Lesson Plans
Lesson plans are step-by-step instructions that stay within standards and guidelines. These lesson plans are created by the teachers before class begins and helps the student learn new things.
“The purpose of lesson plans is to help students stay focused on learning materials, provide timely feedback, allow students to process time, and keep students motivated” (Estes & Mintz, 2016).
Classroom and Student Factors/Grouping
“A classroom that has been grouped when the one large group of students assigned to that classroom is divided into a set of small groups for some portion of the time they are in the classroom”
Students have a better time learning when they are individually addressed or when they are in groups. When the students are in groups, they can learn to help each other and when working on projects they can help provide feedback for each other.

National/State Learning Standards
Sometimes the National/State Learning Standards correspond to the state that you are in. Most times you have to have certain standards and skills when it comes to the curriculum.
The purpose of these learning standards used with the lesson plans are to help the students reach their full potential. It’s also to help them reach their academic goals so they are able to go to college and be successful in their jobs.
Learning Objective
Learning objectives helps the teachers stay on track with tasks and also helps students understand the content. With learning objectives students are able to master the content successfully.

Alignment
The alignment allows for proficient and successful learning.
The purpose of alignment is to help the students reach the goals of the lessons. This can be done by bringing all the components together to make it whole.
Academic Language
“Academic language refers to the oral, written, auditory, and visual language proficiency required to learn effectively in schools and academic programs” (Academic Language Definition. (2013).
The purpose of academic language is to bring the whole lesson plan together. Academic language is important when it comes to learning.
Anticipatory Set
Anticpatory set is a part of the lesson that teachers talk about first to get the students’ attention right away.
The purpose of the anticipatory set is to help the students prepare for the lesson that day. It helps the students become engaged and interested in what the teacher is teaching.
Prior Knowledge
Prior knowledge is where students add new information to the knowledge they already have.

in small groups or by a single student” (Extension Task, n.).
learning more meaningful, as they give learning a chance to personalize language and content” (Extension Task, n.).
Guided Practice Guided practice is helping students into practice on what they just learned.
The purpose of guided practice is “to serve as a bridge to being successful when students apply the strategy (ies) independently” (Guided Practice, n.). Guided practice will also help bring out the students’ full potential so that they can succeed.
Independent Practice Independent practice means students can strengthen their skills by working by themselves.
The purpose of independent practice is to help students strengthen their skills. Students can also complete lessons on their own when they know what their skill level is at.
Closure Closure is a quick and final review of the lesson plan and its instructions.
The purpose of closure is to make sure that students understand what is going to be taught in that days lesson. It’s always important to make sure that all students’ questions are answered.
Formal Assessment
A formal assessment (s) is used when teachers want to know how much their students are learning.
The purpose of formal assessments is to see how much students have grown in their learning. It’s also to assess what they still need to work on and what the teacher needs to modify to help the students learn better.
Informal Assessment
“Informal assessments are a form of assessment that can easily be incorporated in the day-to-day classroom activities and that measure the students’ performance and progress” (Using informal assessments for ELLs, n.).
“The purpose of informal assessments is to allow the teachers to track the ongoing progress of theirs students regularly and often” (Using informal assessments for ELLs, n.).
Pre-assessment
“Pre-assessments are the instruments or methods teachers use to determine students’ knowledge, skills, or dispositions before instruction” (uknowledge.uky).
“The purpose of pre-assessments are to help teachers determine where to begin instruction and also provide teachers with baseline data from which to plot students’ learning progress” (uknowledge.uky).
Formative Assessment
“Formative assessments are assessments that provide students and teachers with information about how students are progressing” (Estes & Mintz, 2016).
The purpose of formative assessments is to see where the students are in their understanding of different things. This includes instructions, lesson plans, assignments and goals. Formative assessments also allows the teachers to modify their instructions if they need to.
Summative Assessment
“The summative assessment is an assessment is designed to occur at the end of a chunk of instruction in which students have had the opportunity for formative assessment feedback” (Estes & Mintz, 2016).
The purpose of summative assessment is to have feedback from the formative assessment. It’s also to see what and how much the students have learned and what skills they have acquired.
Scoring Rubric A scoring rubric is practically a guideline to help students with their assignments.
The purpose of a scoring rubric is to help students. The students have a guideline to follow that helps them complete their assignments.
Cross-curricular
Cross-curricular are academic studies that come together to make a whole connection to help students learn better.
The purpose of cross-curricular allows the students to understand the different academic areas.
Examining Different Lesson Plan Formats
There are four lesson plan components that are in both the SIOP template and the COE template. These components include the lesson topic, lesson summary, the state standards and the amount of time it will take to teach the lesson. Formative and summative assessments can also be found in both these templates.
There are two similarities in the terminology between these two templates. One similarity is the standards and the second is the assessments. The COE template uses clear and understanding terminology while the SIOP template does not. There are two difference in the terminology between these templates. One difference is that the SIOP uses presentation while the COE template does not. The second difference is that while the SIOP does not use the anticipatory set, the COE does.
