students to learn right now in your class? (TPE 1.3, 2.6, 3.2)
Prior to this lesson, students will have participated in a read-aloud of the literary text, Luke Goes to Bat, by Rachel
Isadora. Engaging the class in a guided reading of the text will help to develop their reading comprehension through
answering literal, inferential, and evaluative questions. Furthermore, students have had repeated exposure to
sequencing as they have previously analyzed fictional stories to identify the beginning, middle, and ending. However,
students have depended heavily on teacher support which is why additional practice with sequencing is necessary to
foster independence.
In terms of background knowledge for the story, Luke Goes to Bat, the class is currently involved in a baseball unit for
PE. Students are familiar with how to play the game as well as the baseball-related terminology. In addition, we have
talked about Jackie Robinson as a class.
Student-Friendly Translation:
Yesterday, you were introduced to the story, Luke Goes to Bat, through a read-aloud. Today, we are going to take a
deeper look at the story as we read and discuss it together. We will also identify the sequence, or order, of events.
Remember, on our story summary sheets, you have had lots of practice writing the beginning, middle, and ending of
other stories.

The class is represented by students with diverse cultural and linguistic experiences, with half of the students having
visited or lived in another country. While many of the students have been exposed to languages other than English, a
few being fluent in Georgian and Mandarin, English remains the dominant language in the class. Another
commonality among members of the class is that they come from families with high socioeconomic status. Family
units are stable, supportive, and complete as most students live at home with both parents and a sibling.
Socio-emotional developmental (SEL) factors that may influence instruction in this academic area
Overall, the class consists of students with mild personalities who demonstrate reputable character traits. They have
a healthy social awareness as they are sensitive and welcoming to people of all sociocultural backgrounds. Moreover,
their compliance to social behavioral norms and their ability to acknowledge other people’s emotions is
commendable. For the most part, students work well together in partner and group activities by demonstrating their
active listening and communication skills. Nonetheless, there is still room for improvement with their interpersonal
skills because part of the class is more reserved than others during discussions.
Some areas of concern include the class becoming distracted as well as talkative during a lesson. A few students have
developed the habit of shouting out words that do not contribute to a positive and productive learning environment.

In addition, they frequently preoccupy their hands with a variety of off-task behaviors during a lesson, such as
drawing on their mini-whiteboards and coloring on their worksheets, despite being asked to stop multiple times.
Maintaining eye-contact during direct instruction is also a challenge. These reasons indicate opportunities for
growth in self-management and responsible decision-making.
Most students in the class are interested in sports, with several currently playing on teams such as soccer and
softball. Dogs and other animals are major topics of fascination as well as art. Becoming future veterinarians or
professional athletes are common aspirations of the class. Moreover, every student loves reading and has expressed
their enthusiasm about the books they are invested in. Dog Man books are popular choices.
Opportunities to address challenges (such as misunderstandings or misconceptions) related to the learning objective
and lesson (using Growth Mindset Language): This section is the bridge between the concerns for individual students
identified in Section 7 and how this will play out in the context of the actual classroom setting and the lesson plans you are
currently preparing. Based on the information above, what difficulties may students have with the content? Specify
anticipated difficulties for English language learners, students with special needs, or students with unique needs. Work to
connect your information based on the student’s IEP, behavioral plan, and/or observations by the teacher and teaching
candidate. (TPE 1.4, 1.6, 2.1, 3.5, 4.4)
Since I have two students classified as beginning in ELA and one English language learner, they may struggle with
identifying the correct sequence of events. I am anticipating needing to pause at various points during instruction to
check for understanding and adjust the pace and complexity of instruction accordingly. I may need to provide
additional clarification and examples to ensure that my lowest-performing ELA students and EL student can
succeed.
During the interactive and engaging activities, I am expecting the class to have some difficulty staying focused on the
content as they might become chatty and distracted. Furthermore, I am concerned that some students may not
actively participate in peer discussions or only provide limited responses.
Furthermore, I am anticipating my student with unique circumstances (FS3) to need more support with the writing
aspect of the poster activity. I plan guide him with strategic questions and prompt him with sentence frames to help
him communicate his thoughts effectively. Regarding my students with speech impairments, their IEP plans do not
specify any modifications to instruction. However, I am prepared to restate their answers to provide clarification for
the class and to model desired speech. Should they seem rushed in speaking, I will kindly ask them to slow down and
articulate clearly, providing auditory supports. I will not highlight any disfluencies to embarrass them but rather
encourage breathing and pausing during “bumpy” speech.

2. Differentiation for Special Needs: Tie it to the specific needs of your students. (TPE 3.5, 4.4)
- For my students with speech-impairments, I will provide ample time for them to discuss each topic with
their elbow partners so they do not feel rushed and can communicate in more relaxed circumstances. I will
also encourage students to take turns talking so that each child can share their thoughts without being
interrupted. In addition, to boost my SPED students’ confidence in their speaking abilities, I plan to
frequently call on them when they are raising their hands to answer in front of the class. When they
respond, I will listen patiently and restate what they say in a slower, clearly articulated way, providing
auditory supports. I will not highlight any disfluencies to embarrass them but rather encourage breathing
and pausing during “bumpy” speech.
- According to their IEPs, there are no required modifications; however, I will support them in their learning
using the methods listed above.

2. Self-Assessment: How will all students be involved in self-assessment and reflection on their learning goals and
progress? If working in teams, how will they peer-assess each other and the group? A rubric is required for the students to
use in either self-assessment or team assessment (TPE 1.5, 5.3)
At the end of the lesson, students will complete a short self-assessment where they will indicate their progress
towards the two lesson goals. They will write an “M” if they met the goal, a “P” if they made progress towards it, or
an “L” if they have a limited understanding of the content.
2. Prior Teaching, Prior Student Knowledge from Assessments or Student Funds of Knowledge:
Prior to this lesson, students will have participated in a read-aloud of the literary text, Luke Goes to Bat, by Rachel
Isadora. Engaging the class in a guided reading of the text will help to develop their reading comprehension through
answering literal, inferential, and evaluative questions. Furthermore, students have had repeated exposure to
sequencing as they have previously analyzed fictional stories to identify the beginning, middle, and ending. However,
students have depended heavily on teacher support which is why additional practice with sequencing is necessary to

Anticipatory Set: For engaging in initial problem solving and recruiting interest
Connect to Prior Learning: Yesterday, I introduced you to the story, Luke Goes to Bat, through a read-aloud. We also
talked about the vocabulary words.
Learning Goal: Today, we are going to read and discuss the story together and then we will identify the sequence of
events.
Introduce Academic Vocabulary: The sequence of events is a fancy way of saying the order things happen in a story.
- To help students remember and understand the meaning of sequencing, I will lead them in breaking the word
into its syllables while moving their hands along with the syllables like a little chant, “Se. Quence. Ing. Put.
Things. In. Or. Der.”
- I will also show students a picture of a baseball field to further illustrate the concept of sequencing by
connecting it to first, second, third, and home base.
- Signal words, such as first, next, then, last, and finally can help us figure out the sequence of events.
- Remember, on our story summary sheets, you have had lots of practice writing the beginning, middle, and
ending of other stories. You are going to get even better at it today!
Expectations for Learning & Behavior: Because the theme of our story is baseball, I am going to be looking for
students throughout the lesson to give Home Run Awards to. You can earn a Home Run Award by listening with your
whole body and by working hard. You will be able to trade these in for Star Student Tickets.

Part 6 – Reflection
TPE 3.4, 6.1, 6.5
After presenting the lesson in the classroom, review and reflect on student work related to the lesson
1. Include rubric data here:
See rubric above.
Overall, students successfully answered these comprehension questions, showing that they were paying attention to
b. Explain areas of unsuccessful achievement; and why each specific student was unsuccessful –
According to the data, many students incorrectly answered the following questions:
2. What happens before Luke plays in the game? (44%)
5. What happens before Grandma shows Luke the tickets? (44%)
Since this was the first time for students to participate in a self-paced competitive Quizizz, they were very excited.
Students were most likely unsuccessful because they rushed through the quiz and did not carefully consider each
question. They spent an average of 10 seconds on each question even though they were given 1 minute.
3. How did learning deeply about your students’ assets and learning needs:
a. inform and/or shape your lesson plan for the whole class?
Understanding that my class consists of students who are highly interactive, curious, physically active, and talkative
led me to design a lesson plan with a mindfulness meditation, multiple peer discussion opportunities, movement-
related activities, and thought-provoking questions. Recognizing that my students are technologically competent
influenced me to use Quizizz as a formative assessment. In addition, I capitalized on my students’ fascination with
sports by making the whole lesson baseball-themed. With my students’ learning needs in mind, I clearly explained our
behavior goal (to be respectful) and how to achieve it through whole body listening, working hard, and participating in
class. This addressed my students’ tendencies to engage in a variety of off-task behaviors and interrupt the lesson by
shouting out words.
mindfulness meditation video, a cookie baking object lesson, interactive discussion, a poster sequencing activity, and a
Quizizz also kept the class’s full attention.
4. Think about your teaching practice during the learning segment and what you learned from your analysis of multiple types
of assessment about your students’ understanding of content and/or ELD learning goal(s).
a. What was most effective about your teaching or assessment in helping students achieve the content and/or ELD learning
goal(s) of the segment?
The direct vocabulary instruction in the beginning of the lesson along with the class discussion opportunities were
most effective in helping students achieve the content goals. As students learned about sequencing and signal words,
they benefitted from the connections to cookie baking and baseball bases, which were supported with visuals. They
also enjoyed moving their hands along with the syllables like a little chant, “Se. Quence. Ing. Put. Things. In. Or. Der.”
Later in the lesson when I checked for understanding, students referred to these images, examples, and motions as
they accurately answered questions in their own words.
b. b. What was less effective about your teaching or assessment? What do you want to set as an area for growth to increase
your effectiveness as a teacher? Explain why you have chosen this professional learning goal.
Based on observing the class during the poster sequencing activity, I realized that students were leaving out key details
on for each of the main events. While they demonstrated some understanding of the beginning and ending of the story,
there was some clear confusion between the second and third events. Even though I paused and summarized each of
the four events while reading, students did not seem to have the events organized in their minds. To increase my
effectiveness as a teacher, my goal is to maximize the opportunities to use graphic organizers and visuals to support
student understanding of the content.
5. What instructional strategies were used to help students achieve the lesson objective? Which subject-specific pedagogical
skills were used to help students be successful? (reference TPE SSP 1-7 Part 2: Subject-Specific Pedagogy)
a. Was your lesson plan sufficiently flexible to support all students’ learning, or did you need to incorporate specific
instructional, in-the-moment adaptations for particular students? Why or why not?
While my lesson plan was fairly flexible to support all students’ learning, I did need to incorporate specific in-the-
moment adaptations. First, because students were having trouble with ordering the steps involved in cookie baking
during the anticipatory set, I had to help them arrange the papers. Even though I did not originally think this activity
would be challenging, I ended up using it as an opportunity to emphasize the importance of signal words like first,
then, and last. In addition, during the guided reading portion of the lesson, I noticed that students were extra
distracted and wiggly, so I had to respond quickly with different classroom management strategies and varied
discussion opportunities.
b. Did your instructional approach support learning for the whole class and for each of your focus students to achieve the
content-specific learning goal(s)?
Students responded well to my instructional approach, seeing that they were highly engaged throughout the lesson,
understood and correctly applied the academic vocabulary, and made meaningful contributions to our class
discussion. However, the rubric data proves that students still needed additional support with sequencing the events in
Luke Goes to Bat.
6. According to the data analysis, what changes could be made to the lesson and why? Please use specific examples from your
student samples or note other specific evidence.
According on the data analysis, next time I would fill out a graphic organizer while reading Luke Goes to Bat to
give students a clear visual representation of the main events in the story. I would also provide additional
scaffolding with guiding questions to help students as they described each event on the posters. Additionally, I
would more clearly encourage students to take their time on the Quizizz, explaining that accuracy is more
important than speed.

If you were to develop and teach this lesson again, what would you do the same or differently to improve deep learning of
content and academic language for the whole class of students and why?
If I were to teach this lesson again, I would use the same concrete examples, discussion questions, and poster
sequencing activity. To improve deep learning of the content and academic language, next time I would have
students individually fill out a graphic organizer with the sequence of events. This would serve as a concrete
formative assessment and as a tool to engage students in higher-order thinking as they analyze and summarize the
story.
7. What should be done next to teach the students who were not successful in grasping the lesson? Explain what you would do
next to advance the learning of the whole class of students. How could it be re-taught if given the opportunity?
a. Do you need to reteach any part of the lesson? Explain why or why not.
Since students grasped the concept of sequencing and signal words, I do not need to reteach the lesson. I do,
however, need to continue to provide new opportunities for them to apply their learning through reading and
writing. Through repeated practice, students will become better at analyzing and summarizing what they have
read.
b. Based on what the whole class of students learned about the content you were teaching, what will you teach next?
Next, students will apply these sequencing skills as they write about the American heroes they have researched for
your their reports. They will practice organizing important information with signal words.
8. Personal Reflection: What did you learn about yourself as a teacher, and how you want to teach in the future?
Teaching this lesson helped me realize just how many teaching strategies and classroom management techniques I
have acquired so far from my student teaching experience. Even though my class was wired from the rainy weather, it
provided me with an opportunity to showcase many different tools in my toolbox. I also learned that I balance being
firm with humor as I correct student behavior. In the future, I want to continue to add to my repertoire so that I can
more effectively support students in their learning. I also want to maintain a calm and gracious demeanor as I teach,
being careful not to take my frustration out on the students.
Once students completed the Quizizz, I was able to immediately view their scores and take note of which questions
were challenging for most students. We briefly discussed the correct answers and revisited the questions they
answered incorrectly.
