In this lesson you have learned how to organize the body of
your essay by using boxes and bullets.
Guided PracticeUse the introductory outline below to outline the body of the essay using the boxes and bullets on the next slide.
The lifecycle of mosquitos consists of four stages. Eggs are the first stage of the mosquito life cycle. Second, mosquitos go through the larva stage. The next stage of the life cycle is the pupa stage. The last stage of the cycle is the adult stage.
Guided Practice
Guided Practice
Review a body outline you have created.
1. Count the bullets to see where you need to add more information.
2. Go back to your texts and find additional information.
3. Add the information to your outline.
Extension Activities
Extension Activities
If you were to review a partner’s body outline, how could you tell if your partner was ready to begin drafting?• What details would you look for that would show
that your partner was ready?
• What warning signs would tell you that your partner wasn’t ready?
Extension Activities
Extension Activities
Work Backwards!• Look at a completed student essay. • Try to create the boxes and bullets outline that
the writer used by searching for the main ideas and details in each paragraph.
Let’s ReviewQuick Quiz
Use one of your introductory outlines and your research notes to outline the body of the essay using boxes and bullets.
Lesson Slides RubricUse this rubric to ensure your
lesson plan is great!
Writing Lesson Rubric Criteria for Success Things to avoid
Storyline or Arc of the Lesson
There is a clear arc to the lesson. One slide leads naturally to the next so that there is a flow and a building of meaning
All the components of the lesson are there but they seem disconnected, as if the author wrote each without thinking about how they fit into the whole.
Hook Slide
The teacher poses a simple question that illicits the response, “yeah, I do wonder how that works…”
The question is short A relevant example is included when it is short and
further pulls the learner in The question mirrors what the student will do in
the guided practice
The question seems formulaic, inauthentic, or overly “school-ish” (message: you have to learn this because you’re in school rather than, this is genuinely interesting)
The hook is overly-complicated and potentially confusing The question does not parallel the guided practice
questions
Objective Slide
The objective follows the form (you will learn X by doing Y)
Is concise and follows the form provided in the examples
Does not follow the form Is overly vague in describing either the X or the Y Is too long Is written for teachers but not students
Let’s Review
Reminds the student of how this lesson fits within the writing process
Is as concise as possible
Is either too detailed or not detailed enough in connecting the lesson to other lessons
Leaves out important touch points Makes the lesson overly dependent on the other lessons
(student will be confused or feel like they’ve made a mistake, if they watch this lesson alone)
Is too elaborate
Common Mistake Points out a “common mistakes” that students
make and quickly explains why that is a mistake The mistake is overly simplistic or complicated. Does
not feel authentic
Steps
Clearly connects with the objective Includes 2-3 steps that a writer can take to achieve
the objective Is student focused (the steps accurately imagine
what a student who has never done this before will need to do)
Is logical and specific (you can visualize the act of doing the step. There is no magic leap that happens between steps)
The connection with the objective is unclear Includes 4+ steps (and therefore should be split into two
or more lessons) Involves a magic leap that assumes a student can make
a leap between steps that is natural to an adult
Modeling
Is in “think aloud” format. The teacher is opening up his/her thought process to the student and modeling the struggle; showing how he/she drafts and revises ideas in his/her mind
Engages the learner by asking questions along the way to build suspense
Examples are authentic - they show empathy for the learner and his/her interests, concerns, problems without speaking down the learner
Fails to explain his/her thinking along the way. The teacher effortlessly runs through the steps as if it’s all obvious and easy
Does not ask any questions along the way to pull the learner in
Uses examples which are unlikely to connect with the learner’s life
Steps and Objective Review
Reviews the steps and objective in a “see what I just did” way
Serves as a “let’s pull this all together” moment that helps organize the lesson in the learner’s mind
Creates abrupt feeling between the modeling and the reviewing (subtext: “we’re done modeling, let’s quickly bring this lesson to a close.”)
Guided Practice Challenges the learner to carry out the same steps Is at the same difficulty level modeled in the lesson
Seem unrelated to the hook question Is at a different difficulty level than that modeled in the
lesson
Extension Activity Suggestions
Includes suggestions for at least 2 extensions Includes a suggestion for a struggling student who
needs more opportunities for practice as well as a student ready to be challenged more
Suggestions should clearly build from the approach in the core lesson
Does not include differentiation Does not thoughtfully connect or flow from the lesson Does not clearly build from the approach in the core
lesson
Aesthetics
The slides use the correct colors (blue, green, red) in the correct sequence
The slides use the correct fonts The slides use handwriting and the handwriting
appears as written in the right places The slides only use the headers/titles provided The slides use the provided visuals or include
visuals created by the author or LearnZillion The slides use animation, highlighting, and circling
to scaffold the learning, keeping the eye focused on what the teacher is introducing/explaining
The slides clean and uncluttered. The visuals and text do not exceed the maximum amount (see tutorial for example of maximum)
The slides use other colors or vary the order of the colors
The slides add new headers/titles that aren’t part of the template
The slides use clip art The slides are cluttered Animation is distracting and feels more like sizzle than
part of the steak
