Unit: Skeletal System Lesson 1 Lesson Planning Waynesburg University Writing the lesson plan _________________________________________
Pennsylvania Academic Standard(s) addressed during this lesson: 3.1.6.A1 - Describe the similarities and differences of major physical characteristics in plants, animals, fungi, protists, and bacteria 3.1.7.A1 - Describe the similarities and differences of physical characteristics in diverse organisms 10.1.9.B: Analyze the interdependence existing among the body systems. Lesson Objective(s) (Stated in observable and measurable terms) TSWBAT: demonstrate knowledge of the human body by creating a photostory on the skeletal system. TSWBAT: explain the skeletal system by using terminology that is pertaining to this body system. Assessment Plan (What will be done to determine if lesson objectives have been met?) The assessment for this lesson will be for the students to complete the photostory on the skeletal system. The assessment will demonstrate understanding of the skeletal system and basic use of technology. Materials: Information regarding the skeletal system. Computers Capability to download photostory

Inclusion Techniques for Students with Special Needs: All students will be included in the lesson. Lesson accommodations or modifications can be made as necessary. Enrichment Techniques: The lesson is intended to enrich computer and technology knowledge while assessing the understanding of a body system. Lesson Differentiation (What modifications/accommodations will be made to ensure that ALL students have access to and are able to participate in the lesson): Teach the photostory using a multi-modality format. Directions can be typed out, chunked, in a video format, and expressed through speech.

Lesson Presentation
Introduction/Motivational Activities/Anticipatory Set: Introduce activity by telling students everything they should expect from this lesson. Give the students an overview of the lesson and discuss the lesson objectives with them. Make sure the students are prepared fully for this lesson and have an understanding of the skeletal system. The lesson provides the student with plenty of activities and offers variety. The website is very interactive and will peak their interest. The students are engaged in an enjoyable activity. The students will be required to have a computer and the capability to download the photostory to their computer. The student will begin with a review of the skeletal system followed by a detailed explanation of how to use photstory. The photostory can be explained in a multi-facetted way: auditory, visually, written, or spoken. Detailed Teaching Sequence: (Provide sufficient detail that would enable a substitute to effectively present this lesson. Bulleted statements are preferred) Introduction of lesson Anticipatory Set: Overview, Objectives, Lesson activities Review of Skeletal System Explanation of Photostory Photostory Website Download Photostory Photostory Creation clipart, music, voice-overs, and save as project Check for understanding (additional assessment tool) Closure Guided Practice/Independent Practice/Assessment Activities Review Worksheet Terminology Handout Photostory development and creation Closure: To close the lesson, I will check the student for understanding. Ask specific questions about the lesson. Review what was covered in the lesson and let the students know what they can expect next class.
