Backward Design Lesson Plan Template

Candidate: Kelsey Easton Grade level: 10

Lesson title: Creation Myths

Step 1Desired Results (What students will learn)


CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.SL.9-10.1.C
Propel conversations by posing and responding to questions that relate the current
discussion to broader themes or larger ideas; actively incorporate others into the discussion;
and clarify, verify, or challenge ideas and conclusions.

Step 2Assessment Evidence (Summative/Formative check for learning)


Performance taskWhat will students do to show what they have learned?
Students will be able to pass the reading check by showing they understood the reading. They
will draw one symbol that shows a similarity (or more than one) between the creation stories. I
will collect these after the five minutes are up.

Performance criteriaHow good is good enough to meet standards? Provide checklists,


rubric, or criteria.
Students will respond thoughtfully and respectfully on the board when they respond to the
questions.

Step 3Learning Plan (detailed enough for another teacher to follow)

Step 4Differentiation/Accommodation/Modifications
Which strategies/methods will you use differentiate for different learning styles? How will you
accommodations and modifications for special needs students (IEP)?
For students who need to move around, this will provide them that chance during Chalk Talk.
They will also have a chance to speak anonymously, so shyer students will be more
comfortable participating.
This also makes things more respectful and anonymous for a touchy topic like religion and
using the word myth for origin stories of religions that people very strongly believe. Students
wont be condemned if they are anonymous during the Chalk Talk.
Students will have the benefits of reading MOV out loud and also at home if they need different
reading methods to learn.
