 LESSON PLAN 2  Name__: Ms. Tratina Craig Grade: 3rd__ #of students __18__ # of IEPs __3__ Lesson Plan Title: My! How Time Flies Concept/Topic to Teach: Telling Time Standards Addresses: 9) Compose narrative texts using an introductory paragraph, specific time frames, clear sequencing of events, and a conclusion. Specific Objectives: Students will develop a timeline powerpoint to illustrate when various timepieces were used. Students will be graded based on the powerpoint rubrics provided by the teacher. Required Materials: Computer Anticipatory Set (Lead-In): The students will enter the classroom quiet as usual. The teacher will then direct the students to complete the bell ringer on the chalkboard. The bell ringer will state, name how many different ways are there to make twenty dollars. The teacher will begin the lesson by reviewing the bell ringer. The teacher will ask, can anyone name me one way we can make twenty dollars? If the answer is correct, the teacher will ask two other students for an answer. However, if the answer is incorrect, the teacher will ask another student to assist him or her. The teacher will ask, how many of you have a clock at home? She will give students ample time to answer. The teacher will then ask, why is it important to have a clock? The teacher will explain to the students that they will be discussing time and why it is important. The teacher will explain to the students that they will be developing a timeline to illustrate when various timepieces came about. The teacher will explain the outline for developing presentation slides and grading procedure. Step-by-Step Procedures for Teaching the Lesson:  Guided Practice/Monitoring: Assessment Based on Objectives: Students will develop a timeline powerpoint to illustrate when various timepieces were used. Students will be graded based on the powerpoint rubrics provided by the teacher. Closure: The teacher will ask different questions concerning the lesson. Question 1- Can anyone tell me how time is important? (allow three or four students to answer) Question 2- Name me one way we use time. (allow three or four students to answers) Question 3- Name various timepieces used from the beginning of time. (allow three or four students to answer) Since you all have an understanding of why time is important, tomorrow we will discuss other types of timelines. Adaptations: Josh and Alexis both have mild behavior problems. If they should get out of hand they will have to work with the Special Education Teacher to complete their assignment. Kaley has problems in Math but has no problem in Language. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Extensions: Jackie will be allowed to assist the teacher in putting the slides together. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Possible Connections to Other Subjects: The timeline could be used in a Mathematics Class. For example, the teacher could ask how many years are there between 1909 to 2009. Several math problems could be formed from the timeline. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">The teacher will begin the lesson by discussing the reasons time is important. She will also list the reasons on the board.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">The teacher will develop a list of ways or means of telling time used throughout the years. The teacher will display the list on the smart board.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Using the list on the smart board, the teacher will sequentially order from earliest to present-day the different ways of telling time.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">The teacher will introduce the term timeline. The teacher will draw a timeline on the board and order the list of ways of telling time on the timeline.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">The teacher will explain to the students that each group will be responsible for developing three slides about the way of telling time which the group researched.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">The teacher will provide the students with an outline for developing presentation slides. The teacher will discuss and model each step. The teacher will also provide students with the grading outline and discuss it as well.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">The teacher will allow students to use computers to search for pictures.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">The teacher will put individual slides together for the total presentation. Students will be able to help teacher decide what features to apply to the presentation.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">The teacher will instruct the students to take notes and record important comments about time.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">The teacher will refer students back to the smart board for a review of ways/means of telling time.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">The teacher will provide examples of good outlines and those not so well. The teacher will further explain that timelines should be dated from earliest to present-day.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">The teacher will allow ample time for each group to finish before he/she starts putting the slides together.
