listener, and/or will be reminded as others who are participating will be

praised. Students not raising hands will not be called on, and when those
raising hands are called on, teacher will remark Thank you for raising you
hand.
Plan
1) Priming the lesson/activating prior knowledge (10 min)
a. Pull up class schedule PPT
b. Who knows what this is? Raise your hand to let me know
i. A schedule, specifically for our class on Mondays
c. What do you see here? Raise your hand if you have an idea
i. Looking for: times, boxes, words, Monday
ii. May also hear specific words they know, that some words
look different (in italics)
d. This is what we do most Mondays. Some Mondays it is different
because we have a half day, or we do something like go to the
zoo, which we will do this Monday. But, most Mondays we do
these things, and we do them in this order. First, we have
morning meeting. Next, we have writing and reading. Then, we
have math and social studies. Then, we have gym. Finally, we
have snack and recess. This is our schedule for Mondays.
i. As say each section, advance to next slide showing that
section highlighted and words at bottom adding on
2) Explaining activity and applying (10 min)
a. At your tables you will be putting together a mixed up version of
our schedules. I will give you a long strip that has the times, like
you see here, and each of you will get one piece that has part of
our schedule. You will work as a team to put the schedule in
order. Does anyone have any questions?
i. Have one student explain what are going to do
b. Circulate as students put in order, offering help as needed
i. Check in with Table 5 first to ensure are clear on directions
ii. Check in with Table 4 to ensure they are working as a team
c. Once a few have finished, get attention by saying I,2,3, eyes on
me. Wait for attention. Once your table has finished, sit down
and take turns reading your schedule. You should use First we
Then, we Next, we. And Finally, we
d. Once all have finished, get whole class attention by saying I,2,3,
eyes on me. Wait for attention. Ask one student from each table
to say which order they put activities in
e. Now that you have everything in order, your groups will glue
down the pieces. Remember to take turns and ensure your
groups works together.
f. Have helpers bring our glue sticks and have students paste on
pieces
3) Writing (10 min)

a. Get whole class attention by saying I,2,3, eyes on me. Wait for
attention. Please put away your glue sticks and put your eye on
me. Now that we have our schedule, we need to write what is
happening. Each person will be writing one part of the schedule.
For example, if you had the Morning Meeting piece, you will be
writing the First part. This would look like First, we have
morning meeting. Write this on small white board as you say.
Notice I started my sentence with a capital and ended it with a
period. Also, I knew how to spell all of these words because I
used my resources in the classroom. Where do you think I saw
these words?
i. Students should point out that they are on the smart
board, and/or that Morning Meeting is written on the
sheets among other noticings
b. So, who will be writing the First sentence? Write word on
board as say. The Next sentence? (do with Then, Then, and
Last)
i. Students should connect that the first goes with the first
thing to happen in schedule (morning meeting), next goes
with second (reading and writing), then with third (lunch),
etc.
c. Have helpers collect glue sticks and pass out pencils
d. Pass out lined strips for sentences
e. Give 5 min and 1 min warning when finishing
4) Closing ( 5 min)
a. We will look at these schedules again next week when we get a
new perspective on someone elses Monday schedule. What is a
perspective?
i. Take 1 or 2 students responses depending on time/content
of answer
b. Please write your names on the back of your sentences. Place
your schedule in the middle of your table and put your sentences
on top of the schedule. I will know you are ready when you are
seated and your hands are folded and I will call you to pack up.
