Actions |
Student
The student will know that the natural world includes earth
materials |
Connect to Prior
Learning/Knowledge
Whole Group Discussion
|
Ask questions like, "If
you had magic glasses that let you see what this paper was
made from, what would you see?"
Record answers and ask for what they have
in common
Ask students to brainstorm other items that might fit in the
list |
Respond to questions (ex.
"I would see a tree when I looked at the paper with magic
glasses"
Decide what the items have in common
Brainstorm other natural resources |
Direct Instruction
Use of media/videos
Note Taking
Check for Understanding
Whole Group Discussion
|
Show Video- "Learning
About Natural Resource" from United streaming
Provide listening guide to students
Stop video after each section to discuss what students learned
about Natural resources |
Watch Video
Complete listening guide
Participate in discussion, correct or add to listening guide
as needed
|
| Paired Reading
Use of Technology
Collaboration
|
After Video add to the list
of resources if needed
Assign students to work in pairs to read Science Text pp.C88-91
to find more resources for the list
Provide computer lab time, explain how to
use Kidspiration to classify resources |
Contribute items to the list
of resources
Read with partner and add to list
Students classify resources as renewable nonrenewable, or
inexhaustible
|
| Small Group
Instruction, Use of Technology. Monitoring student work, Use
of Rubric, Collaboration |
Facilitate Groups- Each group
will trace the life cycle of a resource such as aluminum.
Groups research how it is collected, processed, products made
from it, use of products and how it is disposed
Create rubric for formal/informal assessment |
Groups complete research
and arrange the events in the correct sequence
Choose a means to display information such as Power Point,
Kidspiration diagram, etc.
Use rubric to self-assess and track progress |
| Student
Recognize that recycling saves resources |
Direct Instruction,
Probing Questions, Whole Group Instruction |
Remind students about 3 types
of resources. "Ask what could be the danger of carelessly
using Earth's materials"
Use guided questions as students read to find
out what recycling is and how it saves resources
(Science Text pp. C100-C104) |
Use prior knowledge to infer
answer to question
Participate in reading and discussion to discover what recycling
is and how it saves resources
|
| Small Group
Instruction, Use of Technology. Monitoring student work, Use
of Rubric, Collaboration |
Facilitate Group Projects-
Groups decide on a new product that can be created from recycled
items. The group must make a model of the product and create
an advertisement to sell the product
Provide rubric for formal/informal assessment
|
Groups chose a product to
create from recycled materials and write advertisement.
Groups make model of new product
Use productivity software to design advertisement
Use rubric to self-assess and track progress |
Teacher
Use instructional strategies that are technology enhanced and
provide for classroom management |
Use of Technology, Use of
Rubrics, Organization of class, Posting/explaining objectives.
Re-focus students to learning |
Download video from United streaming
Plan for group structure and guidelines
Create rubrics to be used as informal group assessment as
well as formal assessment
Teacher Observation
Lab preparation- Reserve time, Kidspiration and Productivity
Software
|
Teacher
Develop appropriate learning experiences for diverse learners |
Collaboration, Grouping Class,
Re-focus students to learning
|
Collaborate with
appropriate specialists to meet the needs of diverse learners

into instruction |
Organization of Class, Direct
instruction, Active participation, Summary/Closure
|
Organize resources,
prepare account information

enhance instruction
Provide hands on exploration of United Streaming
Reflection- ask "What did you learn today that you can
use tomorrow in your classroom? |
Professional
Use effective coaching strategies that encourage teachers to
develop goals for student-centered learning |
Collaboration, Wait Time,
Probing Questions |
Listen for key words in mentoring conversations and ask
questions that shift focus to student-centered learning
Paraphrase and clarify to confirm student centered learning
|
| Aspect
2: The Social System
Describe the interpersonal structure of the
instructional experience |
| As whole groups, students
will combine a list of resources from prior knowledge, watching
a video, and reading from their text. After understanding more
about resources and classifications, students will work in groups
to create a life cycle of a particular resource. Building upon
this knowledge the students will then discuss the idea of recycling
in a whole group. In groups students will create a new product
that is made from recycled materials. They must create an advertisement
that will boast of the new product's features. |

3: The Role of the Instructor
Describe your general instructional role. For
example, will you present material, guide students as the
research their own issues, etc. |
| The instructor will guide
