For this assignment, you will create an interdisciplinary lesson that targets objectives for your content area and grade level, along with targeting one objective for English/Language Arts/Reading for your grade level. Keep the following in mind as you prepare your lesson plan:

1. Include the grade and content area in which you are pursuing licensure.
2. Find a piece of reading that you will share with your students. This can be a storybook, a nonfiction book, a set of instructions, a poem, a song, an article, a current event article, an excerpt from a book, a single chapter from a novel,  a short story, or any other type of reading you can think of. Make sure to include a link to the piece of reading or include the full text of the reading in your lesson plan document. Many storybooks are on YouTube, so a link to the YouTube video of someone reading the book is acceptable. Include an explanation regarding why you chose this piece of reading and how it connects to your content area.
3. Copy/paste the number/letter code and full wording of each state standard you plan to target for your content area and grade level. Copy/paste the number/letter code and full wording of ONE state standard for English/Language Arts/Reading (ELAR) for your grade level that you plan to target in your lesson. Do not include extra standards. Only include the standards you will use to create your objectives. If you are seeking certification for secondary English, you will copy/paste at least TWO state standards for ELAR and one state standard for either math, social studies, or science.
4. Create a properly written objective for each state standard that you have referenced. You should include at least 2 objectives, but no more than 4 objectives in total. If you are seeking certification for secondary English/Language Arts, then you will choose one of the other 3 core content areas to include in your lesson (math, social studies, science). Then include at least two English objectives and one objective from either math, social studies, or science.
5. Include a warm-up for your lesson that introduces the topic of the piece of reading you will share with your students and that introduces your objectives.
6. Instructional Strategies: Explain how you will use high-yield strategies to teach your objectives and guide the learning. Explain how you will include one specific literacy strategy to teach your ELAR objective. This should be the most detailed section of your lesson plan and should be highly focused on what you will do and not what your students will do.
7. Include a list of materials needed for the lesson including technology
8. Include a lesson closure / formative assessment. Note you must address BOTH components in order to earn full points on the rubric. Your closure activity may include a formative assessment component, but if you are combining the two, you must make this explicit in your plan. Make sure to show evidence of directly teaching the skills and concepts you plan to assess in the instructional strategies section. The assessments you plan need to make sense with the lesson you plan in the instructional strategies section. This is where you can explain what your students will do.
9. Include a plan for summative assessment. Make sure to show evidence of directly teaching the skills and concepts you plan to assess in the instructional strategies section. Your summative assessment needs to directly assess the skills and concepts from your direct teaching in the instructional strategies section.
10. Provide a plan to reinforce your objectives either through homework or during class the next day.
