LESSON PLAN FORMAT FOR STUDENT TEACHING
(2012)
Kansas State University
Name: Andrea
Stockwell
TITLE: Cause and Effect DATE: Monday 3/12/2012
GRADE LEVEL:
5th Grade SUBJECT: Reading Skills
TIME FRAME:
45 minutes, 1:30-2:15
______________________________________________________________
STANDARDS:
Standard 1: The student reads and
comprehends text across the curriculum.
Benchmark
4: The
student comprehends a variety of texts (narrative, expository, technical, and
persuasive).
Indicator 8: The student links causes and effects in
appropriate-level narration, expository, and technical texts, and identifies
signal words related to cause-effect relationships.
OBJECTIVES:
The
student will recognize cause and effect signal words.
The
student will reconstruct sentences using cause and effect signal words.
The
student will demonstrate knowledge of cause and effect signal words.
ASSESSMENT:
The
students are completing a worksheet about signal words. They will receive one
point for each correct answer. The worksheet is worth 10 points. I expect the
students to score at least 8/10 points. This addresses the objectives because
the students have to recognize the signal words to be able to reconstruct the
sentences for the worksheet. The students have to complete an exit card worth 3
points, 1 point for each sentence. The sentences should be similar to: “This
happened, because I did this.” “Cause, signal word effect.” I expect all of the
students to get at least 2/3 points. They are demonstrating their knowledge of
cause and effect signal words by creating new sentences with the signal words
in them.
MATERIALS and TECHNOLOGY:
Smart
board, note cards, pencils, and paper, compilation worksheet from http://www.readworks.org/lessons/grade3/cause-and-effect/lesson-1

ADAPTATIONS FOR SPECIAL NEEDS STUDENT (S):
Students
that are labeled as ADD should be stimulated throughout the lesson as they are
completing tasks. If they become off-task or are having focus issues, then they
will be ask to get a stress ball to stay on task. The lower level students will
be monitored to make sure they are on task and completing their work in a timely
manner.
BEGINNING OF LESSON: (8 minutes)
The
students will come in and sit in their assigned spots. I will drop an
alka-seltzer tablet into a vase of water. The students will see the tablet
dissolve as it bubbles. I will questions them about what caused the tablet to
fizz (hitting the water) and what was the effect of the tablet hitting the
water (it fizzing). We will discuss how there are cause and effect
relationships everyday we just have to look for them. Please take out your writing journals.
MIDDLE OF LESSON: (30
minutes)
The students will take notes
on a Presi presentation about different signal words that go with cause and
effect. The presentation will discuss what causes are and what effects are. We
will discuss how a cause comes from an effect and how you cannot have an effect
without a cause. The presentation will go over what the signal words are for
cause and effect and what the students need to look for when looking for cause
and effect. We will then do some practice sentences are the smart board using
our signal words as a whole class. Then in partners the students will complete
a worksheet with the different signal words. The students have to rewrite the
sentences using the appropriate signal word. If students are having trouble
completing the task in partners they can complete the task on their own.
LESSON ENDING (7 minutes):
The students will return to
their home seats and fill out an exit card. On the exit card the students have
to create three cause/effect sentences with a signal word of their choosing. I
will go over what the exit card should look like, how many sentences they
should have, and what those sentences should look like. I will remind them that
they have about 5 minutes to complete this task and it is due at the end of
class.
RETEACHING:
If the students are not
getting the concept of the signal words for cause and effect another build on
activity would be to highlight the signal words in a passage so they can see
the words in practice.
