Daily Lesson Plan (Template)

Name: Caitlin Gills Date: 3/04/21

Subject: Language Arts Topic: Reading

Grade: 4th Length of Lesson: 30-45 minutes

The Big Idea:


Can students place events with the story in order (skill of sequencing) and connect the essential
question to themselves?
Essential question: How do people and animals benefit each other?
Domain: Reading

Cluster: Craft and Structure

Standard: ELA.4.11
Describe the overall structure (e.g., chronology, comparison, cause/effect, or
problem/solution) of events, ideas, concepts, or information in all or part of an informational
text.
Specific Objective:
The student will demonstrate mastery of the lesson’s standard by being able to demonstrate the
skill of sequencing with 90% accuracy measured by whole group activity and end of lesson
test.

Introduction:
When beginning the lesson, the teacher will tell the students that they will be reading the short
story at the end of their original story. This story is called “Knowing Noses: Search and Rescue
Dogs.” The teacher will ask the students “What do you think this story is going to be out?” The
teacher will also have the students look at the picture to elaborate and make predictions. The
teacher will also tell the students that an SAR Dog stands for “search and rescue.” The teacher
will ask the student, “Have you ever seen a search and rescue dog?” “Why are search and rescue
dogs important?” “What types of jobs are SAR Dogs are known for (officers)?” The teacher will
have a discussion then move on.
Method(s):
During this time of this lesson, many different learning methods will be utilized for students
benefit. Discussion, questioning (divergent, evaluative), whole group activity, formative
assessment.

Materials:
Materials will include reading "Knowing noses: Search and Rescue Dogs" and discuss the topic
and questions, Student Book: 494-511, Teachers Manual: T90-103.
Direct Instruction/Warm-Up Activity/Presentation/Model Lesson/Make Connections:
To continue the lesson from the introduction, the teacher will have students analyze the cover of
the text along with its title “Knowing Noses: Search and Rescue Dogs.” The teacher will ask
students “What all “jobs” can a dog have that would benefit a person?” “How can people help
dogs (benefit)?” “What does benefit mean?” The teacher will also explain to the students that
this texts genre is informational. The teacher will begin reading the book by having students take
turns reading.
Guided Practice:
For guided practice students will continue reading. As students read, the teacher will stop to ask
questions. These questions will deal with the skill of sequencing and other criteria. The teacher
will ask students, “What is a Search and Rescue dog?” Can you summarize the passage we just
read?” (summarize the passage to your partner – this can help with sequencing) The teacher will
also cover vocabulary words as the students read. The teacher will be sure to check for
understanding of the story by continuing to ask questions, choose different phrases, asking about
context clues, and so forth (analyze the text). The teacher will also discuss the terms of an
informational text which are structure, main idea, detail, and domain-specific word.
Independent Practice:
Independent practice will include finishing the story and actively participating throughout
discussions and answering/asking questions. Independent practice will mainly include teacher
modeling and having students engaged through the reading lesson.

Differentiation:
The teacher will differentiate the lesson by being sure to follow any IEP/504 recommendations
for accommodations/modifications for students who receive special education services.
Accommodations will be provided for other students with specific needs such as, giving more
explicit instruction, checking on this student more frequently, adjusting practices, or allotting
more time for activities.
Evaluation/Assessment:
The teacher will formatively assess the students through the questions asked throughout the
reading lesson. Formative assessment will also include a comprehension test at the end of the
lesson/week. The teacher will also use whole group discussions to engage the students. The
teacher will also be observant throughout the short lesson to monitor students understanding.
Summative assessment will include the student’s ability to participate and comprehension
throughout reading. Any corrective and positive feedback will be provided to the students.

Wrap-Up (Lesson Closure) /Concluding Activity:


To conclude the activity, the teacher will ask questions of “What is a SAR dog?” “What are their
jobs?” “Have you ever met a service animal or SAR dog or seen one on a movie/tv show?” “Can
you relate our main story to our short story?” Essential question: How do people and animals
benefit each other?
The teacher will wrap up the lesson by having an open discussion.
