(Opening) Engagement activity (5 minutes) Put a description or notes for activity here.

Examples:
-- Direct instruction (12 minutes)
-- Lab (30 minutes) Put outline and scripted notes for direct instruction here.
-- Research (30 minutes)

(Closure) Check for understanding (3 minutes)

Differentiation/Modifications: How will you
provide students access to learning based on
individual & group needs (e.g. gaps in prior
knowledge, ELL, 504 plans IEPs, etc.)?

Assessment/Reinforcement: Include enough

detail so others can follow your thinking.
