2. Learner Outcome(s)/Objective(s): (What will students learn from this lesson? How will you measure mastery of the
outcome?)
Purpose:
Rationale:
-Students will master the skill of watch-draw-share.
-By having the students learn a new note-taking skill
on watch-draw-share, they will learn how to pull out
-Students will learn about the four major Indian tribes:

Chumash, Cahuilla, Miwok, and Hupa Indians.
-Students will meet the California State Standards for
History-Social Sciences 4.2.1 by learning about the
four major Indian tribes in California.
3. Pre-assessment Activity: (Determine students abilities to achieve the learner outcome and prescribe instruction
accordingly. Consider: linguistic background, academic language abilities, content knowledge, cultural and health
considerations, interests and aspirations, physical development, social development, emotional development. )
Pre-Assessment:
Rationale:
Students will be asked about what they already know about

and low achieving students)
Modifications for ELL:

6. Learning Activities: Explicit Teacher Instruction - (Explain, model, demonstrate, check for understanding)
Learning Activities:
Rationale:
Following the pre-assessment activity, the teacher will
inform the students that they will be watching an
introduction video to our new lesson on California Indians.
The teacher will explain a new note-taking technique to the
students called watch-draw-share. They will first watch the
video once through without any distractions, and they will be
told to focus on the four Indian groups. Next they will be
asked to take out their Social Studies notebooks, and turn to
the next blank page. Now they will watch the video one more
time, while the teacher stops after main points for the
students to sketch down drawing, and words about the main
points.
At the end of the video, the students will have time to finish
up their sketches, and notes. The teacher will call on students
to share their notes on the video. The teacher will call on the
students at random by drawing sticks.
7. Learning Activities: Guided Practice/ Collaborative Practice (Check for understanding and provide feedback and
re-teaching)
Learning Activities:
Rationale:
The students will complete their sketches from the video on
details of the Indian tribes. The students may add words to
the sketches as well as quite drawings.
Students will share out their details of which they grabbed
8. Independent Practice: (Provide practice that supports the learning outcome. Note: Independent activities are
assigned assuming that students understand the concept well enough to work on their own.)
Independent Practice:
Rationale:
The students will be given handout packets that include a
large amount of useful information on each of the four Indian
tribes that they students are learning about during this unit of
study. They will be asked to color the backside page of each
tribe, and keep the packet in their desk. Explain to the
students that they will be using this packet tomorrow, when
we will be filling in a chart about specific details on each of
the four California Indian tribes. Remind the students to raise
their hands if they have any questions.
After the students are finished with the packets they may
read a book. Some students will not have time to finish
coloring every page. They may pull the packet out to finish
coloring at a later time.
9. Assessment and Evaluation: (Describe how you will assess and/or evaluate the students learning. Describe
differentiating assessment strategies you will use for ELL, special needs students, highly achieving students and low
achieving students.)
Assessment:
Rationale:
This lesson will have an informal assessment. The teacher
- Students will be assessed informally to verify that
will be asking students questions, as well as walking around

throughout this lesson.
-Students work will be looked over to be sure that
their notes are correct; this will help the teacher
decide if she should move on further into lesson or
if there are some areas that need to be revisited
within this current lesson.
-This lesson is the very first lesson and is the
introduction to unit 2. Therefore the pre-assessment
would serve as a means of evaluation as well.
10. Closure: (Describe how students will reflect on what they have learned.)
Closure:
Rationale:
Students will be told that they will have an opportunity to
