Lesson #1

Class / Grade: 3rd Grade Math

(e.g. 9th Grade Algebra)
General Content
Objective:
(e.g. SWBAT…)
Product - how will
students demonstrate their
learning that day
(e.g. Writing a paragraph
about…)
SWBAT read and interpret data from a bar graph and
pictograph.
Students will interpret a bar graph that represents an offered data
set and will read and orally explain the data to a peer through the
lesson and to the teacher to check comprehension for
assessment.

Product Emphasis: Reading, Writing, Speaking, Listening

SWBAT identify the various parts of a graph
in a bar graph and pictograph and label a
graph correctly.
content objective?
A strong understanding of the vocabulary of
graphs will allow students to understand the
lesson, understand how to find information on
the graphs to interpret, and have the essential
vocabulary to read and use graphs.

2. Language Skills and Functions How does this connect to / help reinforce the
content objective?
SWBAT explain how to find the data in a Students will need to know where and how to
graph and explain how to interpret the data find the various pieces of information on a
mathematically. graph that is needed to interpret it. Having
students explain orally their process and logic
of how to locate the data in a graph from the
various parts reinforces content objective that
seeks to have students interpreting data from
graphs.
3. Language Structures and Grammar How does this connect to / help reinforce the
content objective?
SWBAT ask and answer conditional if-then To interpret data, students will need to look at
questions that correspond to the graphs and its various points on a graph and ask and answer
data. conditional questions such as (If the gray bar
is this %, then what number of people does it
represent?). Interpreting and reading data is
analyzing numerical values on the graph from
the various points and students using oral if

4. Language Learning Strategies
SWBAT make and confirm predictions and
responses to questions with a peer.
then conditionals will reinforce the targeted
skill of interpreting data.
How does this connect to / help reinforce the
content objective?
Students are using oral language to make
predictions from data and confirm them by
using the data. Having a peer to make and
confirm predictions with allows students to
self-monitor and work collaboratively to
engage speaking practice before the teacher
will check for oral comprehension of the
graph and its data.

Lesson #2
(Does not necessarily need to be connected to Lesson #1)
(Ideally, use a different product emphasis from your last lesson)

Class / Grade: 1st Grade Science

(e.g. 9th Grade Algebra)
General Content SWBAT identify adaptations that help animals navigate daytime
Objective: and nighttime environments.
(e.g. SWBAT…)
Product - how will Student will write two to three sentences that illustrate different
students demonstrate their adaptations between animals that navigate daytime and
learning that day nighttime environments. Student will use comparing and
(e.g. Writing a paragraph contrasting words to write the sentences that corresponds to two
about…) different animals with different adaptations; one that is nocturnal
and one that is diurnal.
Product Emphasis: Reading, Writing, Speaking, Listening
(Highlight One)

1. Academic Vocabulary How does this connect to / help reinforce the

SWBAT apply, in writing and orally, new
vocabulary words that relate to either
nocturnal or diurnal animals.
content objective?
Students need the lesson vocabulary in order
to correctly compare and contrast adaptations
of animals. A strong understanding of the
vocabulary, in written or oral language, will
assist them in building the skills needed for
their final product.

2. Language Skills and Functions How does this connect to / help reinforce the
content objective?
SWBAT develop one-sentence summaries
that gives specific details of adaptations in
nocturnal and diurnal animals.
3. Language Structures and Grammar
SWBAT use words of comparison and
contrast (alike, different) orally and in writing
to describe animals that are nocturnal and
those that are diurnal.
4. Language Learning Strategies
SWBAT identify sections of the text to reread
to clear up confusion by using highlighted
vocabulary words, headings, and illustrations.
To compare and contrast, students will need
to be able to summarize individual adaptation
details to be able to compare and contrast the
information with that of other animals.
Having a clear and concise summary of
specific animal adaptations will reinforce and
help streamline the creation of the final
product.
How does this connect to / help reinforce the
content objective?
The foundational use of words of comparison
and contrast directly helps students with the
content and towards making their final
product. Being able to use words such as alike
and different allows students to form oral and
written sentences with adjectives that connect
their ideas together.
How does this connect to / help reinforce the
content objective?
When students are unsure or not
understanding a detail, rereading the text and
using text features will help to clarify tougher
content and details.
