III. PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT
SEATING AND GROUPING
PHYSICAL ACCOMMODATIONS
How will you set up the environment to facilitate learning?
What provisions will you make to accommodate all students?

Fireboy to the Rescue!
Students will go back to their desks, and take turns
coming to the front of the class in groups, acting out

journal entries.

I will make sure all the children can see and hear the
book.

fairly to ensure a great lesson.

Become familiar with students background knowledge and experiences.

IV. CONNECTIONS: Make content-student connections and interdisciplinary connections.
A. How will you connect the content with students background (e.g., prior knowledge, interests, cultural experiences, gender)?
Revised August 27, 2008

We will discuss what the students already know about fire safety and how they use it in their own home.

B. Interdisciplinary connections: How can this lesson be integrated with other content areas to strengthen student learning?
-

We will be including literacy into this lesson, along with writing and comprehension.

Encourage students to extend their thinking.

V. QUESTIONING: Provide sample questions at a variety of levels (Google: Blooms taxonomy)
-

What should you do if you touch a doorknob and it is hot?

After exiting a house fire safety, what should you do?
How many escape routes should you have from each room?
Explain when you would stop, drop, and roll?

Choose methods, activities, and materials aligned with the goals and appropriate to the students.
Provide a differentiated learning experience for individuals or groups of students.
VI. MATERIALS/RESOURCES: List all the materials needed for both teacher and students.
Teacher Materials:

The book Fireboy to the rescue!

Student Materials:

Journal, crayons, pencils, and listening ears

VII. NEW VOCABULARY: List key terms to be defined prior to or as part of instruction.

Fire extinguisher- a device that discharges water, foam, gas, or other material to put out a fire.
Smoke alarm- device that detects and gives a warning when there is smoke.

You must attach copies of all handouts, rubrics, or assessments which you will be using.
A. Introduction or hook: How will you elicit student interest in the lesson (e.g., intriguing question, lesson prop)?
- I will ask the student if they know what fire safety is, and how they practice it at home.
- We will then watch the short clip of Smokey Bear.

We will act out different fire safety procedures (20 minutes)

We will make a short journal entry will a picture. (10 minutes)

C. Differentiated Instruction: How will differentiate instruction for this lesson?

Recognize student variance (special needs, readiness levels, experiences, exceptionalities, interests, etc.) and respond to that
variance with differentiated instruction rather than one-size-fits-all instruction. Consider differentiation of a) content/what
you teach (difficulty level, higher-level questions, etc.); b) process/how you teach (scaffolding, extensions, peer tutor, etc.); and
product/how students show what they know (fewer problems, oral vs. written, extended time, learning contracts, etc.).
-

All students will be put into groups chosen by myself, to make sure they are equal and fair.
Special needs students, and students that are behind can have extended time, and also I will be walking around to help
students with their journal entries.
Evaluation will be adjusted for each student, so it is fair.

D. Closure: Summarize, review, transition (BE SPECIFIC!)

- After the students have completed their journal they will have time to share, in case they missed any procedures, or
vocabulary words.
E. Assignments: Where appropriate, describe work that will be assigned to students outside of the classroom.
- The students will get to take a packet home to share with their families what they learned about fire safety. The families
are encouraged to keep fire safety an important part of the home, and help the child find smoke alarms, and escape routes.
OPTIONAL: Include research that supports the content or methods of instruction within the lesson.
