Christina Gagliardo EDU 521 Grade: 2 Topic: The Moon Instructional Objective

Professor Maroney December 4, 2013 Content Area: Science

After viewing a video on the phases of the moon, interacting with a Glogster about the first moon landing and the moon phases, and reading an inspiration concept map, students will create a replication of the phases of the moon using Oreo Cookies.

Standards and Indicators Common Core Standards CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RI.2.1 Ask and answer such questions as who, what, where, when, why, and how to demonstrate understanding of key details in a text. Indicator: This will be evident when the students are able to create their own replica of the phases of the moon represented by Oreo Cookies. CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RI.2.5 Know and use various text features (e.g., captions, bold print, subheadings, glossaries, indexes, electronic menus, icons) to locate key facts or information in a text efficiently. Indicator: This will be evident when the students use the facts from the Glogster, the video, and Concept map to create a replica of the phases of the moon and answer homework questions. CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RI.2.7 Explain how specific images (e.g., a diagram showing how a machine works) contribute to and clarify a text. Indicator: This will be evident when students are able to effectively present and explain the phases of the moon after using the facts from the Glogster and the video.

CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.2.2 Write informative/explanatory texts in which they introduce a topic, use facts and definitions to develop points, and provide a concluding statement or section.

Indicator: This will be evident when the students are able to correctly label and demonstrate each phase of the moon. NETS for Students: 2. Communication and Collaboration- Students use digital media and environments to communicate and work collaboratively, including at a distance, to support individual learning and contribute to the learning of others. a. Students interact, collaborate, and publish with peers, experts, or others employing a variety of media and formats. Indicator: This will be demonstrated when the student uses the Glogster and the links and quizzes that correspond to the topic of the phases of the moon. Motivation Students will listen to a teacher-read story. The students will listen to the teacher read the book, Papa, Please Get the Moon for Me by Eric Carle. The students will answer discussion questions about the moon and the events of the story.

-Direct Instruction -Group Discussion -Independent Work Adaptations The students with difficulty processing can have extra time in small groups or pairs to watch a BrainPop video on the phases of the moon. The students with visual impairments will be strategically seated close to the SmartBoard during instruction time. Visuals will also be enlarged for optimal viewing. Students classified with a learning disability will be working in heterogeneous groups in order to be assisted by peers. Differentiation of Instruction Tier one learners will be given a diagram to follow showing each of the eight phases of the moon in order to create the replica with Oreos.

Tier two learners will work with a partner to recall the phases of the moon and then work independently to create their own replica using Oreos.

Tier three learners with complete their replica independently and will be able to take the online quiz when finished. Developmental Procedures

1. Students will listen to the teacher read the story, Papa, Please Get the Moon for Me by Eric Carle, and answer some discussion questions about the moon. 2. Students will engage in reading facts and visiting other websites through a Glogster. The teacher will ask: Who was the first man to land on the moon? What are the phases of the moon? How much do you weigh on the moon? 3. The students will view a YouTube video explaining and demonstrating the phases of the moon. 4. After viewing the Glogster and learning more facts about the moon, the students will take an online quiz on their knowledge about the moon. 5. The students will have a class discussion about the moon facts and the eight phases of the moon. 6. After taking the quiz, students will listen to teacher directions about the activity they are going to create. 7. The students will recall the eight phases of the moon (by themselves or with a partner). The students will independently create the eight phases of the moon using Oreo cookies. Assessment The students will be assessed through their replica of the eight phases of the moon using the Oreo cookies. Students will be graded according to a rubric.

Independent Practice Students will work independently to create the replica of the eight phases of the moon using the Oreo cookies. Follow-Up Direct Teacher Intervention: For the student who is struggling to grasp the concept the teacher will provide one-on-one help during lunch, recess, before or after school and provide extra practice activities on the computer, Smartboard, or iPad. Academic Enrichment: For the student who grasps the concept quickly they will be allowed time to explore the web for facts about the moon we did not cover during classes that he or she will find interesting. They will be allowed to share these facts with the class if they wish.
