Read I can statement and essential questions together and tell students that some of these achievements we still use today. Think about our world today…compare the Egyptian achievements to our society today…what is similar and what is different? Where would we be today if some of these Egyptian achievements were not developed? INSTRUCTION Step-By-Step Procedures – Sequence Discover / Explain – Direct Instruction Modeling Expectations – “I Do” Questioning / Encourages Higher Order Thinking Grouping Strategies Differentiated Instructional Strategies to Provide Intervention & Extension I will present an overview of the lesson through my powerpoint and students will fill in the blank notes to follow along.

CLOSURE Reflection / Wrap-Up Summarizing, Reminding, Reflecting, Restating, Connecting If students have nearly finished the whole lesson, we will come together as a class and review the standard and answer essential questions. The next lesson will be on the greatest Egyptian Pharaohs. If students have not finished the lesson, we will finish tomorrow. We will still review the standard and attempt to answer some of the essential questions and make real world connections. CROSS-CURRICULAR CONNECTIONS I am supporting literacy by having students read, analyze, and learn how to take notes by using the powerpoint and Gallopade text to answer text dependent questions NOTES: This lesson may not be finished in a day. The class you are coming to does have some disciplinary issues so I will make sure that partners are choosing wisely and may have to ask some to work on their own. I also have some students that will need a lot of support because they can not read on grade level and will have some trouble with the Gallopade text so I will make sure I’m working with them a little more than others.
