This is the first part of the lesson. The students will be introduced to the U.S. states and start to get familiar with them. The next lesson will be the next part and it will be a poster they construct.
Educator/Group Names: Wes
Grade level: 3rd-5th
Subject: Integrated Lesson
Date of lesson: 2/22/2020
Length of lesson: 40 minutes
Lesson Topic: Integrate learning some of the 50 states while performing exercises.
Overall Goal: (Broad action statement using non action verbs)
-Students will understand some of the 50 states that are within our country. Students will learn some interesting facts about those states, and lastly they will be getting physical activity while they are doing it.
Learner Background: (This addresses why the lesson is being taught.) Describe the students’ prior knowledge or skill related to the learning objective(s). For the prior knowledge I would communicate with their history teacher and hopefully teach this right after or before they are learning the states. For the physical education part, I will teach them how to properly perform the exercises they will be doing during the activity.
Curricular Standards: Identify the primary state standard(s) this lesson is designed to help students attain. (If required, include the national and/or local standards as well.)
-Cognitive domain – 2.1, 2.3, 3.1,3.2 Differentiates between movements in both personal space. Travels in general space with different speeds. Will identify active play opportunities outside of PE class. Actively engages in activity
-Affective domain- 2.1, 2.3, 3.1,3.2 Differentiates between movements in both personal space. Travels in general space with different speeds. Will identify active play opportunities outside of PE class. Actively engages in activity
-Psychomotor domain-2.1, 2.3, 3.1,3.2 Differentiates between movements in both personal space. Travels in general space with different speeds. Will identify active play opportunities outside of PE class. Actively engages in activity
Student Learning Objective(s): Identify specific and measurable learning objectives for this lesson. Use action verbs.
-Students will be able to perform the given exercises correctly. Students will be able to locate and have knowledge of facts from some of the 50 states. Students will be able to work together in their groups to complete the puzzle at the end of the activity.
Assessment:
Part I: Describe how you will check for student understanding during the lesson.
-Throughout the lesson I will be able to check their cards and observe them performing the activity. So, I can see if they are following the course the correct way. Also, I will be able to see how they are performing their exercises so I can give them feedback if needed.
Part II: How will you ask students to demonstrate mastery of the student learning objective(s)? Attach a copy of any assessment materials you will use, along with assessment criteria/rubric. (Formative or Summative)
Formative Assessment for the exercises
| Student A-Good-Feet are spread apart evenly | Student B-Needs to get hips down in the push up-Good with keeping chest up on the squat | Student C-Has improved with underhand toss-Now stepping with opposition | Student D-Has improved with jump roping-Need to work on underhand toss |
Materials/Resources: List the materials you will use in each learning activity including any technological resources.
-28 cards, multiple different size balls, 21 sheets of paper, 6 jump ropes, projector, 28 cones or poly spots, tape
The Lesson
Initiation:
Part I – Briefly describe how you will introduce the lesson, engage students in the lesson and connect it to previous learning. (This is intended to motivate students.)
-I would tell them they are going to be solving a puzzle and the first team to solve the puzzle correctly will gain a prize. I will explain to them that knowing the states are important and can be fun. Knowing the states can help you get around if you are traveling.
Part II – (This is intended to bridge to the lesson: set expectations for learning, articulate to learners what they will be learning in this lesson and why this is important).
-the expectation of this lesson would be to complete all the exercises correctly and work with their teams effectively to gain a prize at the end. I would tell them they will be performing various exercises and also navigating through the different states of America. They will be learning different sports teams, flags, and random facts about 28 different states.
Lesson Development: Describe how you will develop the lesson: what you will do to model or guide practice and the learning activities students will be engaged in to gain the key knowledge and skills identified in the student learning objective(s). Include the questions you will ask, identify and explain the instructional grouping (whole class, small groups, pairs, individuals) for each lesson segment, and include the approximate times for each. Indicate how diversity will be included. Include reference to Bloom’s taxonomy to identify higher levels of thinking.
–This activity is designed for the whole class. I will guide the students by giving them tasks they are going to perform with their teams. The cards will help guide them through the activity because they will basically tell them what different state to travel to. Once they get to the state they will perform the exercise and look at the card and travel to the next state and so on. The cards will give a description to where to go next but they will have to work as a team to make sure where they are going is correct. The game will help them learn where the states are located because they will be going to them and that is the goal of the activity. By the end of the lesson I want them to be able to work together with their teams, learn where states are located, interesting facts from those states, and get exercises in while they are learning the states.
Closure: Briefly describe how you will end the lesson, help students understand the purpose of the lesson, and show how it will connect to future learning. (Interact with learners to elicit evidence of student understanding of purpose(s) for learning and mastery of objectives)
-I will end it by collecting the cards and see how many students solved the riddle. I will tell them the purpose of this was to help them learn where the states were, facts about the states, working together, and exercising. I would explain that it is important to know where states are located and they will learn in their history class.
