A. Submitthreestandards-based lesson plans from your two-week unit plan. (Note: The lesson plans should highlight the use of academic language, technology, use of content discussions and/or questioning strategies, and differentiated instruction.) Each lesson plan should include the following:

identification of general information (i.e., topic, grade, student grouping, seating arrangement, where the lesson fits in the unit plan)

identification of standards and measurable objectives (condition, behavior, and criterion)

instructional materials (e.g., class handouts) for students and teacher

description of resources (e.g., technology) for students and teacher

prerequisite skills, connections to previous learning, and common misconceptions

description of instructional activities (presentation of new information, guided practice, independent practice, time allotment for each activity) in enough detail that another teacher could follow them

description of formative assessments used to monitor student learning

description of sense-making and/or wrap-up opportunities

Note: You may create new lesson plans or adapt or utilize existing ones. The lesson plans should all fit within the focus of the unit, but they do not need to be consecutive lessons. Each of the three lesson plans you submit must include the presentation of new material rather than a review of material or the administration of an assessment. You may use the attached "Lesson Plan Template" or any other lesson plan template of your choosing that supports the instructional sequence of the lesson and includes the given points. If you do not use the WGU lesson plan template, you must add any missing components and label them clearly.

B. Discuss the instructional strategies used in your three lesson plans by doing the following:

1. Describe howonelesson was designed to accommodate specific learning needs.

2. Describe howonelesson was designed to use mathematics-specific technology to build understanding.

3. Describe howonelesson was designed to use content discussions and/or questioning strategies to engage students.

4. Describe howonelesson was designed to connect content to a practical application in everyday life.

5. Describe howonelesson was designed to address common misconceptions
