The following lesson plan is for First grade students and it is supposed to help them increase

their knowledge on reading and writing. The students will gain more knowledge about ‘The Ugly

Duckling’. In this lesson, the students are supposed to learn more about the characters and areas

such as morality. At the same time, the students should be able to learn about the central message

of the story.

Grade Level The following lesson plan is designed for the first-grade students and will act as a tool for teaching them more about the Ugly Duckling. The students will build on to the previous knowledge that they have on the book and help them in understanding the story, the characters, as well as the central message.

Instructional Model Teacher Modelling

The students will be invited to recall what they have previously led about the Ugly Duckling. The students will be called taught about the new terms and concepts that will be covered in the class. At the same time, the teacher will read aloud and engage the students in a question and answer session. the students will be told what is required of them and what they need to remember from the story. Independent Working Time The students will be provided with pencils, highlighters, and charts on the Ugly Duckling. The students will be required to work at highlighting the major characters at various parts of the story. At the same time, the students will be required to write short notes on the behavior of the students and why they acted in such a way. The students are also required to write notes on how their behavior affected the other characters in the story.

1. The students will gain

more knowledge about ‘The

Ugly Duckling’.

Question to think about: Is it

important that your students

gain more knowledge about

The Ugly Duckling OR that

they learn to ask/answer

questions to demonstrate an

understanding of a text,

recount stories, and describe

characters in a story?

Remember that the purpose

of a lesson plan is to organize

activities in a sequential

manner so that students

master the standards.

[Shelly Mize]

2. help them in

understanding the story,

the characters, as well as

the central message.

Good justification for why this

lesson is important to first

graders. [Shelly Mize]

3. Modelling

Showing examples and non-

examples or exemplars of

your expectations is a great

tool to use with first graders.

[Shelly Mize]

4. That analysis of

behaviors helps in

understanding of a story.

I'm not sure that first graders

(or their parents) would

understand what this means.

[Shelly Mize]

• The ugly Duckling is more than a story but a lesson on literature and behavior.

Students will UNDERSTAND • That each story has a moral.

Students will be able to DO • Students will be able to analyze the behavior of the characters. • Students will be able to relate one characters behavior and the effect it has on the others

in the story. Assessment Plan

Formative: During the reading of the story, it is important to assess that no student has been left behind and that each one of them is following the story keenly. The way to do this is engaging the students through a series of questions as one reads. There should be a question at the end of every 3 pages to gauge understanding. Questions such as “What causes the ugly duckling’s transformation” will lead to understanding whether the students are following. The students will also be required to answer questions on the behaviors of characters along the way. The critical sentences will be followed by questions on the characters. The students who do not understand the role of the exercise will be assisted through reading again and working with them along the way.

Summative: At the end of the lesson, every student will read the book again by themselves using pencils and highlighters to indicate the main points. At the same time, each student will be required to write down notes describing each of the characters. The students will also explain the behavior of the characters and how it ended up affecting the others. The students will at the same time be required to highlight all of the characters in the book in the main charts. If any of the students struggle in this exercise, they will be guided by the teacher in completing it and understanding what it is about.

Accommodations The teacher will ensure that reading is slow to accommodate the students who are ELs and those who are slow in understanding. There will be small groups among the students so that the Els can be assisted by the non-ELs in completing of the given tasks. The teacher will go round the class checking the students who are unable to complete the tasks in class and offer guidance.

Enrichments The students who are excelling in class can write a short essay on the Ugly Duckling and how the character evolved throughout the story. The students can also be challenged to additional complete additional questions on the book that will eb provided.

Procedure

1. Review previously learned material The students will be gathered in small groups of three who will be working together.

1. The ugly Duckling is

more than a story but a

lesson on literature and

behavior.

This is not measurable.

[Shelly Mize]

2. That each story has a

moral.

Every story does not have a

moral. [Shelly Mize]

3. Students

Your objectives need to tie

back to your standards and

must be measurable. [Shelly

Mize]

4. The teacher will go round

the class checking the

students who are unable to

complete the tasks in class

and offer guidance.

This is a great strategy and

ALSO formative

assessment!!!! :) [Shelly

Mize]

5. short essay

Remember this is first grade.

Do you really anticipate that

they can write an essay?

Could they do a character

assessment using a different

book?

Think about enrichment as

extending learning, digging

deeper, needing a bit more

challenge but not necessarily

more work (being smart

shouldn't be a

punishment)...these are

students who would be

capable of focusing on

another DO objective. It could

be taking the learning to a

different level by creating a

how-to video, etc. [Shelly

Mize]

The small groups will be asked questions on what they remember regarding the last lesson on the Ugly Duckling. The students will answer questions on the characters whom they remember from the story.

2. State objectives of the lesson The students will be introduced to several words that help explain the behavior of several characters. The students will know that they should understand what is moral and how the behavior of each character affects the others.

3. Present new material The students should be divided into small groups. Each group needs to be provided with markers and a chart paper. Each of the groups will summarize the story in 3 sentences. They can also sketch various parts of the story.

4. Guided practice The students should answer the following questions: - What leads to the Ugly Duckling being transformed? - What is the moral behind the story? - How does the author get his ideas and develop them to make the story?

5. Independent practice Each student will be provided with pencils and highlighters. The students should highlight all the characters who have been mentioned at all stages of the story, beginning, middle, and the end charts. The students should put down notes on the behavior of the characters including reasons why they are behaving in such a manner. The students should also show how the behavior of some characters affects others.

Technology Tools

The teacher will make use of a smartboard when reading the story. The students will be provided with interactive books including audio books so that they can understand the story better (Donovan, 2018).

Conclusion

The students will learn how to identify the behavior of different characters as well as morality in

stories. The students will get guided practice in understanding the story and identifying the

behaviors of several characters and how they affect the others in the story. The objective is to

make sure that the students identify the moral of the story, analyze the characters, and make a

summary.

1. The

There is no mention of

technology at all in the

procedure section of your

lesson plan. Remember this

is a technology integration

class, so your lesson plan

should "ooze" with cool tech

integration. [Shelly Mize]

2. Technology

Lori, I really need for you to

"dig deeper" in terms of tech

integration. Using a smart

board and audio books is

barely scratching the surface.

Think creatively. Think

outside of the box. Have you

looked for any videos that

compliment your standards?

GoNoodle has some cute

ones! You might also be able

to find something on

TeacherTube. [Shelly Mize]
