Lesson Plan Format

1. Standards/Quality Indicators/Skills
Missouri and national standards, quality indicators, and skills addressed by this lesson
7.RI. 1.A
7.RI.2.B

2. Learning Objectives (Goals) and Outcomes

The lessons objectives (goals) and learning outcomes appropriate for meeting curricular and student needs
Students will be able to identify the functions of words within a sentence and other works of
literature.
3. Assessment (type[s] of assessment used throughout the lesson)
Assessment(s) before, during, and after the lesson
Before: Students will enter the classroom and start on their bell ringer. They will write down
everything they know about the 8 parts of speech. (8 parts will be on the white board)
During: Students will work on worksheets and break off into groups of two to work on their
paragraphs and bonus point opportunity.
After: Students will be master parts of speech and make greats grades on their worksheets.

4. Lesson Structure and Procedures Sequence of events of the lesson elements.

(The before, during, and after the lesson, e.g., Engagement/Opening, Procedures, Guided Practice,
Conclusion)
Greet students by saying, While much of this will be a review for most of you, understanding the
parts of speech and being able to spot and use them correctly when speaking and writing, is
important. I am positive that by the end of this lesson each of you will master parts of speech in
your language development. (5 min)
Direct Instruction: begin by showing the class a PowerPoint presentation in order to review and
refresh the students minds on the right parts of speech. (12 min)
Guided Practice: Have students copy several sentences on to their paper. These are sentences that
either the teacher or students will come up with on the fly. The students will use colored pencils to
identify, by underlining, parts of speech within the sentences. Each part of speech will be
assigned a color.
Noun: Blue
Verb: Red
Adjective: Yellow
Adverb: Orange
Preposition: Green
Pronoun: Pink
Interjection: Purple
Conjunction: Light Blue
(30 min)
Independent Practice: Each student will be put into a group of 2 and asked to help each write a
paragraph about their favorite hobby. Each paragraph should contain all 8 parts of speech and
each part written in the particular color assigned to each part of speech. The paragraphs will be
taped to the wall near the bulletin board. (30 min)
Closing: Once the students have mastered this with help from the teacher walking around propose
a challenge. For ten extra bonus points each, see if the students can write ONE sentence that
contains ALL 8 parts of speech. (15 min)

5. Instructional Strategies
Teacher approach to helping students achieve the learning objectives (goals) and meet their needs
Day 1: Introduction to the lesson, direct instruction, and guided instruction.
Day 2: Independent practice and bonus point challenge.
Teacher will walk around the room each day and help the student in any way possible.
6. Learning Activities
Opportunities provided for students to develop knowledge and skills of the learning objectives (goals)
Students will use their iPads in order to research all forms of the 8 parts of speech. I am hoping as
they do other classroom assignments they will start to naturally point them out themselves.

7. Resources and Materials

List of materials used in the planning of and during the instruction of the lesson
---White Board
---Bulletin Board
---Computer and projector for PowerPoint presentation
---iPads
--- Collected new and old Newspaper/Magazine articles
---Paper and pencil
---Colored pencils.

8. Technology
Instructional and/or assistive technology incorporated into the lesson to enhance instruction and student
learning
Teacher will use computer/projector in order to show presentation. Students can research on their
iPads the 8 parts of speech if they need any further help after direct instruction.

9. Differentiation/Accommodations/Modifications/Increase in Rigor
To help meet the needs of all learners, learning differences, cultural and language differences, etc.
--Hattie will have her aid on hand in case she needs extra help due to dyslexia she will also have a
little bit more time to finish the assignment. I do not want her to feel rushed.
--Skye will be placed in the two person group with Millie. Millie tends to be shy and with Skye
previously being home schooled so I feel as though this pairing will be beneficial for both students.
--Alex: once he is finished and feels good about his work I want him to walk around the room and
offer help to any of his classmates that need a little extra help. He is so smart that often times he
has nothing in common with his classmates. I am hoping this helps him to get to know the others
and vice versa.
--Once we are finished I would love to give Matteo a chance to speak to his fellow classmates about
the 8 parts of speech in Spanish. I think it would be refreshing for him and the other students.
---John and Michael will be paired up. They are both intelligent young men but Michael, because of
his autism tends to get off course a tad bit. John is my classroom leader and can take charge in a
non threatening way.
---Students will be provided with brief notes and examples of facts and opinion to take home and
keep. Font will be larger for students who require bigger font due to poor eye sight.
---Students will also be able to find notes online with audio.
---Students can choose how they present their activity and bonus point opportunity in a way that
allows them to use their creativeness.
10. Classroom Management
Strategies consistent with the learning needs of the lesson that also meet student behavior needs to help
keep students on task and actively engaged
---Teacher will state consistent in what is desired on activities and due dates. Students are to finish
activities before leaving class and if they are having trouble are encouraged to ask the teacher for
help or gain help from peers.
---Students must run their bonus point sentence by the teacher first in order to make sure its right
and appropriate. If sentence is not appropriate the student will be reprimanded.

11. Extensions
Activities for early finishers that extend students understanding of and thinking about the learning
objectives (goals) by applying their new knowledge in a different way

If students finish early they can have extra time to check over their work and work on other
classroom assignments. If they have no other assignments they can read their library book quietly.
There are books in the back they can check out from classroom if they need a book. The groups of
two students assigned can also use that time to help each other out should one need a little extra
help.

12. Follow-up to Todays Lesson

Quick activity for review or building on todays learning that will deepen student understanding and
interconnect concepts (may be incorporated tomorrow or throughout the unit)
Follow up to this lesson is to have each student group read over their paragraphs to the class. Any
student who took on the task of extra bonus point will also read those out loud. As we are doing
this the class will have opportunities to point out the 8 parts of speech. When each student is done
we will applaud as a class as they go and attach their paper to the wall near the bulletin board!
