Gradual Release of Responsibility Direct Modeling Lesson Plan Template
Gradual Release of Responsibility Direct Modeling Lesson Plan Template
Standards (KCCRS or Your State Standards): 1.G.1 Distinguish between defining attributes (e.g.,
triangles are closed and three-sided) versus non-defining attributes (e.g., color, orientation, overall size);
build and draw shapes to possess defining attributes.
Lesson Performance Objective(s): The student will know what an attribute is and be able to define the
attributes of shapes with an 80% accuracy
Materials: pencils, worksheets, vocab chart, graham crackers, cookies, and attribute blocks
Background Knowledge Required: What kind of prior knowledge is required of the students before they
engage the new information of the lesson?
Student Grouping(s): All together as a class during the We Do process and with their across the table
partners and on their own for the You Do process.
I-Spy game: tell the students that they need to remain quiet and raise their hand while playing the
game.
I-Spy something with 4 sides. 2 long and 2 short. 4 vertices, (colors of the box), it has something
sticking out of the top, and it holds tissues.
I-Spy something round, it has no sides, and no vertices, It tells us when to start something new,
and it starts our day
VOCAB
Today we are going to look at a few different shapes and objects to determine what their
attributes or qualities are.
Instruction:
Stage 1: Direct Modeling of the Lesson. Gradual Release of Responsibility (GRR)- I DO IT.
I-SPY GAME
VOCAB CHART:
EXAMPLE:
This is a Triangle- It has 3 sides, and 3 corners
Did you know that food can be shapes too! You can identify attributes of food because they’re
shapes too!
Here is a graham cracker and cookie for each of you
Leave it laying your desk because if you take a bite your shape wont be true shape anymore!
Look at the graham cracker
I see that it has 4 sides
Raise your hand if you can name an attribute of it
Look at the cookie
I see that it is round
Raise your hand if you can name an attribute of it
Do they have any attributes that are the same?
Differentiation
Make sure to ask Jace questions in order to keep him involved throughout the lesson
He struggles with paying attention and staying on task in class.
Assessment/Evaluation:
I will assess what the students knowledge of what they have learned from the questions I ask while
giving the lesson and by the worksheet they complete. Mastery is at 80% accuracy.
Closure:
Charlie and Kate have blonde hair but Sophia has red hair
I have hazel eyes but Mrs. Hamilton has blue eyes
Today we talked about attributes of shapes, people, and food. Attributes are the shape, color, and
thickness of and object. Now here is a worksheet you can get started on where you sort the attributes of
each of the shapes given.
