Instructional Plan Title:

Build a sight word using color cubs

Lesson Summary and Focus:

I want to see if the child can build a sight word using color cubes. The focus is on the structure of the word. I want to see if the child can use their hand, eye coordination as well as creativity to build new words

Classroom and Student Factors/Grouping:

Based on the classroom profile intend differentiate this lesson by limiting the words being used and introduced for some students. As well as incorporating a 3D computer program for the student that shows advancement. I have strong confidence that this assignment can be done individually without small group task.

National/State Learning Standards:

1.G.A.1

Distinguish between defining attributes versus non-defining attributes; build and draw shapes to possess defining attributes.

RF.1.2.B Orally produce single-syllable words by blending sounds (phonemes), including consonant blends.

L1.5.C

Identify real-life connections between words and their use.

Specific Learning Target(s)/Objectives:

· Students will have the opportunity to use creativity to make new words.

· Given the sample word and visual presentation of how to build, students will be able to independently make their word.

· The student should be able to stack words either upwards or flat on the table.

· Students will identify how many blocks it took to make their word.

· Student should be able to verbally repeat the word.

Academic Language

In order to teach students these words, I will incorporate them into our daily routine and class gathering opportunity. We can also use music and movement to learn the new words.

Resources, Materials, Equipment, and Technology:

List all supplies

· Flat surface

· Small color cubes

· Medium color cubes

· Large color cubes

· Soft color cubes

· Picture of sight words

· Computer or laptop

· Music

· Crayons

· Color paper

Anticipatory Set

Your goal in this section is to open the lesson by activating students’ prior knowledge…

· In order for me to open up prior knowledge, I would start by reading a book on building.

· After I read the book to the students there will be a small group activity that dives deeper into sight words

Time Needed

20 Minutes

Multiple Means of Representation

Learners perceive and comprehend information differently.

Explain how you will differentiate materials for each of the following groups:

· English language learners (ELL):

I will offer a translations into the student’s native language.

· Students with special needs:

I will offer different style of cubes like soft versus hard or small versus large.

· Students with gifted abilities:

I will expand the word list to new vocabulary to continue growth.

· Early finishers (those students who finish early and may need additional resources/support):

I will offer for the student to assist a classmate who may need on to one support.

Time Needed

30 minutes

Multiple Means of Engagement

Your goal for this section is to outline how you will engage students in interacting with the content and academic language.

Explain how you will differentiate activities for each of the following groups:

· English language learners (ELL):

I will use hands-on activities like building towers of 10 to support with the building of the words.

· Students with special needs:

I will use consistent visual and verbal instruction to engage the students by working in smaller groups if needed.

· Students with gifted abilities:

I will encourage the student to develop new strategies on building and allow them to explore.

· Early finishers (those students who finish early and may need additional resources/support):

I will have the students make or write a sentence using the word that was built.

Time Needed

30 minutes

Multiple Means of Expression

Learners differ in the ways they navigate a learning environment and express what they know. Your goal in this section is to explain the various ways in which your students will demonstrate what they have learned.

In a bulleted list, explain the options you will provide for your students to express their knowledge about the topic. For example, students may demonstrate their knowledge in more summative

Explain how you will differentiate assessments for each of the following groups:

· English language learners (ELL):

Students will be able to explain in either language how they built their word.

· Students with special needs:

I will allow students to verbally share and or draw a picture of the activity.

· Students with gifted abilities:

The students must write a detail step by step instruction plan on how the assignment was done.

· Early finishers (those students who finish early and may need additional resources/support):

The students will be allowed to draw a picture of the activity and help clean up the remaining blocks.

Time Needed

Extension Activity and/or Homework

Identify and describe any extension activities or homework tasks as appropriate.

At home students will have the opportunity to practice building the word that they learned at school or a word from the sight word list. The parents should take a picture of the word and send it to the teacher. Lastly, the student should make sight word cards for each classmate of the word they built at home.

Time Needed

15 minutes
