Lesson Plan

Entry Work Question: What is your favorite layer of the atmosphere and why?

Together Work: Cornell Notes for Chp. 11., sect. 1. and 2. are being collected today. Everyone is getting some time to finish up on these. Also, questions 1-20 should be done and turned in. If those are not done that get them done and turn them in!

Independent Work: We are having our Friday Quiz before the end of the period! Don't forget to break into groups and study!

Wrap Up: 5 minute quiz.


*Differentiation - students that had difficulty reading had the questions read out loud to them. Students that had trouble with the concepts and ideas of the lesson could have these ideas visualized on the board and by the teacher (total body experience).

*Assessment - students turned in Student Guided Reading Questions and were assessed for completion and comprehension of these questions.

Notes for next time:

The kids can't handle going over 20 comprehension questions in class! This takes too long. How about breaking this up into 10 (or even 5 questions) during class over a week. That would give us something to do at the beginning of class and it would allow me to create the questions instead of using the inane questions from the book. I hate the questions from the book because they are often vague and misleading.
