COLLEGE OF EDUCATION, HEALTH AND REHABILITATION LESS****ON** **PLAN FORMAT**
 * UNIVERSITY OF MAINE AT FARMINGTON


 * Teacher’s Name: ** Ms. Kenison **Lesson #2:** Organize
 * Grade Level:** 9 **Topic:** Writing in different genres

**__Objectives__**
 * Student will understand that ** each genre has a specific time and place to be used.
 * Student will know** how to organize their work through the INSPIRATION program.
 * Student will be able to** adapt each genre to flow in an organized manner by adding a specific voice, diction and rhetorical effect to make it fit the intended audience.

**__Maine Learning Results Alignment__** Maine Learning Results English Language Arts B) Writing B1) Interconnected Elements Grade 9-diploma Students use a writing process to develop an appropriate genre, exhibiting an explicit organizational structure, perspective, and style to communicate with target audiences for specific purposes.


 * Rationale:** Students will learn how to organize data so that writing the actual column will come easy.

**__Assessment__** 
 * Formative (Assessment for Learning) ** I will formatively assess them by giving the "exit interview" at the end of class and by monitoring the individual work as well as commenting on blogs and making sure my students are staying on task on up to date with everything they are doing.

I will summative assess them grading their INSPIRATION works. These are to be detailed, error-free and organized. This is an individual project because it is based on their own column, but they are encouraged to talk with peers and get help as they go.
 * Summative (Assessment of Learning) **

**__Integration__**
 * Technology: **Students will use technology through the INSIRATION program on their computers as well as making sure their ongoing blogs are updated.


 * Art: ** Students will be able to experiment with their artistic abilities by putting their INSPIRATION in different colors and including different shapes.
 * Mathematics: **<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Students will use the INSPIRATION software to organize data much like graphing and charting in mathematics. Everything must line up properly and flow exactly as planned.

**__<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Groupings __**<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">The class will be divided into 6 groups of 3 and one group of 2. These groups will consist of an interviewer and an interviewee. The goal is to help each other brainstorm and gather information on what their columns will be written on. These will not be shared and will not have to be handed in until the final project is due during the WebQuest final presentation of the unit.

**__<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Differentiated Instruction __**<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> I will review student’s IEP, 504 or ELLIDEP and make appropriate modifications and accommodations**//.//**
 * <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Strategies **<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">
 * Kinesthetic**: Students will get a chance to walk around the room during the genre interview.
 * Musical**: During the interview, music will be played so students have something to move to as they walk around the class.
 * Spatial:** While working with INSPIATION, students can experiment with the different colors and shape, etc.
 * Verbal**: Talking about the new vocabulary will let these learners be in their "happy" spot.
 * Logical:** The use of placing INSPIRATION in a concise order and possibly numbering each part of the outline so that it flows logically.
 * Naturalistic:** I will give the students an option to work outside, sit on the window sill or hangout by our classroom tree while they work on the INSPIRATION.
 * Modifications/Accommodations**

Since this lesson only takes up one class period and isn't graded until the column is handed in, it is your responsibility if you miss class. Come see me if you have questions and remember you can always talk to your buddy.

Technology:** Students will use technology through the INSIRATION program on their computers as well as making sure their ongoing blogs are updated.

These links have the download of INSPIRATION software and a step-by-step list of how each features work and can be used. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">[] is the website in which I found the walk about corporative learning technique I want the groups to follow while planning out their INSPIRATION graph. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">The goal and reasons web, and word and cluster web are graphic organizers that I found on the eduplace.com. They are graphs in which students will create a plan and then use INSPIRATION to make their plan a type II. This type II will be placed on the students blog for reference when new materials are brought up. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> **__Maine Standards for Initial Teacher Certification and Rationale__**

 * Clipboard:** organized, structured, visual directions, clear procedures/expectations, and consistent routines
 * Microscope:** analyzing concepts**,** deep exploration, focus on details, ownership and discussions.
 * Puppy:** comfortable environment, encouraging atmosphere, safe climate, empathic listeners, and sensitive peers


 * Rationale:** INSPIRATION helps students stay organized, explore deeper and stay focus. Because they have no certain topic or due date they have personal freedom and are placed in a comfortable environment.

Maine Learning Results English Language Arts B) Writing B1) Interconnected Elements Grade 9-diploma Students use a writing process to develop an appropriate genre, exhibiting an explicit organizational structure, perspective, and style to communicate with target audiences for specific purposes.
 * //Standard 4 - Plans instruction based upon knowledge of subject matter, students, curriculum goals, and learning and development theory.//**
 * Facet:** Organize


 * Rationale:** Students will learn how to outline and organize data so they knew exactly what they are going to write about before they start writing their column. This is the starting point of the "BIG" project and I will always be there for questions, comments and concerns.

Kinesthetic: Students will get a chance to walk around the room during the genre interview. Musical: During the interview, music will be played so students have something to move to as they walk around the class. Spatial: While working with INSPIATION, students can experiment with the different colors and shape, etc. Verbal: Talking about the new vocabulary will let these learners be in their "happy" spot. Logical: The use of placing INSPIRATION in a concise order and possibly numbering each part of the outline so that it flows logically. Naturalistic: I will give the students an option to work outside, sit on the window sill or hangout by our classroom tree while they work on the INSPIRATION.
 * //Standard 5 - Understands and uses a variety of instructional strategies and appropriate technology to meet students’ needs.//**


 * Rationale:** MI is used to get everyone involved and motivated to learn. I tried to spark the interest of all students and all the ways that they can be accommodated in the lesson. These MI's include bodily, Musical, Spatial, Linguistic and Logical.


 * //Standard 8 - Understands and uses a variety of formal and informal assessment strategies to evaluate and support the development of the learner.//

Formative (Assessment for Learning)** I will formatively assess them by giving the "exit interview" at the end of class and by monitoring the individual work as well as commenting on blogs and making sure my students are staying on task on up to date with everything they are doing. I will summative assess them grading their INSPIRATION works. These are to be detailed, error-free and organized. This is an individual project because it is based on their own column, but they are encouraged to talk with peers and get help as they go.
 * Summative (Assessment of Learning)**


 * Rationale:** My formative assessment helps me have an idea of what is missing in my lesson and what my students clearly understand. This lesson is mainly to get students to think about and organize their data for their final column. The summative gives them a grade or a standing so to speak that proves that the work was done.

**__Teaching and Learning Sequence__** <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">My role is to assure learning throughout the whole lesson, accommodate for my students, and be willing to answer any question thrown at me. I will not answer questions right away because I want students to have a chance to think through their problems with their selves and peers. The way they learn the information and how much they retain are the only things that matter.

The class will be divided into 6 groups of 3 and one group of 2. These groups will consist of an interviewer and an interviewee. The goal is to help each other brainstorm and gather information on what their columns will be written on. These will not be shared and will not have to be handed in until the final project is due during the WebQuest final presentation of the unit.

My classroom will be setup in table groups of three and where they sit is who their partners become for the 3-step interview.

 * DAY 1:**

Students will understand that each genre has a specific time and place o be used. //Students understand how to use a writing process to develop an appropriate genre, exhibiting an explicit organizational structure, perspective, and style to communicate with target audiences for specific purposes.// Writing must have a purpose and be completely organized. We write to tell something and we write to learn. An introduction to INSPIRATION software and look at real magazine columns. I will choose those magazines in which my students will be interested in (Glam, Sports Illustrated, Seventeen, Golf, etc.).
 * Where, What, Why, Hook and Tailors: Kinesthetic, Spatial, Musical, Verbal, Naturalistic and Logical**

Students will know how organize their work through the INSPIRATION program. Students will participate in a genre interview to figure out where their knowledge stands and have a 3 step interview with their neighbor. They will be given a describing wheel to list thoughts as a group before exploring the new software and making webs, outlines and such. The formative assessment will be based on their blogs and the INSPIRATION page they created and that will be used as a backboard to their final column. During the 3-step interview, students will quiz each other on what they will be writing to help organize the flow.

They will be given a describing wheel to list thoughts as a group before exploring the new software and making webs, outlines and such. The formative assessment will be based on their blogs and the INSPIRATION page they created and that will be used as a backboard to their final column. During the 3-step interview, students will quiz each other on what they will be writing to help organize the flow. Students will get then work on their INSPIRATION and hand it in with the final product (the column). Students won't get a chance to fix INSPIRATION but it can be subject to change throughout the process of writing the column. This will not be an oral presentation so there will be no rehearsal. Students will be encouraged to participate during class interview though.

** Vocabulary: **<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Organize: have a structured plan as to where you want to go and how you are going to get there. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Brainstorm: accelerate thinking, writing and planning with brainstorming. It’s a way to capture and organize data and ideas as well as enable a higher way of thinking. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">*Attendance and my observational journal is found on the right-hand side of my desk.

 * [|Inspiration Tutorial] ****  The two INSPRATION links are where students can go to download the software and find out the step-by-step process of where you are going and how you are getting there. This also explains how the bubbles can be different shapes and colors and where to pull the linking arrows to make it a bubble graph, like the goal and reasons web along with how to import and export the INSPRATION on the web and in blogs.   **

 * [|Walk about] ** ** This is another corporative technique in which students will use their kinesthetic MI to walk around and comment on the INSPIRATIONs of others. **<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">
 * [|Goal and reasons web] ** ** This is a graphic organizer that helps students express their “goal” and the “reasons” on how they wish to go about getting there. This is much like the INSPIRATION, but is a type I form, once it is put on the computer it will become the type II it needs to be.  **
 * [|Cluster and word web] ****  This is another type of graphic organizer to plan data corresponding with thoughts. Students are not required to use both, but must hand in one organizer with their INSPIRATION.  **
 * *I am conducting “exit interviews” which is includes the question, what did you learn? and they will hand in a note card with the answer before they leave class. Note cards are found in the top drawer of my desk. **
