School of Education Licensure ProgramsLesson Plan Form Name: Chelsie Vogel Date: 3/21/17 Grade Level: 3______ Content Area: Why are you teaching this lesson? (Central Focus and purpose) I am teaching this lesson to prepare my students for the upcoming Mathematics MCA assessment. Students will be playing a game of Jeopardy with review questions under the categories; geometry, multiplication/division, fractions, addition/subtraction, time/money. Students will choose a category and value and then all groups will solve the problem. Students will use individual whiteboards to write their thinking and answers. They will collaborate as a group to raise their hands and submit their final answer. This is an engaging fun activity …show more content…
I think this is important so that students can help one another and discuss questions as a group. Students are often able to ‘relate’ to their peers and explain things in ways that as teachers we may overlook. I like to create a variety of opportunities within my classroom for my students to work together and teach one another. When working in pairs or small groups, all students are inquiring, exploring, or problem solving collaboratively. Students use multiple means of expression (discussion, model, demonstration) to share their ideas and defend their positions. The teacher provides clear guidelines, scaffolding, modeling and expectations for group work. There is a gradual release of responsibility from teacher to students for the lesson and its outcomes. This assignment is a total class participation and no student will finish early. LEARNING OBJECTIVE AND TARGET: What teachers will prepare in a lesson and what students will know or be able to do as a result of the lesson. Learning objectives and targets are clear, specific and measurable and aligned to state standards.

Communication and collaboration: Students use digital media and environments to communicate and work collaboratively, including at a distance, to support individual learning and
Teacher conducts group conference with the finished group to clarify and extend their learning. As teacher ask questions that provides with evidence of students’ understanding and explore their way of thinking. Teacher asks various questions to each students such as What obstacles did you overcome to resolve this task? what the hardest fraction you encountered? What strategy did you use? How your strategy relates to your classmates’
The students ranging from high school to college are encouraged to use teamwork and problem solving skills to complete the task.
-Students are working with others that are below grade level. They will have the opportunity to help teach them. This will build their understanding as well.
Ideally teachers should first look at how the objectives correspond to the larger goals and aims and then identify the skills required to achieve the objectives (Noddings, Aims, Goals and Objectives, 2007).
It allows groups to use the situation in the learning environment to develop their social interaction skills e.g. meeting new people, and share ideas. This enhances the group’s experiences, promotes collaboration, can develop their social relationships skills and allows opportunity for peer
This is why I also employ the constructivism technique of collaborative groups in my classroom to give students the opportunity to discuss ideas with their peers and make reasonable conclusions about what they are learning. My classroom is arranged with student desks placed in small groups, which allows students to direct their attention to the front of the room when needed, yet they can turn and collaborate with their peers during group work.
Have you ever been working alone and needed help? Our group agrees that working in small pairs or groups with other classmates is helpful because your knowledge grows, you get the diversity of others in your work, and if you are stuck you have a group of peers ready to assist you. Groups not only help you and your peers, but help your teachers as well. Small groups are extremely helpful, and we definitely recommend their use in schools.
and socially. Teachers need to set long term and short term measurable goals and plan on
The teacher prepares the students to operate in a small group together. This practice can enhance the student’s cooperative learning skills.
Learning objectives or learning outcomes should be clearly defined statements which describe the competences that learners should possess upon completion of a lesson, module or course. These learning objectives state what learners should know and be able to demonstrate, as well as the range and the depth of study.
| As a group students will compare their results in their practice problems and create questions for discussion.
It is important for my students to understand and value learning goals in the classroom. At the start of every chapter students will be supplied an outline of what they are going to encounter in the upcoming weeks.
I am Zeeshan Ali; I am working as a Computer teacher for Classes VI-X-M in Canal Side Boys Campus. I have done Masters in Computer Science (MCS) from Punjab University College of Information and Technology (PUCIT) Lahore. The students are the main focus of every teacher and our entire teaching efforts circle round our students to achieve the set targets. Effective Teaching includes many useful teaching strategies that a teacher chooses according to the requirement of his/her respective subject and topic as well. In result of my years of experience and as a Computer teacher I find Group Work as the most effective and fruitful technique at every level.
“Through collaboration, ideas can be shared, new and better strategies can be developed, problems can be solved, students’ progresses can be better monitored, and their outcomes are evaluated effectively.”¬ (Lee, 1996).
Collaborative learning is founded on the idea that the learning process is a naturally social act which requires the participants to talk among themselves. Collaborative learning involves small groups of students who act on a structured learning activity to solve a problem, complete a task, or create a product. In simpler terms, the students work in groups to learn or understand a new concept they are studying. In this learning approach, it is important to understand that the students are accountable for individual work as well as the group work they do as a group in collaborative learning
