Lesson Overview
Big Picture/
Essential Question How do the position of the sun, earth, and moon affect each other?
(State the overarching
Essential Question)
Prior Learning
(provide a brief I will plan activities that meet the needs of ALL students
overview)
Higher Order
Questions for the
lesson
(State what your What is the phase of the moon during a solar eclipse?
questions will be for
the lesson. These
should be linked to
Blooms Taxonomy)
Standards and
Practices
(list ONLY the
standards and HS-ESS1-1, HS-ESS1-2 (Science/English)
practices
(Math/Science) that will
be addressed in this
lesson. Which
standards from Stage 1
of the UbD unit will be
covered?)
Links- Real Life, UAE,
and Cross Curricular
(Explicitly state what
will be evident in the
lesson. How will this
learning relate to the
world around them? Search about the UAE's plan for space in future
What are the
connections across the
content areas?
Consider the relation
to Stage 2 of the UbD
unit).

Literacy Strategies
(What is the
vocabulary
integration? How will
students become
Waxing, Waning, Gibbous, Quarter
proficient in the
cognitive academic
language of the
course/subject?)

Differentiation
ALL students must be challenged beyond their current achievement!
(Explicitly add student names and state what resources/tools/activities will be used to differentiate learning)
Specific differentiation strategies (content/process/outcome): How will the content, process, product, and/or environment differ for the students to give better
opportunity to access learning at their level? How will the students learn in each model?

EAL, SEND, G+T -Some Special Education Accommodations & Modifications.

Also, always refer to students’ IEPs.
*Size: Adapt the number of items that the learner is expected to learn/complete (reduce the length of an assignment, etc.)
*Time: Increase amount of time learner has to complete a task (provide students with extra time, etc.)
*Level of Support: Increase the amount of personal assistance to an individual learner (one-on-one conferencing, collaborative team teaching, peer-tutoring, etc.)
*Difficulty: Adapt the skill level, problem type, or rules on how the learner may approach the work (allow the use of a calculator, simplify content, decrease task
directions, etc.)
*Input: Adapt the way instruction is delivered (visual aids, media presentations, demonstrations, flexible grouping, etc.)
*Output: Adapt how the student can respond to instruction
*Participation: Adapt the extent to which a learner is actively involved in the task
*Alternate Goals: Adapt the goals or outcome expectations while using the same materials
*Substitute Curriculum: Provide different instruction and materials to meet a learner’s individual goals.

 Lesson Plan
Lesson Objective Define and describe a solar eclipse and a lunar eclipse.
(should be connected to the standard and Recall how the appearance of the Moon changes throughout the lunar cycle
should be written using student-friendly
terminology for what they are supposed to be
learning?

These should start with a different Blooms

verb.
All (100%) - linked to the standard/lesson
objective
(set at grade level expectation)

Majority (50-60%) - this is the extension of the

standard / above the grade level expectation

Few (up to 15%) - students who are working

well above grade level expectations

Check this LINK for Teaching and Learning

Strategies

Check this LINK for guidance on BLOOMS.

Success Criteria - I can define and describe a solar eclipse and a lunar eclipse.
(Based on the outcome of the product, what is - I can recall how the appearance of the Moon changes throughout the lunar cycle
the progression in how we know they have
learned? Blooms taxonomy should be used.
This can be demonstrated through a rubric,
checklist or an AFL strategy)

Starter (5min) Pre-Knowledge Assessment & Warmer Activity

(how will you hook/provocation/Do Now task?
This information should be used as a checking
for understanding/starting point of the lesson)

Introduce the lesson (I Do) (10min) Explain the lesson and use video if it needs

Main part of the lesson (20min) (We Do) ● collaboration/group work

Include opportunities: ● hands-on activities
● student agency (voice and choice) ● project work
● for questioning to promote critical thinking
● collaboration/group work
● hands-on activities
● stations/centers
● project work
(Secondary to define 80mins of the
Main part of the lesson)

Closing (You Do) (10min) Self-activity (Worksheet,)

Demonstration of knowledge using an exit
ticket or other AFL strategies to determine
End of Lesson progress.

Formative Assessment Strategies quizzes, kahoot, games

How will you know that the students have

made progress?

Consider self / peer assessment strategies,

and when/how you plan to conduct progress
checks throughout the lesson.
