The student that answered the question correctly has the opportunity to earn an extra point for their team by shooting the basketball into the hoop from the free throw line.

Closure: Discuss how students felt about the test and answer any further questions students have, F. Assessment: What will you use to measure student understanding? I will use the Unit 5 Test in order to assess students understanding of the concepts. Students will choose to either work individually or with a partner to complete the assessment. They will also be allowed to use a book for this assessment. Explain how you will know students understand the concepts from the lesson. Students will be able to describe the difference between rural, suburban, and urban regions in the West through their answers on the Unit 5 test. G. Reflection: 1.

The rules of the Basketball Review game will be the most challenging to teach. 3. How will you follow up or extend this lesson? I will extend the lesson the next day through a geography project. 4. What will you do for students who dont grasp the concepts? After the test is graded, as a whole class we will go over the correct answers. 5.

The most difficult part of this lesson plan was definitely the standard. I had such a hard time finding one standard that would meet the goals of this lesson in a comprehensive manner.
