Millicent Atkins School of Education: Common Lesson Plan Template
Each of these learning resources will be used to help explain and show examples of each concept of figurative
language they are learning about.
Technology
Describe the instructional and/or assistive technology that you plan to incorporate into the lesson and explain how it
will enhance instruction and student learning.
The students will need to have access to the internet/wifi for this lesson. They will also need speakers/headphones.
The videos included in this lesson were selected to enhance the students’ understanding and comprehension of the
terms and concepts. Listening and watching the concepts be described simultaneously with most of the videos will
really reinforce the ideas behind each term. They will be able to learn from various instructors in addition to helping
themselves learn the concepts.
Accommodations: Base this on the information you provided for Classroom Demographics and
Knowledge of Students above.
Describe the accommodations/differentiation/modifications you will use to meet the needs of all learners
and accommodate differences in students’ learning, culture, language, etc. *
(Do not complete this section)
Pre-Assessment: Describe the instrument or process you will use to measure students’ level of
understanding toward the learning objective(s) prior to teaching the lesson.
The students will take a pre-assessment quiz consisting of identifying the various figurative language terms to see if
they know the examples before the lesson. (see below)
Pre-Assessment: Describe how the results of the pre-assessment (what the students have demonstrated
they know) will be used to design the lesson objectives, instruction, and post-assessment. (Include charts,
graphs if applicable)
I will encourage the students to take notes as they watch the videos in my instructions. I will also make sure the
students know that they must watch the videos to further enhance their understanding of each concept, even if they
think they know it.
Implementation
“I Do”
(Teacher introduces lesson and models expected outcome(s) of learning objectives)
Describe what instructional strategies you will use to model/explain/demonstrate the knowledge and skills
required of the objective.
This lesson is designed for students to complete the entirety of it remotely. The assessment quizzes will be
online along with the instructions, links to the resources, and the worksheet for them to fill out. I will lay
out the instructions of the whole lesson so that they can follow step-by-step what they need to be doing.
The students will first be instructed to take the pre-assessment quiz. This will be scored based on
participation – not accuracy. Once this is complete, I will direct the students to watch the first link and
have them continue with the lesson from there.
“We Do”
(Teacher engages students in guided practice)
Describe the learning activities you will use to provide students multiple opportunities to practice the skills and
content needed to meet the learning objective(s).
Since this is an entirely online lesson that is not synchronous, there are few opportunities for any teacher-
engaging practices. The students will be engaged with other instructors in the videos they are supposed to
watch. They will also be able to follow along with my instructions at their own pace as they go through the
lesson.
“You Do”
(Students engage in independent practice)
Describe what the students will do to independently practice the knowledge and skills required by the lesson
objectives?
My Instructions (What my students will see from me):
Hello Students,
This lesson is on figurative language concepts. There is a pretest and a post test for you all to complete.
The pretest is graded solely on completing it, not your actual score. However, the post test will be graded
based on the score you get. You will be watching video instructions and explanations on many terms to
better comprehend them. You will then be asked to create your own example of each – so take notes
while you are watching the videos and make sure to watch all the way to the end. Pause the video at your
convenience to make sure you can write things down without missing anything else. Have fun with this!
-Miss Schafer
Lesson Closing
Describe how you will reemphasize the lesson objective(s) and any skills/content that were taught in an
interactive manner (whole/small group, etc.).
The objectives will be reemphasized when the students receive feedback on their worksheets and pre and
post assessment quizzes. I will reiterate the importance of understanding these concepts throughout their
work. I will stress how they will be able to further comprehend pieces of literature with a good grasp on
these concepts. I will also stress how they can include these concepts in their own daily lives and/or
writing.
Post-Assessment: APPENDIX: Include a blank copy of the lesson post-assessment you will use to measure
students’ level of understanding toward the learning objectives after teaching the lesson.
This will be several questions examining what the students have taken away from each of the concepts. They should
be able to get them all correct if they performed the lesson as directed. It will be graded based on how many they
get correct, unlike the pre-assessment. (see below)
Analyze
Post Assessment: Based on the results of the Pre and Post-Assessment, to what extent did students achieve the
learning goals/objective of the lesson? Cite examples from the lesson plan, assessments, and/or video.
If applicable, insert a table/chart/graph before your explanation.
Provide an example of each of the following concepts of figurative language. Use what you have learned from each of
the videos to do this. Make sure to use YOUR OWN words so that you are creating YOUR OWN examples. Some samples
of each students’ will be selected and shared by me next class – so be as creative as possible and have fun with this!
