Focus Lesson (teacher does): Detail opening activities by exploring the following questions. How will you motivate the students to want to learn the new concepts (see
Key Concepts) and strategies/skills (see Lesson Objectives)? How will you introduce the Big Idea of the lesson? How will you link this lesson to the students’ prior
knowledge?
Emily will start the lesson out by asking if the students have any celebrations that they would like to share. Julianna will pull up the slide show while is discussing some of
the celebrations that were shared. Once we need to start the lesson then Amber will shake her rain stick to get the classrooms attention.

Modeling (teacher does): Name and demonstrate the content area strategies/skills (see Lesson Objectives) that are the focus of the lesson. Explain and show their
purpose. Use analogies or other concrete examples to explain concepts (see Key Concepts).
Our learning objectives are that students will be able to retell key details from the article. For visual art the students will be able to use various colors ,textures, and
lines to interpret a celebration through art. Students will use history to

Guided Instruction (teacher and students do together): Detail main activities by exploring the following questions. What Essential Questions will you ask students to
facilitate learning? How will you organize students? What will you do/say during each learning activity? What will the students do (see Lesson Objectives)?
The students will be organized in the groups they are sitting, around 6 people per group. A few of the questions are: What does celebration mean? What are some things
that people celebrate? What is a common celebration that you celebrate? Who do you typically celebrate with? In each activity the teacher will follow the lesson plan ask/
state the things written out for the teacher to say to encourage learning.

Collaborative Learning (students do together): What activity will you include so that students have an opportunity to negotiate understandings and engage in inqui
with peers?
After students read the article they will be asked to discuss the article and the meaning they took from it among each other in their group.

Independent Learning (students do alone): What activity will the students complete independently to apply their newly formed understanding to novel situations? What
will the students explore independently?
Independently the students will explore the use of different colors and the mixing of different colors while making their own fan that they learned in the demo.

Closure: How will you end the lesson to solidify learning? How will you and/or students summarize concepts and strategies/skills (see Key Concepts and Lesson
Objectives) for the day?
Emily will finish reading the PowerPoint. As she’s finishing it, Amber will be setting up her demo in the back., while Carmen will set up her demo in the front of the room.
Juliana will then split the classroom into two groups. Amber and Carmen will do their demos then we will let the class design their fans. As the students finish then our
group will hot glue the paper plates and popsicle sticks to make the fans. Once the students are finished in small groups they will discuss their design they did on their fan.

Please respond to the following questions thoroughly and in complete sentences.

1. How will you adapt the various aspects of the lesson for students with disabilities?
We will adapt the various aspects of the lesson for the students with disabilities by providing extra support to those students to make it an
inclusive classroom. For example, if we have a student who is deaf, we will provide a PowerPoint explaining what our lesson is about and
when we teach them how to make/ decorate their fan so they could see us break it down visually.
2. How will you adapt the various aspects of the lesson for English language learners?
We will provide the essential tools to help our English Language learners such as worksheets of our lesson translated into their language. We
will also demonstrate how to decorate their fan so they could have a visual demonstration of what our lesson is about. If student still needs
further assistance we will try to set them aside individually to help them understand the lesson we taught in class.
3. How will this lesson allow for/encourage students to solve problems in divergent ways?
This lesson plan will help children to learn how to accept and adapt to different cultures and traditions in their classroom setting. Making
the paper fans and displaying their traditions on the fans can help the students to learn about the different cultures of their peers. This
activity will also help students learn that everyone is different and comes from a different background.
4. How will you engage students in routinely reflecting on their learning?
Students will describe their art work and to reflect on the choices they made in their art work regarding texture, color, and patterns.
Students will also describe why they created what they did, how does it incorporate their celebration.
5. How will you (a) address potential safety issues and (b) assure necessary precautions are followed? See OEHHA, link HERE
We (the teachers) will be using hot glue guns to glue popsicle sticks to the students fan that they are decorating, but we will not be letting
the students use the hot glue gun. We are also using kid friendly makers, crayons, and paint that is approved by the OEHHA. The paint and
markers we are using do not have any toxic materials in it.
