Prior Learning Connections


● Is this an introductory, reinforcement, or mastery lesson?
○ This lesson will be a reinforcement lesson for the students, this talks about what
different things happen during fall, besides the weather and the leaves. They are
able to see it in a different light. They will then tell what they learned and saw.
● What have you done to prepare students for this lesson?
○ Preparing the students for the lesson would be that they have probably
experienced the talk about how fall brings change and in this story it talks about
how an acorn changes as well as different materials around them.
● Identifying background knowledge
○ The students have background knowledge of what happens during the fall from
the previous lesson.
● Connecting background knowledge with concepts and skills

Differentiation:
● How do you know students are ready for this lesson? What are their developmental
skills levels, interests, learning strengths, and specials needs?
○ The students are ready for this lesson because they have do have previous
knowledge of what happens during fall as well as the new knowledge of seeing
what different experiences the acorn goes through. This should spark an interest
in the students because they are able to write about what we recently just talked
about in class. The special needs to watch out for are if the students possibly
missed the story and don't have an idea about what the work they should be
writing about.
● Learning strategies that help students understand the content or build skills to apply
knowledge
○ Some different strategies that will be utilized in the classroom would be that the
students are able to put the acorns experiences in their own writing so that they
are taking in the knowledge of what happened as well. Also hearing different
information is a huge benefit.
● Instructional materials are selected, designed, implemented, and individualized as
necessary to support all students in meeting the lesson learning objectives.
○ Working with the book and having the students be able to write about the
different experiences that the acorn has. They are visually able to see what
happens and not just talk about what happens. This allows the students to have
visual and written work about the topic.
● Include a variety of whole group, small group, and independent learning opportunities.
○ The students will work in a whole group when we are talking about the story
and then individually when working on their writing skills.

Special Concerns: (Including medical, behavioral, and environmental):

The special concerns for this lesson would be what if the students are having a harder time
with their writing skills and are not able to write out about the acorn and the experience.

Another special concern is what if the students are having behavior issues and are not able to
work on this lesson and have to do something else.
Assessment:
● Targets all knowledge and skills that are indicated in learning objectives which are
driven by standards
● Includes a variety of formats
● Identified in the lesson where the assessment is being administered (FA) or (SA)

Formative:
The formative assessment would be hearing the different information that they were able to
hear from the stories. This way they are gaining new information about what the acorn
experienced. Verbal Assessment

Summative:
The summative assessment would be seeing the acorn story craft and seeing that they were
able to talk about the acorn and write in different sentences with a few spelling errors. Written
Assessment

Part 1: Engagement/ Warm-up


I will let the students know that we will be reading a book today. I will share the title, “Little
Acorn”

Transition:
The students will give predictions about what they think the story will be about. I will then
pose the question of whether the students have ever seen an acorn and where they saw one.

Part 2: Instruction/ Exploration


● The students will then give their predictions about what they think the book is about.
● I will tell the students that we will just have to wait and see if they are right about the
different predictions that they have given about the book.
● We will continue to go through the book, and the students will hold their questions for
the end of the story.
● I will then ask the students what they enjoyed about the book and what is something
they did not know but heard from the book.
● That will move us into our activity, the students will be writing about the different
places the acorn was in the story or what the acorn was doing. Or if they personally
have had their own experiences with acorns they can write about that as well. They will
be able to cut out an acorn shape and then write in the middle of the acorn about the
experiences that they saw or have gone through.
● This way the students are able to share their experiences as well.

Transition:
We will transition by having the students share their acorn story if they would like, but if they
do not want to they do not have to.
Part 3: After Lesson
After the lesson, “I will be collecting these acorns and placing them where everyone can see,
thank you for your hard work!”
