Special Accommodations (How will the special needs of individual students be

met?)
- One class is farther ahead than the other, so I need to keep that in mind when I am pacing
my students and keeping them on track with each other, so that they are on the same page
and are not getting too far ahead of eachother.
- Be aware of A block as the last period, they are talkative as it is so having them at the end
of the day isnt going to help very much.

References/Resources (include books, articles, websites, etc.)

Adapted worksheets from Mrs. Siegel

Opening (activator/instant activity)

Do Now: Students will be asked to write down all of the muscles and bones that they can
remember and where they are on their bodies. We will then make a big list on the board and we
will see if I can get the students to match the different bones that are listed to different Muscles
and see how much the students are able to see the similarities between all of these different
muscles and bones.

Procedures Step by step description of teaching

strategies/methods/pedagogy to be used. (Include time frame for each activity,

pair/share, etc.)
1. Do Now: Students will be asked to take out their assessments from the day before and
they will be finishing their cross words and word searches. Most of them are almost done
so it should not take too long for them to finish these up and move onto the last topic.
a. Should take the first 10 minutes of class
2. Diseases: I will then go through a powerpoint with the important diseases vocabulary
which includes the following: As a class we will go through the book together and find
all of the definitions of the following vocabulary terms and I will have a more group

3. Disease Project Overview: The students will then be shown the guidelines for their
disease project and they will be given a few minutes to look up different diseases they
may be interested in learning about. They will have the opportunity to look up and write
down three different choices that they may have for a disease they would like to research.
Along with that I will go over the requirements of the project and everything that will go
along with that.
a. This should take about 10 minutes
 4. Exit Slip: The students will hand in an exit slip with the three possible topics that they
would like to research for their disease project. Then me and Mrs. Siegel will go through
the topics and make sure everyone has a unique topic.
a. Should take the last 5 minutes of class.
