.
·      The students will be required to include a title and insert their responses for each vocabulary term in text boxes.
·      The students will then answer the reflection questions and include them on their page on Pixie wherever they would like.
·      The students will then get to do a gallery walk and review their peers work and learn a little bit about the other books or stories.
b.     Technology Integration
·      The teacher will use Google slides to present the new vocabulary words to the students. The teacher will have preset slides with the words and fill in the definitions as she/he collects ideas for what the word could mean from the students.
·      The teacher will also use Google slides to show the students the format and usage of a plot diagram.
·      The students will use Pixie to create their own plot diagram. They will do this by using their own creativity to decide how to make and design their plot diagram.
c.     Differentiated Integration
·      Cognitive Delay: For students with cognitive delays there will be provided a key guard to prevent the hitting of unwanted keys. They will also be given the opportunity to work on the reflection questions about their plot diagrams with a peer that can assist if needed (working in pairs will benefit the class as a whole)
·      Gifted: Students who are gifted will be challenged by being asked to include 3 major themes that occur throughout their book/story. They will be encouraged to choose a full-length chapter book to create their plot diagram off of.
·      ELL: Students who are English Language Learners will be given support by being given extra notes on the book/story they choose to create their plot diagram on to help them guide their thoughts into their work.
IV.           Assessment
a.     Procedure
·      The assessment portion of this lesson will be the student’s ability to successfully create a plot diagram while including all 5 components that were covered in the vocabulary portion of the lesson
·      They will also be assessed on how efficiently they answer the reflection questions at the end of the assignment portion of the lesson
b.     Instruments
·      Google slides (Presented on the Smart board and filled in on the computer throughout the lesson)
·      Pixie
V.             Materials and Resources
·      Smart Board
·      Google slides
