First do a brainstorming web (see next slide)

Use your ideas from webbing

Determine your basic curricula areas, such as math, science, etc…

Create a curriculum web putting in specific activities under each curricula area (use your brainstorming web for ideas)

Create your lesson plan

Detail your activities:

Materials needed

Time needed

Domains of development covered

A lesson is the smallest individual piece of a concept, theme, or topic to be taught

A lesson should only include one element to avoid confusion or overload

Once students have mastered a lesson, the teacher can move on to the next piece

A lesson is NOT necessarily what can be covered in 45 minutes or bell-to-bell

Individual lessons make up a unit

7

The “what” for the lesson. What is(are) the expectation(s) for the student. What will they learn or be able to do as a result of the lesson?

Daily/Lesson objectives should align with your long-range goals and district curriculum and the TEKS

Example: The student will be able to correctly identify at least 45 of the 50 U.S.

State Capitals on the unit exam.

TEKS (Objective)

In Texas, you must list the TEKS addressed in the lesson alongside the objective(s).

If you can’t find a corresponding TEKS for your objective, then DON’T teach it.

Cite your TEKS as below:

6th Grade Mathematics: 111.22(b)(9)(B) – “Find the probability of a simple event and it’s compliment and describe the relationship between the two.”

An activity where the teacher formally determines that students learned the knowledge or skills outlines in the lesson objective(s)

Lesson assessments should directly measure the objectives (TEKS)
