Different Types of Dogs Lesson Plan

Lesson Plan Due Date:_________________ To be taught on: Different Types of Dogs Teacher: Emily Davis Assistant: _______________ Observer:______________
BASIC LESSON PLAN FORMAT

Grade: Kindergarten Subject/Content Area(s): Science- Structures and Functions of Living Organisms NCSCOS Goal(s): K.L.1 Compare characteristics of animals that make them alike and different from other animals and non-living things. NCSCOS Objective(s): K.L.1.1 Compare different types of the same animal (i.e different types of dogs/cats etc.) to determine individual differences within a particular type of animal. Lesson Objective: Must include all four parts audience, behavior, condition, degree. This is what you have decided you want them to learn. You have to decide this first before you can develop ANY part of your lesson. If your NCSCOS objective is for them to learn about the civil war, your lesson objective is specifically what exactly you want them to learn about the civil war in this 45 minute lesson and how they will demonstrate to you that they have learned it. Students will KNOW that there are individual differences within a particular type of animal and they will be ABLE to contrast different types of the same animal to determine the differences. Materials: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. My visual(s) is to have the children bring in pictures of their dogs and have them all on display. Multiple Intelligences: This lesson incorporates the Logical/Mathematical and Verbal/Linguistic intelligence by having the students contrast different types of dogs using a Venn Diagram and writing about the differences in dogs for a class book. This will be done in the Guided Practice (Venn Diagram) and the Independent Practice (students writing sentences) section of this lesson. Blooms: This lesson asks the students to perform at the fourth level of Blooms Taxonomy. Procedures: 1. Focus and Review: Get your students interested in what you are about to teach them, link to prior knowledge. Do not ask them how they are or what they did this weekend, etc. This MUST relate to what you will be teaching them.

To be taught on: Different Types of Dogs
Each student will bring in a picture of a dog. Ask students, Are all of these dogs the same? They will say, No and then teacher will ask them, How are they different? Each small group of students will examine their pictures of dogs and will come up with ways that they are different. Then they will report their findings back to the class. 2. Statement of Objective: Tell them what they are going to learn, what you are going to teach them. Do not begin teaching here.
Today we will be talking about how there are differences within the same animal group. You will be able to determine the differences in different types of dogs and be able to contrast them orally and in writing. 3. Teacher Input: Teach to the objective. Teach them content. Ask questions to check for understanding. TI should include description of teacher actions, instructional techniques- modeling, demonstrations, directions, monitoring and adjusting for understanding, adapting instruction for individual learning needs, and questioning. TI should also include a description of what the children are expected to do. Script exactly what you plan to say and do. Include expected student responses. You should be teaching them what your objective says you want them to learn and what you attempted to interest them in in the focus and review and you should be doing here what you told them they were going to learn about. This should prepare them for what they will do in guided and independent practice.
Begin by explaining to the students that living things are divided into groups according to how they are similar. Just because animals are in the same animal group does not mean that they are exactly the same. All dogs are not identical. They all have individual differences. When we observe them closely, we can see that they have different characteristics such as color, size, shape, abilities, energy level, etc. When we started our lesson today, you guys compared different types of dogs and you told me ways that they were different. I asked the students what differences they saw between the different types of dogs. Answers might include different colors, different fur/ hair, different sizes/body shape etc. This is A LOT OF INFORMATION! What do you think would be the best way for us to contrast these different types of dogs? I want the students to know that using a Venn Diagram is a good way to look at comparing two different things but is also a good way to contrast things. So we will use a Venn Diagram to contrast two different breeds of dogs. We will put all the pictures of dogs in a bucket and draw two out to determine which ones we will be contrasting.
4. Guided Practice: Student practice of new skill with help of teacher and/or peers. Here, the students should practice with your help or their peers help what you will ask them to do independently next.
Using the Promethean Board, present a Venn Diagram flip chart. Place the images of the two dogs that we are contrasting in the circles of the Venn Diagram. Make sure students know which two dogs are being contrasted. Call on children to tell me the difference between the two dogs and they will need to tell me where to put it on the Venn Diagram.
5. Independent Practice: Given after you have seen the child perform the behavior at about 80-85% accuracy in the guided practice. Allows the child to practice the new skill independently in a different context, situation, or activity. This activity should match your lesson objective and your assessment strategy.
I have shown the students how to contrast two dogs and I will have all the pictures of dogs displayed on a board. The students will go back to their seats and will work in pairs to contrast two types of dogs. They will have a work sheet and draw a picture of 6. Closure: Summarize information the ways student just learned and check for student two different dogs on the it and they will list to have how they are different. understanding by asking questions. Do not simply ask them if they had fun or tell them youll forward to seeing them again. You need to wrap up your lesson.
Lesson Plan Reflection (to are be completed after worksheets, you teach and should become included in your When the students done with their they would back up portfolio) as a group and they will present their page to the class. Ask the students what did we learn in our lesson today and call on students to tell what they learned 1. Student How did they the students react the lesson? they learn the todayPerformance: in the lesson. Make sure know that we to contrasted twoDid different material? do will you tell know? dogs How and we how they are different.
2. Teacher performance: Reflect on how well you delivered instruction. What went well and what did not? Why? What would you change? What would you keep the same? Which parts of the lesson were confusing and/or not helpful for the students?
