Use of Technology: None

Safety in the Physical Environment: None, the students will remain in their seats for the most part. Only getting up to act out the story.

List the Academic Language used in the Lesson Explain what a Venn diagram is.

Academic Language Explain how the Academic Language is scaffolded in the Lesson The students are using the Venn Diagram to write down similarities to their life and Noahs

Describe the Evidence that Students know and use Academic Language appropriately:

Assessment (Identify the type(s) of assessment used in this lesson and how it provides evidence that students will meet the objective(s). At least one type of assessment is required in a lesson plan.) Diagnostic (Pre-): Ask questions to see what the students know or dont know about the lesson. Formative: Observe what the students are doing Reflective: See what they have learned Summative: Discussion

Differentiating Instruction Identify the Element(s) of the Lesson that is Differentiated: Content Process Product Explain how it is Differentiated: Process: It is different because the way to learn the subject is different than normal. Identify the Student Characteristic that you will use to Differentiate: Student Readiness Explain how it is used to Differentiate: Student Interest: I will use this to see if the students are interested in this topic Student Interest Student Learning Profile

Lesson Plan Design 2012 Analyzing Teaching (Reflection):

If you could teach this lesson to the same group of students again, what are two or three things you would do differently to improve the learning of these students based on their varied developmental and academic needs and characteristics? Consider missed opportunities and other aspects of planning, instruction, and/or assessment.

Clearly state each change you would make.

Explain why and how you would change it.

Explain the difference it would make in student learning. Give evidence from your experience in teaching the lesson. It would allow students to be able to reflect more on themselves.

I would allow students to have more time to reflect on their own faith more and how it goes hand in hand with Noahs

I would give longer time in the lesson
