Learning Objectives/Goals
The lessons objectives and learning outcomes appropriate for meeting curricular and student
needs.
THINK: It must be measurable and appropriate for the students. For ideas on writing objectives
go here: http://www.las.illinois.edu/faculty/services/academy/resources/objectives/
The students will be able to read passage with fluency and accuracy. The student will engage

their meanings that are used in the passage

Assessment (type[s] of assessment used throughout the lesson)

Assessment(s) before, during, and after the lesson:
Think: It doesnt have to be a test it can be effective questioning, conferencing, pair share
what will you do?
Before: Pre-assessment:
The teacher will assess fluency and accuracy as students read the passage.
During: check for understanding:
The teacher will assess students comprehension of the passage.
After: exit slip or other assessment
The teacher will assess students knowledge of words and phrases in the text.
Lesson Structure and Procedures
Sequence of events of the lesson elements.
(The before, during, and after the lesson, e.g., Engagement/Opening, Procedures, Guided
Practice, Conclusion)
THINK: Madeline Hunter structure of lesson - http://iicti-part1fall2011.wikispaces.com/file/view/madeline+hunter's+lesson+plan+format.pdf
Anticipatory Set, Opening, Engagement:
Teacher will introduce the story by saying, Today we are going to read a mystery story that
will have you on the edge of your seat! Do you boys and girls enjoy reading mystery books? Can
you predict what this story might be about based upon the title?
Input, Procedures, Lesson:
Teacher says, Sometimes authors add clues to stories so that readers can use them to help
figure out the ending, and this is called foreshadowing. As we read I want you to see what clue
the author uses to help readers predict the ending of the story. Teacher will explain that the
students will read this passage out loud when it is their turn. Reading will start with the student
to the left of the teacher reading two paragraphs and then the student to the left of that
student will read the next two paragraphs and so forth.
Guided Practice:
Teacher will guide questions asking different students each time. When a student is struggling
with a question they will be prompted or asked to call on a friend. The teacher will ask, When
does this story take place? Uncle Thomas told Justin and Mary stories about what? Which word
best describes Uncle Thomas and why, scared, hard-working, lonely, creative? Why didnt
Justin and Mary take the boat out on the lake alone? How did the author use foreshadowing?
Do you think it was dangerous for Justin and Mary to venture out onto the boat dock, explain?
Independent Practice:
Teacher says, Now you boys and girls will unscramble each of these words on this worksheet
using the clues to help you figure out the word. All of the words are from the story and you
may refer back to the story to make sure each word is spelt correctly. I will give you a few
minutes to complete this and then we will discuss these words and their meanings.
Closure:
I want you all to think from here on out how to recognize foreshadowing when you come

across it in your readings and how you could add foreshadowing to your writing to make your
readers more engaged.
Instructional Strategies
Teacher approach to helping students achieve the learning objectives and meet their needs.
THINK: Marzano, Hattie, Kagan, Gardner, Flexible Grouping, Conferencing, etc. other best
practices
Marzanos Instructional Strategies: (Describe the instructional strategies used in this lesson
and explain how each one is used) Questions, Cues, and Advanced Organizers- Teacher will guide questions during post
reading.
Cooperative Learning- Students will take part in small group discussion.
Gardners Multiple Intelligences: (Describe the multiple intelligences used in this lesson and
explain how each one is used) Linguistic- Students will unscramble words using their word skills.
Interpersonal- Students will have to think for themselves when answering questions
and unscrambling words.
Intrapersonal- Students will take part in small group discussions.
Learning Modalities: (Describe the learning modalities used in this lesson and explain how
each one is used) Visual- learners will have their own copy of story to read and follow along while their
classmates are reading.
Auditory- learners will listen to classmates read parts of the story and listen to
discussions.
Learning Activities
Opportunities provided for students to develop knowledge and skills of the learning objectives
THINK: What will the students do? Could be independent or guided practice, group work,
research, read aloud, read to self, etc.
The students will read with fluency and accuracy, answer comprehension questions, and take
part in small group discussion.
Resources and Materials
List of materials used in the planning of and during the instruction of the lesson.
THINK: What do I need for the lesson? Make sure you include teacher and student resources
and materials.
Foggy Figure story
Foggy Figure unscramble worksheet
Pencil
Technology
Instructional and/or assistive technology incorporated into the lesson to enhance instruction
and student learning
THINK: Web2.0 tools, Interactive Whiteboard tools, Productivity tools, etc.

Differentiation/Accommodations/Modifications/Increase in Rigor
To help meet the needs of all learners, learning differences, cultural and language differences,
etc.
THINK: SIOP for ELLs, SPED, Gifted, small group/whole group, Blooms Taxonomy, Depth of
Knowledge, etc.
Small groups will be chose depending on skill level
Different story will be chosen depending on group and skill level
Thick and thin questions will be asked from Blooms Taxonomy
Struggling learners may use dictionary for vocabulary worksheet
Gifted learners will write out short answer (summary) on worksheet and then discuss
Classroom Management
Strategies consistent with the learning needs of the lesson that also meet student behavior
needs to help keep students on task and actively engaged
THINK: transitions, clear concise directions, task specific feedback, organized delivery,
procedures, engagement, developmentally appropriate and proper level of difficulty
Teacher will make sure students are on task and following along as other classmates
read.
Teacher will make sure questions are clear and understandable.
Teacher will make introduction of the book engaging and enjoyable to students.
Extensions
Activities for early finishers that extend students understanding of and thinking about the
learning objectives by applying their new knowledge in a different way
THINK: Blooms taxonomy, project based, inquiry based, small group, investigations, webquest,
long-term projects, menu of choices, etc.
Students who finish early will write a book review about the Foggy Figure. Students will give
the story a rating and explain why they rated it the way they did. Their review should persuade
the audience to read the story or not read the story based upon their opinion.
Follow-up to Todays Lesson
Quick activity for review or building on todays learning that will deepen student understanding
and interconnect concepts (may be incorporated tomorrow or throughout the unit)
THINK: How can my students link this to prior learning, make it relevant for them, AND use it in
the future?
Students will use the concept of foreshadowing in future writing assignments to engage their
readers like the author in this story did.
Additional Information
Any area or lesson component that may not have been covered by this format that you think is
vital to include in this lesson
o THINK: Reflective practice. Next time what will I do the same, differently?
What did I learn from this lesson that will help my students grow? What did I
learn from this lesson that will help me grow as an educator?

I learned from this lesson that even though questions are thought up to ask the students before
and after the reading, more questions come about with the way the discussion leads. This is

why it is important to leave extra time for conversation. Next time I will look up better ways to
describe the vocabulary words instead of using my own descriptions. All and all students really
enjoyed this story and the lesson.

This part will be completed after you teach the lesson.
