Student Engagement: Students

will begin the lesson by watching a short video on Abraham Lincoln.


They will also be asked to make text-to-self connections in determining who their hero is in their life;
making learning more meaningful.
Instructional Arrangement: Two teacher candidates will explore the co-teaching method. One way we
will differentiate is by the splitting of the larger group into two groups, based on student needs and
abilities. Teachers will scaffold learning by exploring what is a hero, giving an example of an
American hero, and then allowing students to make self-connections in determining who the hero is in
their life. This will be accomplished through working individually, in small groups, and as an entire
group.
Diversity/Social Justice: Considering our placement in an inner city, struggling school, care will be taken
when working with students. It is understood that we will be working with English Language
Learners, students will learning disabilities, and students with diverse backgrounds. We will consider
this when trying to make learning relevant to the students. As always, we believe every child has the
ability to learn and we will see that we make the appropriate accommodations and modifications to
foster this learning.
InstructionalModel/Strategy:State the rationale for the chosen model(s). Explain how you will best
facilitate student learning through a specific model of instruction. You may check more than one.

Direct Instruction Students

will be explicitly taught the characteristics of a hero. They will also be


explicitly told, as the story is read, different things that make Abraham Lincoln a hero.
Cooperative Learning specific strategy:
Inquiry

Concept formation/Concept Development:

Discussion: Focused

not only on why Lincoln is a hero, but what qualities make someone a hero and
how can someone, even the students, be a hero.

Initiation:MeetingtheNeedsofAllLearners
Modifications/Accommodations
~
Initiation Briefly describe how you will initiate the lesson by:
1) motivating learners to focus on expectations for learning and behaviors ("hook");
2) explaining:
a) what they will be doing and learning in the lesson;
b) how they will demonstrate learning;
c) why it is important.

Initiation:

-Students will watch a video on Abraham Lincoln to engage them in the


lesson.
-Teacher candidates will explain that Lincoln is an American Hero. This
will begin a whole group discussion on what students think makes a hero.
-Teacher candidates will then explicitly define what makes a hero and why.
-Teacher candidates will also give other examples of heroes and why they
have the characteristics that match the definition.
