Instructional Lesson Methods and Assessment
Anticipatory Set
1.      I will introduce the lesson by asking students what they like about living in America. After a brief discussion about what the students love, I will play a video.
2.      After the video I will ask what they thought of the places and if they recognized any of them in the video.
3.      I will then ask why these places are special to the United States of America.

 1.3      Provide alternatives for visual information
·         I will email the students the link to the video. This has the words from the book. Students can choose to listen to it for reference, instead of the book.
 6.1      Guide effective goal setting
·      I will explain what the students are going to have to do during the lesson. We will go over the goals for the lesson. They will be written on the board for the class to see. They can also refer to this list, if they lose focus.
 8.1      Heighten salience of goals and objectives
·      I will make sure to point out the goals that the class has for the day, which will be posted in the front of the classroom. I will then encourage students to write their own goals or objectives.
 3.1      Provide or activate background knowledge
·      I will ask the students what the like about America. This will help them to identify with what the video is showing.  


Introduce and Model New Knowledge 
·          Students will go a back or front carpet. This is where I will introduce the book that we are going to be reading.
·         I will briefly discuss adjectives. I will talk about how they are descriptive. I will ask the students to pay close attention to find the adjectives in the story.
I will then read the book to the students.

 1.2      Provide alternatives for auditory information
I will provide a copy of the words from the poem. This will help students who have trouble hearing. It will also provide students with examples of descriptive words.
 4.2      Provide varied ways to interact with materials
·   Students will be able to refer to both the book and the video to study the material.
 7.3      Reduce threats and distractions
·   The students will be in one group on a carpet. I will need to be aware of which students could cause problems or distractions in the group. These students need to be told where to be seated. I will go over the classroom rules before I begin the lesson. This will help reinforce the classroom behavior.

 4.3      Integrate assistive technologies
·   I will make sure to use an Elmo to help make the text larger. I will also use a microphone to help with auditory issues.
 9.2      Scaffold coping skills and strategies
·   After I read the rules before the lesson, I will ask how we can deal with disruptive behavior. I will ask what the appropriate response is if someone is disturbing the students.

Guided Practice 
·          As a class, we will go through the book again.
o   This time, we will highlight all of the words that describe America.
·         I will then show different pictures of America. I will allow the class to discuss what they think about the different American places.
o   Students will have to come up with different descriptions to describe the pictures.
·         We will then discuss how some of the words could be applied to Arkansas.
o   We will talk about the specific elements that would qualify that word to describe Arkansas.
·         I will then show some pictures of Arkansas and see what vocabulary they can come up with.

 2.1      Define vocabulary and symbols
·   When we are highlighting the words that describe America, we will be reviewing the vocabulary words in the story.  

 5.1      Allow choices of media for communication
·         Students will be allowed to listen to the video, or look at the book as a reference.
 7.2      Enhance relevance, value, and authenticity
·   I will explain to the students that it is important to value the place where you live. I will explain what happens when someone is negligent to their home.
 3.2      Highlight critical features, big ideas, and relationships
·         We will be highlighting the words in the book that are describing America. This will set up some knowledge for students when they need to describe Arkansas later.




Independent Practice 
·          Students will return to their desk.
·         They will be seated in groups of three or four.
·         Students will work in their groups to come up with words that would describe Arkansas.
·         They will make a list of things that make Arkansas unique, working off their list of descriptive words.

 3.3      Guide information processing
·         I will continue to ask questions during the group work. This will help make sure students are on task and understand what their task is.
 6.3      Facilitate managing information and resources
·      The students will make list on a piece of paper. This will help them to have a specific set of words to work with on their writing assessment.
 8.2      Vary levels of challenge and support
·         I will start out helping the students with the descriptive words, but by the end of the lesson, they should be coming up with their own words to describe Arkansas.







Wrap-up 
·           We will end with a discussion about the different words that they chose for a description.
·         I will write some of the examples on the board.
·         I will then introduce the assessment.

 2.5      Illustrate key concepts non-linguistically
·   The students will be able to associate the pictures in the book and the examples provided in the lesson with the adjectives that we discuss in class.
 6.2      Support planning and strategy development
·      This activity is supposed to help students prepare for the written assessment. These words should provide ways for students to plan what they will say in their informative text.
 8.3      Foster collaboration and communication
·   The students will be working together with a group. They will be encouraged to participate in the group. Hopefully, the students will feed off of each other to come up with some descriptive words to use.







Assessment 
Formative (Informal – must be a written assessment)
·          Students will write an informative paper that describes what makes Arkansas important to the United States of America.
o   They will be able to look at the different examples that they made and that are written on the board.
o   They will have to support their answers with at least two supporting details.
o   They will also have to include a conclusion.
·         After the students have written their responses in their writing journals, we will have a classroom discussion.
o   We will discuss the factors that make Arkansas a unique place to live.

 4.4      Support memory and transfer
·         I will make sure to have the examples that we have come up with as a class on display. This will help the students to know the kind of words we are looking for, and help them recall the discussion we had that will help them write and informative text explaining what makes Arkansas beautiful.
 5.2      Provide appropriate tools for composition and problem solving
·         Students will be given all of the tools and materials they will need to compose an informative text. There will be a copy of the book to refer to. I will send them a link of the video.
 7.1      Increase individual choice and autonomy
·         Students will be able to choose what words they want to describe Arkansas. They can choose to include an illustration to accompany their text.
