 Hunter's   Detailed Notes                                                                                                                      7 Step Lesson Plan 
                                    

   O. Use of Prime Time "
                      Review  with administrivia
                      questions  sentences   problems
   I. Anticipatory set (Hook)
                    set induction - interest motivation
                    problems - discrepancy - play - drama
                    artifacts - puzzle - humor - joke - poem
                    engage emotions - music - story
                    brain storm - film - short field trip - demo
   2. Purpose/Objective
        tell students what it is they will learn and why
 
   3. Information
                                             
A. Determine basic information & organize it
temporal / cause-effect / sequence /categories / hierarchy /compare contrast
                                  

 B. Present in simple & clear form
 leave exceptions for later
                            

C. Stimulus Variation
 1. Kines ic teacher movement
 2. Focusing - prompting
     
verbal > look listen follow observe 
     nonverbal > pointer, nod, mouth, eyebrows, hands, body
 3. Shift interaction
        T/ TS/ SS/ Alone
 4. Pausing/Wait time
 5. Shift senses
      touch, smell, look, listen 

4. Modeling
                                                                                                                                                   
 
It is facilitating for students to not only know about, but to see examples of a finished product (poem, diagram, graph) or a process (weave, kick a ball)
           I. highlight critical attributes
           2. avoid controversial issues
           3. accurate & unambiguous
           4. introduce non examples
 

 5. Checking for Understanding
      This step is a very important but often neglected part of the process.

a. Sampling: Posing questions to the total group, and then getting answers from  representative members of the group.


b. Signaled responses from each member of the total group. Showing that number of
fingers. thumbs up or down for "agree" or "disagree", to the side for "not sure".
                                                                 
c. Individual private response, usually written or whispered to teacher so each student is accountable.
                        

6. Guided Practice
                                 Initial attempts of new learning should be 
                                 carefully guided, teacher must circulate 
                                  among students.
7. Independent Practice
                                 Student can perform without major errors,
                                 discomfort, or confusion.

 

Sample Lesson Plans

Lesson Plan 1

 

Industrial Revolution 

Ashlee Copper, Sonia Lloyd, & Clifford Thomas

 

Anticipatory Set

Have you ever spent a whole day working really hard? Perhaps spring cleaning, or a car wash to make money where not many people showed up to help.

During the Industrial Revolution, many people your age worked in factories 12 hours a day 6 days a week.   How did you feel after working hard all day?

What can you tell me about the Industrial Revolution?

What would the world be like today if there were no Industrial Revolution?

What inventions took place during the industrial revolution?

Objectives and Purpose: stated to students

 Today the class is going to enter an exciting time in history known as the Industrial Revolution. The purpose of this lesson is to give you a few ideas and a brief overview of that period.

Information

The Industrial Revolution of the 18th century was a period of social and technological change in which manufacturing began to rely on steam power and other alternatives rather than wind and waterpower.

The application of power driven machinery to manufacturing.

 

What can you tell me about the Industrial Revolution?

What would the world be like today if there were no Industrial Revolution?

What inventions took place during the industrial revolution?

 

Today, I just want to give you a brief overview of the Industrial Revolution, and some of the ways it has impacted our lives

1.Textile mills, conditions were bad, Factories were un-sanitary. Injuries to workers were common even deaths. Rats were shoveled into vats with the meat.

 Use the Overheads to co ensign with the examples 

Who knows about Robert Fulton?

As a young man Fulton went to Paris to become a painter (didn’t work out)

Became engineer and inventor. Designed a submarine. Nautilus (1798)

Stayed under water 24 hours at 25 feet and had a torpedo (box of dynamite)

Brought a steam engine back from Paris- hooked it to 2 paddles which made

The Clermont float the Hudson River in (1807) 5 mph up-river

           

Alexander Graham Bell:

Sunday June 25th, 1876 on the 100th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, Which also happens to be the day of the battle of the little big horn or as it is called Custer’s Last Stand, Alexander Graham Bell demonstrated the telephone.

He tried hooking a piece of straw to a dead man’s ear in his attempts.

When someone asked him what kept him going after he failed more than 100 times,

He replied, I didn’t fail, I simply  found 100 ways it wouldn’t work.

Bell went on to build an 8 cylinder airplane, water cooled that flew 40 mph and ½ mile on it’s maiden voyage.

Bell designed and built a hydrofoil watercraft for the government.

Bell compressed a magnetic field on a flat disk, which we call a CD Rom today. 

Robert Stirling (1790-1878) 

Patented his Heat Economizer in 1816. His engines were designed for use where steam engines were dangerous. The Stirling engine is efficient and wont blow up like a combustion engine. The engines are run by a temperature displacement. They are efficient as a hybrid engine. Ford and GM have spent millions of dollars studying the Stirling and GM actually built one several years ago in a car. It was deemed a failure because it was to efficient. It would run on anything from salad oil to cow chips. Their reasoning to trashing the plan was that it took 20 seconds to heat up and the American people want to turn the key and go.

The Stirling is being used today in submarine and yacht construction where quiet running engines are preferred. 

Modeling:

Now I will demonstrate how the Stirling engine works be showing a couple of models I created. These are working engines. As I demonstrate these models, I will recap on the lesson today, and how it affects our daily lives. I will ask for input from the class 

Check for understanding

Have a question and answer game with information on  blocks of wood or bricks containing a number on the bottom and having questions that correlate with the numbers. When they draw the number they must tell about the question in 30 seconds or less. 

Guided Practice 

To help students grasp what it would be like to live during the Industrial Revolution, they will be asked to repeatedly carry the bricks or blocks across the room while answering questions concerning the lesson. 

Independent practice

Students will be asked to write a paragraph describing what their life would be like if they lived 200 years ago.

Origami Lesson Plan

Madeline Hunter Lesson Plan Format

Grade Level and Time Frame: Adults-30 minutes 

Topic: Origami and the educational benefits of it in the classroom 

Goals and Objectives:

            TLW be able to cut and fold origami correctly and efficiently

            TLW be able to list the educational benefits of origami 

Materials: Origami handouts, scissors, tape

Anticipatory Set:

            Karate skit with origami throwing stars for weapons.  Tell origami joke about the origami business. 

Purpose and objectives stated to students:

            Today we are going to learn the basics for following origami instructions for cutting and folding, as well as learn the educational benefits of doing origami in the classroom. 

Information/Modeling: Steps (time)

1.  Put origami overhead for throwing stars up and instruct students on where proper folds are made

2.  Students begin work on throwing stars guided by the teacher, with teacher observing the entire class and assisting students when needed

3.  When class has completed their origami project, a review/discussion of the steps involved and main concepts should be conducted

4.  Teacher will ask students what they see as the possible educational benefits of origami, and make a list of these ideas on the board

5.  Students individually rank the educational benefits of origami, writing them out in a list format 

Check for Understanding

Teacher will ask individual students about their reasons for ranking the educational benefits 

Guided Practice

            In groups of 2-4 students share their lists and reasoning with each other 

Independent Practice

            Students are given a second origami handout, a jumping frog, to fold on their own.  When the frog is completed, each student is to write their favorite educational benefit of origami on the frog’s back 

Evaluation

            Teacher will observe student understanding based on their final origami folding and statement written on folding
