What is the student learning goal(s) for this lesson idea?

I can identify and explain the differences between organisms and nonliving objects.

I will promote students learning to a higher level of blooms by having students analyze the
items in their house and draw a picture of one living and one nonliving thing they find.
How do you plan to implement this lesson and integrate the technology? Check all that apply:

X Teacher-led: There is no student voice and choice in the activities. Students are guided by
teacher direction and expectations. Learning activities are assigned to the
student and mostly practice based.

☐ Stu
dent-Led: Students are given voice and choice in the activities. They may select the topic
of learning and/or determine the tool they will use to meet the learning goal. The
teacher facilitates the learning as the students direct their own learning processes.

☐ Problem-based and/or Publishable: Students are solving problems
and completing projects to demonstrate their learning. Additionally, the projects can
be shared outside of the classroom. (Note: This objective could be reached
by displaying the project on the school’s morning newscast, posting the project to the
classroom blog, presenting it to another class, or publishing via an outside source.)
Lesson idea implementation:

Before completing the activity at home the students learning goals will be written down and
explained verbally, a copy of these goals will also be sent home with the students. We
provided the students with images on padlet of living and non-living things and asked the
students what they believe is living and non-living. This allows them to use their prior
knowledge to show the level of understanding that they have on the subject at hand. During

the lesson our students will be requested to watch a short clip on living and non-living things
on BrainPOP and then assigned to draw one living and non-living thing on the padlet. By the
end of this lesson students will be able to answer the following questions: “What is a living
thing?”/“What makes something living?” and “What is a non-living thing?”/“What makes
something non-living?”. We will use flippity to create a matching game for students to match
living and non-living things together. Finally, students will be able to rate whether they
enjoyed the lesson or not by giving a thumbs up or thumbs down on the padlet post.
Managing student learning: This lesson will be complete at home with the help of the
students parents. They will have as much time as they need to complete the lesson.
Universal Design for Learning (UDL):
The activities planned enhances the students learning experience because it guides student
step by step through the lesson. Padlet supports engagement components of the UDL
framework by allowing videos, audios, and pictures to be implemented throughout the lesson
that help guide students through the lesson, it will be hard for them to get lost.
Reflective Practice:
I feel that they activities created will meet a variety of learning styles and keep the students
engaged throughout the lesson. As the lesson is provided with step by step instructions in
which the students are able to pause, play, and rewind. I look forward to seeing all of the
students drawings, they should be interesting to decipher.
