Lesson+Plan+Two

· This lesson must be taught to the 6th graders so that they will correctly capitalize names and titles in papers and assignments. This lesson will teach them how to use this skill in everyday life. · To discover when to capitalize names and titles · To realize when to capitalize pronouns · To recognize that “I” is always capitalized · To recognize that abbreviations of names, and academic degrees are capitalized · O.1.1 Students will use their new rules about capitalizing names, titles, academic degrees, and abbreviations in papers and assignments. · O.1.2 Students will know not to capitalize a title after a pronoun. · A PowerPoint will be used with the rules for capitalizing names and titles for the students to copy into their notes. > Here is the PowerPoint: SD K-12 Content Standards: ** <span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-list: Ignore; msofareastfontfamily: Symbol; msobidifontfamily: Symbol; msolist: Ignore;">· 6.W.2.2 Students can identify and incorporate pronouns in the writing process. <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Symbol; mso-list: Ignore; msofareastfontfamily: Symbol; msobidifontfamily: Symbol; msolist: Ignore;">· <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">I will begin the lesson by using a bell ringer, which will be a diagnostic approach. This will help my instructions for the lesson, as to how deeply I should delve into the different rules that will be presented. I will write a few names on the whiteboard, and see if the students can correctly capitalize the names and initials. From then, I will proceed to explain the different rules for when to capitalize names, titles, academic degrees, and abbreviations, using the PowerPoint presentation, provided by my mentor. I will explain the rules and importance of the capitalizations to the students as they take notes. I will then conclude the lesson, and assign the homework assignment to the students. The students may begin working on the homework for the rest of the period, but the homework will be collected and graded the next class period. <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Symbol; mso-list: Ignore; msofareastfontfamily: Symbol; msobidifontfamily: Symbol; msolist: Ignore;">· <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">The students will be assigned page 476 exercises 3 and 4 for homework. The homework will be due the following class period. <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Symbol; mso-list: Ignore; msofareastfontfamily: Symbol; msobidifontfamily: Symbol; msolist: Ignore;">· <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">I assessed my lesson plan using a summative approach. The students were graded out of thirty questions; the class average was 27 out of 30, the lowest grade was a 15, and the highest was a 30. <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Symbol; mso-list: Ignore; msofareastfontfamily: Symbol; msobidifontfamily: Symbol; msolist: Ignore;">· <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> Overall, I feel like my lesson was successful. The students seemed to understand the different rules and are now capable of using the rules in everyday grammatical situations. I was satisfied with the grades that the students produced from my lesson; however, I hope that the student who received a 15 out of 30 will review his/her rules and will be able to correctly use the rules in the future. home
