Essential Vocabulary:
Trial - deciding if a person did the bad thing or not
Murder - killing a person
Assessment:
Formative Assessment: At the beginning of the story, I will ask the students what they think the
story is going to be about and what they already know about Abraham Lincoln. I will then take a
mental note of what I need to cover more throughout this lesson so that at the end they are able to
complete the worksheet about what they would put in their hat and write a sentence about their
picture.
Student Considerations:
During the story, I will allow to let the students sit where they think the best choice would be and
I will give them one chance to show me they can handle where they are sitting. After that I will
move the students that are talking apart from each other. During the writing activity, I will have
my lower students in a group with me while the other students are writing their sentences alone.
In the small group, the students will dictate their sentences to me and I will write them on
another piece of paper and they will then copy it onto their own papers.
PROCEDURES:
The Beginning (a.k.a. Anticipatory Set): (5 minutes)
After calendar time, the students will move from facing the board to facing me in the
rocking chair.
I will ask the students, What do you know about Abraham Lincoln? to see what they
already know.
I will also ask, What do you think this story is going to be about? before diving into the
book
I will tell the students to keep an eye out for the letters coming out of his hat as we read!
I was able to complete my objectives during this lesson, as my formative assessment was simply
asking the students what they knew about Abe Lincoln which they remembered a lot from what I
taught the day before. The students were able to independently draw their picture and write a
sentence on what they would keep in their hats and those papers became apart of their portfolios.
2. Based on the result of your assessment, what will you do tomorrow? Can you go ahead as
planned or will you need to reteach concepts from todays lesson? (Explain how you will reteach
and/or connect and feed forward.)
I will continue to talking about another famous American. Each day we will revisit the ones that
we talked about earlier in the week such as, George Washington and Abe Lincoln and I will ask
the students about the major facts of each of them so that they will remember each one as we
move forward.
3. If you have to teach this lesson again, what might you do the same and what might you do
differently?
I will teach this lesson just as I did, I think it went really well and I would not change anything.
The students really enjoyed the whole lesson and I loved seeing them learn and compare Abe
Lincoln to George Washington.
