Lesson Delivery Plan

Pay attention to the R-words to activate the brain for learning!

1. Objective (Rigor) - SMART and should be visible on your board daily.

The student will sketch a map of Texas and correctly divide and label each distinct geographic region of Texas

2. Opening (Retrieval) – How will you "hook" your students into the lesson--at both the thinking and
emotional level?

• What will you do to open the lesson to motivate and engage the students’ interest in the content?
• How will you help students make connections to prior knowledge?
• How will you identify and present your essential questions, Central focus, and Learning Targets (I CAN
statements)?
• How will you identify / teach / assess language demands?
• How will you introduce language supports?
• Is your opening congruent to the objective?
The lesson will open by me talking about all that can be experienced in the different areas of Texas.
Fishing can be done in the coastal plains, but you can experience serious hiking in the mountains and
basins region! Students will share experiences they have had in different regions of Texas and comment
on what made these regions so unique. Textbooks will then be distributed and as a class we will review
over the geography of Texas. The goals of the assignment and its specifications will be reviewed.
Vocabulary will also be reviewed.

3. Teacher Input (Relevance) – What information is needed for the students to gain the knowledge/skill in the
objective? (Be sure you have done a task analysis to break the information/skill into small manageable
steps). How will you use strategies, technology, learning styles? What vocabulary and skills do the students
need to master the material? Are the strategies you plan to use congruent to the objective?
Students will need to know basic map skills, as well as some prior knowledge of the layout of Texas.

• Model (Routing) – Outline your I DO activities. Be sure to model strategies and academic language
supports needed.
I will go through and model for the students how to study a map and how to utilize a legend to reinforce
this understanding. I will show how to examine the physical characteristics of an area as presented by a
map and measure distances with guidance from the legend. I will also show how to make connections
between vocabulary terms and the maps being studied.
• Guided Practice – Students demonstrate a grasp of new learning under the teacher’s direct
supervision. The teacher moves around the room to provide individual remediation as needed. “Praise,
prompt, and leave” is an excellent strategy to use. Outline your WE DO activities. Be sure to incorporate
strategies and academic language supports that are needed.
We will review the different types of climates in these regions as well as the cities and specific
industries.

• Independent Practice (Retaining/Rehearsing) – Students demonstrate an independent

application of new skill. Outline your YOU DO activities. Students demonstrate an independent
application of new skill. Be sure to praise and assess strategies and academic language supports that are
being used.
Students will begin independent work on their maps. I will move around the room and monitor progress
to ensure what they are doing is correct. I will also give praise to those exceeding expectations and
working well.

• Check for Understanding (Recognizing) – Practice doesn't make perfect; it makes

permanent. So, make sure the students understand how to proceed before moving to the practice phase
of the lesson. You may need to stop and reteach, so students practice correctly. How do you plan to
assess understanding? What HOTQs will you ask? List at least 3
1. Discuss the pros and cons of living in the mountains and basins region of Texas.

2. Compare and contrast the climates in the coastal plains to the central plains.

3. Why do you think the oil and gas industry is so important in Texas?

• How will you check for understanding or reteach?

I will do progress checks along the way and make sure everyone is where they need to be. If necessary, I
will pause work and go over instructions or any areas where there is confusion. I will also ask questions
for the entire class along the way.

4. Assessment – How will we know that the students have individually mastered the objective? What
evidence will be collected? What will be an acceptable score? What evidence will be collected to demonstrate
mastery of language demands?
The students will complete a verbal exit ticket before they leave the class, in which they share one thing
they learned during the lesson. If they cannot find something to share, hints will be given until they
ultimately try again.

5. Resources - What materials will you need for a successful lesson?

Textbooks, maps, colored pencils, paper, projector, computer

6. Closure (Re-exposure) – How will you have the students end the lesson/reflect upon what was learned?
Students, via collaborative learning, will discuss with each other one thing they knew prior to the lesson
and one thing they learned, as well as anything they found interesting.
