Career Ready Students will work independently for about 15 min. I will ask students to have a seat at their desks. Each
Skills student will be provided with a pencil and a Match the Time worksheet. I will read the instructions to
students and students will complete the worksheet. I will collect and grade worksheet and after this students
will color the face of their analog clock with crayons. All in all, students will respond instructions, questions
and answers. They will comprehend the concept of time at the end of the lesson, thus, building within them
a strong content knowledge.

 Communication Collaboration Critical Thinking Creativity

Explain how the lesson addresses each box you checked:

During the lesson students will not only collaborate together in helping each other and sharing ideas, but at
6
the same time, they will be communicating findings, questions, observations, ideas. The critical thinking
21st Century aspect is the process in which students learn to tell time. With this lesson students also get to be as creative
Skills as they want because they get to make and color their clock however they wish. They will draw, cut, paste,
color and this gives them an opportunity to be creative.

Lesson Delivery
Identify vocabulary and key terms that are important for students to know to understand the lesson:

*analog clock *hour hand * hour * minute hand * minute * seconds * clockwise
Vocabulary/Key
Terms
8 Describe how you will adapt your lesson for the following learners:
Differentiated
 English Learners
Instruction
For my English Learners I would use my Bilingualism to communicate with them in areas that
perhaps they do not understand. I would try to keep a balance between English and Spanish
with them.
 Special Needs
I would keep my eye alert for those students that might need extra help. I would help them by
meeting individually or in a group to reinforce concepts, content and ideas.
 Accelerated (Gifted/Talented)
For my accelerated learners I would provide them with more advanced work/ worksheets. I
would also motivate these students in teaching other students having a difficult time.

9 Describe at least TWO different types of formal or informal assessments you will use during your
Assessments lesson to check for student learning:
 I will assess the independent work of my students
 I will Mini- conference with students who scored low.
 I will provide reinforcement by assigning homework or another opportunity to master the
concept in another (next) lesson.

10 Prior Knowledge, Context, and Motivation (How will you connect the beginning of the lesson
Lesson to what students already know and/or motivate them to learn about the topic?)
Delivery
My introduction will be important in getting my students attention and keeping them interested
throughout the lesson. I would call the students together as a group. I would then ask them what
items is used to tell time, followed by taking responses by raised hands. I would continue with
informing students that clocks come in all shapes and sizes and would let them know that we will
be making analog clocks, or a clock that has rotating hands.
