Lesson # 4 Date and Time of Lesson: Thursday, October 17, 2013

Learning Objective: Students will be able to successfully sequence five cards that show the items the old lady ate. Alignment with Standards: CC.RL.K.1 With prompting and support, ask and answer questions about key details in a text. CC.RL.K.2 With prompting and support, retell familiar stories, including key details. CC.RL.K.3 With prompting and support, identify characters, settings, and major events in a story. CC.KK.CC.4a When counting objects, say the number names in the standard order, pairing each object with one and only one number name and each number name with one and only one object. Developmental Appropriateness or Cross-curricular connections: In order to participate in this lesson the students will have to be able to listen well and participate in discussion. They will also have to be able to use scissors to cut paper and use glue to glue the paper down. Students will need to be able to know left and right sequencing and have the fine motor skills necessary to open a clothespin. This lesson will be related to math as students will grow in their understanding that each event happens in a number sequence. (ex: First she swallowed the bat. Second, she swallowed the cat.) Assessment(s) of the Objectives:
Lesson Objective(s) Assessment(s) of the Objective(s) Pre-Assessment: Every student took a computer assessment the first week of October. The data from this assessment showed that 20 out of the 26 students needed to work on recalling facts/details in a story. During-Assessment: Teacher will base the questions that she asks during the interactive readaloud off of the students answers to previous questions. If students seem to have difficulty teacher will ask simpler questions and provide explanations. If students need a challenge teacher will ask questions that require deeper thinking. As class works through the whole-group Use of Formative Assessment After collecting the data from this lesson I will determine whether or not a majority of the students still need more instruction on recalling facts/details. If there are only a few students that still need help I will pull the students in a small group to further instruct them. If there is a majority of students that need help with this skill I will do another whole-group instruction lesson with different activities to try to further their understanding. This is a skill that we will continue to use in our reading throughout the year.

Students will be able to successfully sequence five cards that show the items the old lady ate.

Post-Assessment: Students will cut cards that show pictures of the things the old lady ate. After cutting the cards, students will glue them on a retelling mat.

Accommodations: This activity is easily accommodated to ESOL and speech students because it is based on auditory and visual learning. Students will listen to and participate in an interactive read-aloud and use visuals to retell the story in the correct order. Students will not have to be able to read in order to complete this activity. In order to accommodate my average and high students I will have them label the pictures out to the side. In order to provide assistance to those students that I need it I will make sure I am available to them while they are working. Students that finish early will draw a picture of the old lady on the retelling mat. Materials: There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Bat By Lucille Colandro on PPT Smart board Large Visual Cards on clothespins Old Lady Attire: night gown, glasses Visual Card Handouts Retelling Mats Crayons Paper Glue Procedures: 1. (*pre-assessment data taken from a test the students took) 2. Interactive Read-Aloud: Teacher will read There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Bat off of the Smartboard. *Questions to ask: Who is the main character in this story? Where do you think she might be? How do you think she feels after eating everything? What did she eat first? (Second? Next?) Why did she eat the bat? (Cat, Ghost, etc.) 2. Teacher will lead the group in an activity where they use visuals to retell the order in which the old lady ate everything. Teacher will be dressed up as the old lady, and the students will use the large visual cards to retell the story on the night gown. The students will simply clip the cards to her nightgown. 4. Students will be given a handout that has pictures of the different items that the old lady ate and a retelling mat to glue the cards on after they cut them out. (*post-assessment) 5. Students that need a challenge will be told to label the pictures out to the side, and those that finish

early will draw a picture of the old lady on their retelling mats. Activity Analysis: After an interactive read-aloud the class will work together to sequence the events of the story clipping visual cards to the teachers night gown. This activity will assess their knowledge of the story and also their fine motor skills. This activity will be engaging with students as they physically get to clip the pictures on the old lady. Students will work individually to complete a sequencing activity where they glue picture cards on a retelling mat. This activity will be used to assess students ability to recall events from the story. Students do not have to be able to read to complete this activity. The cards will show pictures of the various things eaten. This activity will be used as a post-assessment to see what students gained from the interactive read-aloud and the whole-group activity. In this lesson I will use the Smart board to display the story that I will be using. Reading the story on the Smart board will allow the students to be able to see the pictures easier and also the words. References: Colandro, L. (2002) There was an old lady who swallowed a bat.
