Desiree Castro EDU/311CA: Models And Theories Of Instruction April 22, 2024 Week 2: Lesson Plan Analysis What components are essential to a good lesson plan? Describe each component and its purpose. Many components are essential to a good lesson plan such as identifying the learning objective per each subject, planning specific activities, and gathering materials. Being able to assess the student’s understanding and of course, creating a realistic timeline per subject area. The purpose of identifying the learning objective is to provide the learner with what they can do after completing this lesson. The purpose of planning specific activities is to have the learner be able to practice and gain knowledge towards this specific learning objective. The purpose of assessing the student's understanding is to see if the student is grasping what is being taught or if further instruction is necessary. This ties in with meeting grade-level standards. This can be done by taking a test, or even writing a paper. The purpose of creating a realistic timeline per subject area is to be flexible and allow for extra questions or concerns during these lessons. What components are present in each lesson? The components that are present in the second-grade lesson plan are times per subject area and listed standards per lesson. There are also specific activities listed as well as quizzes to assess knowledge. The components that are present in the fourth-grade lesson plan are specific standards per subject listed, time ranges per lesson indicated. What components are lacking in each lesson? The components that seem to be lacking in the second-grade lesson plan are the learning objectives. The components that seem to be lacking in the fourth-grade lesson plan are learning objectives, as well as specific activities for each listed subject. I also don’t see any assessments listed to check the knowledge of the students. Which learning style or instructional approach (i.e., direct or indirect) does each lesson use? The second-grade lesson plan seems to be using a direct instructional approach. The fourth-grade lesson plan seems to be using both direct and indirect instructional approaches. It does show that the direct approach is used when they will be discussing facts and opinions in a passage that is listed under the reading subject. What instructional strategies are present in each lesson? Explain the purpose for each strategy identified. Some instructional strategies that are present in the second-grade lesson plan are guided instruction. You can see this where it shows groups, as
well as when it states for students to add notes. The purpose of guided instruction is to promote interaction between the students, and occasionally the teacher. Another instructional strategy seen is problem- solving. The purpose of this instructional strategy is to have the students find a solution while working through a problem. This also allows for critical thinking to be developed. Some instructional strategies that are present in the fourth-grade lesson plan are active learning. You can see this in the lab portion of social studies where the students are to continue research. The purpose of this instructional strategy is to encourage the student to be actively involved in the process. Another instructional strategy that is present is graphics. More specifically using and understanding graphic organizers. This can be seen in the reading subject. The purpose of this instructional strategy is for a student to be able to visualize information and organize their thought process. What is the actual or potential role of technology in each lesson? The actual or potential role of technology in the second-grade lesson plan can have a positive effect on students being able to be involved in active learning. The actual or potential role of technology in the fourth-grade lesson plan can implement growth if allowed to complete their research in social studies subject. Being able to use Google Classroom to keep and submit all their work in one area would create a new opportunity to engage. What conclusions did you draw from comparing these 2 lesson plans? Some conclusions I drew from comparing the two lesson plans were that they were similar in the fact that they included time ranges and subject standards. They were different in the amount of work described as well as the listed objective of learning. There seems to be a leap of knowledge introduced from second grade to fourth grade.
