                **UNIVERSITY OF MAINE AT FARMINGTON** ** COLLEGE OF EDUCATION, HEALTH AND REHABILITATION **  **LESSON PLAN FORMAT **     Student will understand that there are multiple common mechanical errors. Student will know punctuation: colon, semi-colon, comma, dash, hyphen, quotation, apostrophe, ellipses, exclamation mark, question mark, and period. Student will be able to do be aware of their own reoccurring mechanical errors.  Maine Learning Results: English Language Arts- D. Language D2 Mechanics Grades 9- Diploma Students demonstrate the use of the structures and conventions of //Standard American English// in their communication. a. Use appropriate punctuation, spelling, and sentence and paragraph structure to suit purpose, situation, and audience   Students will use a graphic organizer to write definitions and examples of the punctuation they already know. Students will collaborate with a group to see if they have the same answers. They will then give their best definition to the class and someone from the group will write the sentence on the board. Students see what others thought and they can decide together on the best answer; they will then hear my answer if their answer is lacking in any way. Students will revise their graphic organizer so that it is full and complete. I will help them discuss their final graphic organizer so that everyone understands each aspect of the punctuation.  •**WebQuest**: [] Students will complete this WebQuest in the beginning of the unit to remind each other and themselves of different aspects of grammar. It is meant as a fun review; however, I am aware that for some students it will be the first time seeing some parts. If you are a student who find themselves learning, then it is okay- great actually. There are 30 points available for this WebQuest, and I will use the rubrics within the WebQuest to score your project. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">The winter seasonal partners will sit together after they individually filled out their own graphic organizers. They will share their definitions and examples and agree on a final definition and example. The same partners will share a sentence with the class after I've assigned them a specific punctuation mark. This way each set of partners have a chance to share with the class. They will write the sentences on the board. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; msospacerun: yes;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">I will review student’s IEP, 504 or ELLIDEP and make appropriate modifications and accommodations. The Graphic Organizer will be available on the Class Wiki. There will also be a completed graphic organizer that they can use //after// they complete the blank one to the best of their ability. They will show me their completed graphic organizer with one color for their first try and another for changes and additions. That way I know that they filled the graphic organizer alone first. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Students will take the knowledge they learned in the lesson and in their research in the WebQuest to create an educational imovie or PowerPoint. Having the students become the teacher in this project will insure that they fully understand the Grammar. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">I created this lesson; sources for support and sites I will use in the lesson are below. imovie tutorial []

Students can choose from movies, songs, essays, and games to collect information for their imovie or PowerPoint. Their imovie or PowerPoint is also full of choices since they are able to be creative. The only guideline is that it is informative of the grammar they researched. The Clipboard students will be very comfortable with class one's set up because students will use a graphic organizer to fill out the information. They will also enjoy the WebQuest because it is set up step by step. There are clear guidelines and steps for everything we are working on. The Puppydogs will always be safe in my class because we have a clear respect rule. Students cannot make fun of other students because everyone is always learning and growing. The microscopes will enjoy the WebQuest because it gives them a chance to really delve into the different aspects of grammar. By choosing one subject, they can include research of the history and changes. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> In order to write properly, students need to know their own personal mistakes and pet peeves. Students will discuss these with each other with GrammarGirl and me as their examples. Students will start thinking about grammatical rules that are either important to them or that they struggle with. It will show them that they care about grammar to an extent. This shows the importance. Also, while they fill out the graphic organizer's definitions and examples to the best of their ability, they will learn their weaknesses. Most students claim they know what a semi-colon is, yet when they need to describe its use to someone else they have problem, that is because they don't truly understand it. The hook and the graphic organizer will help students with the understanding facet self-knowledge. Students will realize where they need improvement. Students will have a chance to learn about each punctuation mark by errors in their graphic organizer and examples from their classmates. They will then take it one step further by finishing the lesson off with a WebQuest that uses movies, songs, and games to teach them about grammar. Then, by completely understanding the grammar, they will teach their classmates their assigned topic.

•**WebQuest**: [] Students will complete this WebQuest in the beginning of the unit to remind each other and themselves of different aspects of grammar. It is meant as a fun review; however, I am aware that for some students it will be the first time seeing some parts. If you are a student who find themselves learning, then it is okay- great actually. There are 30 points available for this WebQuest, and I will use the rubric that is part of the handouts to grade the final project. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Students will enter the classroom and sit in the desks that are arranged in two's. Once students have filled out the graphic organizer on their own, they will find their winter seasonal partner and sit with that person in the desk pairs. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">I will teach students to understand that there are multiple common mechanical errors. Without proper Grammar, others may misinterpret writing or not take the writer seriously; so, we must be aware of our own reoccurring mistakes in order to fix them. **//Students demonstrate the use of the structures and conventions of// Standard American English //in their communication.//** I will introduce the lesson with a sound clip of GrammarGirls' grammar mistake blog. Then we will have a class discussion about what grammatical errors irritate or baffle the students. This starts the realization that grammar //is// important even to them. I will write their comments on the board to keep a list going. (10 minutes) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Students will collaborate with a group to see if they have the same answers. I will walk around and help the students who need help. After I give the partners each a punctuation mark, they will give their best definition to the class and someone from the group will write the sentence on the board. Students will be aware of their own reoccurring mechanical errors. I will help them understand the grammar rules, not just memorize by working with the definitions and examples. I will guide them through the examples when they are working on the board to make sure there is no confusion. The winter seasonal partners that they already have will sit together **after** they individually filled out their own graphic organizers. They will share their definitions and examples and agree on a final definition and example. The same partners will share a sentence with the class after I've assigned them a specific punctuation mark. This way each set of partners have a chance to share with the class. They will write the sentences on the board. (45 min)

 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">I will give each partner group a different punctuation mark to give their definition and write on the board. They will write their sentences on the board and we will discuss each one until everyone understands. (30 min)
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Before they leave class I will show them where to access the WebQuest and give them their assignment: They will read the introduction to the WebQuest, choose three topics they would prefer to focus on, and email me their choices. (5 min)
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">I will separate the class into teams, choosing the sizes of the groups according to the students' abilities.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">The second day, when the students enter the room, the desks will be separated in groups according to the amount of people per team. One the table will be their topics. Students will use the entire class to work on their WebQuests together. (75 min)
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">The last five minutes I will assign the homework for that night: finishing their WebQuests to be ready for class the next day. (5 min)
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">The Third day, students will have five minutes when they come and sit in their groups again. This is just to make sure that they are prepared to present. ( 5 min)
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Students will present to the class and I will grade them using the rubric I have as a handout.
 * Where, Why, What, Hook, Tailor: Musical, Verbal, Intrapersonal**
 * Day One: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> Students will know punctuation: colon, semi-colon, comma, dash, hyphen, quotation, apostrophe, ellipses, exclamation mark, question mark, and period. I will give students a graphic organizer that they can use to fill in with the definitions. I will walk around and watch students work so that I can obtain a feel of where they are. Once we are working in a group, I will begin to lend a hand to individual mistakes and misunderstandings. Students will be able to see what others thought and they can decide together on the best answer. (15)

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> For the graphic organizer, students will be able to see what they know and what they need to learn. Students will go home and read the introduction of the WebQuest, and they will choose their first, second, and third choices of which section they want to teach. After they have emailed me the choices, I will separate the students into groups. Since they will work in a group, students will be constantly learning and rechecking their work in conversation and comparison. Students will be able to learn all of the sections of the WebQuest and they will be prepared to work on the next lesson: Sentence and Paragraph Structure. Once they know the basics, they will be able to build the correct formulas for sentences. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">
 * Day Two:** Students will be able to use the entire day to work on the WebQuest. I will guide their group work to insure that they are staying on topic at all times. They will know their deadline at the start of the class so that students won't be surprised by a sudden deadline at the end of the day. I will give a lending hand if they need it. I will be available to answer questions. Students will make an imovie or PowerPoint that teaches other students about their topic. The groups will be based on the topics they choose as well as their ability to work alone. Students who already have a great grasp of the information would be better off in a pair for the project; however I would be willing to go up to four students per group for students who struggle with the definitions.
