California Common Core State Standards
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.L.5.4.A- Use context (e.g., cause/effect relationships and
comparisons in text) as a clue to the meaning of a word or phrase.
H-SS 5.5.1- Understand how political, religious, and economic ideas and interests
brought about the Revolution (e.g., resistance to imperial policy, the Stamp Act, the
Townshend Acts, taxes on tea, Coercive Acts).
Goal of this Unit/Lesson:
The learning goal for this lesson is to review content that has been taught and
discussed in the last three lessons and have students show what they have learned in
activities provided.
Student Objective(s):
Students will draw from experiences in previous lessons and activities by taking
what they have learned and apply it in the review lesson. The goal is for me to see
how students are understanding the content and grasping what I have taught and
what I need to reteach or extend in future lessons throughout the unit.
Academic Language:
American Revolutionary War Vocabulary, Terminology, Academic Language
Cause and Effect
Students have been discussing and looking at the events that led up to the
Revolutionary War. Students have developed vocabulary and terminology relating to
the war and the important events that caused this war to occur. Students have been
working on various activities and projects to establish information and
understanding of this war that changed our nation’s history. We have been sharing
our own life experiences and academic experiences during this new unit. Students
have been watching videos and looking at images to paint an illustration in what this
war and events actually looked like thousands of years ago.

Kahoot!
Chromebooks
Smartboard
Clear learning expectations will be addressed and given at the beginning of the lesson. Class
Do Jo points will be given to students who are participating, following directions, being
respectful and considerate to their peers and teacher. Paws Tickets will also be handed out to
students to reinforce positive behavior and establish a safe encouraging learning
environment. Students will lose 5th grade activities for assignments that are incomplete.
I do (Teacher Modeling):
I will facilitate the Kahoot! game with my students.
During writing, I will support students understanding of the prompt by organizing
thoughts and ideas on a graphic organizer and identify what the question is asking
them.
We do (Guided Practice):
Students will play an online review game assessing their knowledge and trivia on the
American Revolution. Students will have time to collaborate with peers on certain
questions and use their prior knowledge to review content and material on the topic
of the American Revolution.
You do (Independent Practice)
Students will then write about the cause an effect between the three events that we
have been talking about. Answer the prompt: “How did colonist try to rebel against
the British King during the first couple events that led to the Revolutionary War?
Discuss the causes and effects that occurred between these events.”
Understanding/Learning Target: (Learning Context)
Blooms Taxonomy/ Depth of Knowledge: Questions that are student directed will incorporate
critical thinking processes and have them think why mathematical equations involve multiple
steps and have students identify how they solved each problem. What strategy did they use to
solve and came to the conclusion that they did? They will find purpose and reasoning from
the activity of division using decimals through the questions I ask them and the assignment
they complete.
ELL: For ELL students I will repeat instruction, use corrections for solving math concepts
with guidance and offer my students additional time to understand a concept if needed. I will
also check for understanding and have students practice concept of decimal division.
Students will practice what they have learned by solving equations to practice and support
understanding. A hands-on activity and game will also support students in a tangible and
tactile way.
Other Instructional Challenges: For my students with instructional challenges, I will give
brain breaks, extra processing time and direct instruction which will aid my students in this
lesson. Additional guided support, framing each step in solving such problems and breaking
 apart what is required first next and last in solving multiplication and division problems will
help students outline what is needed in order.

Other Life Challenges: For students with life challenges offer students additional time to
process information, give direct expectations on what is desired from the objective of the
lesson also check and identify the needs of the student and continually assess for
understanding.

Closing I will end this lesson with, “Today we reviewed the events that led up to the Revolutionary
How will you end the War. We also learned about the causes and effects that occurred from one event to the next.”
lesson?
Culminating activity or task Thumbs up thumbs down-do you feel like you are understanding the content that we are
discussing and have been talking about? Do you feel like you need more practice with this
information and still confused about the events that initially started the American
Revolution?

Assessment
Formal and informal Students will be evaluated by their understanding of content and material through their
assessments. writing samples and the responses I receive from their answers in the game Kahhot!
How will students be
evaluated? How will you
know if the students attained
what you expected? What
evidence will be available to
show learning took place?
What will you change in the
future to support further
growth?
