Direct Instruction Lesson Plan

Teachers: Herr Muzzy, Frau Johnson Subject: German 2

Common Core State Standards:

● PW.IL.1 - Write and share short messages about familiar topics using a series of simple sentences.
● IC.IL.2 - Carry out short social interactions in everyday situations by asking and answering simple
questions.
Objective (Explicit):
● Students will be able to describe their favorite actor or singer and what they do.
Evidence of Mastery (Measurable):
◻ Include a copy of the lesson assessment.
◻ Provide exemplar student responses with the level of detail you expect to see.
◻ Assign value to each portion of the response.

Rate Mal Activity - Students will be writing a paragraph (10 sentences) on their favorite actor or
singer and in the next class they will share these paragraphs and their classmates will guess who is
being described. Students will turn it in to be graded by the teacher and read them to their
classmates during the next class period. (Mistakes on verbs will result in half point deduction, word
order mistakes will also be half point reductions, and serious spelling mistakes will be half point
reduction.) This activity is worth 15 points.
Sub-objectives, SWBAT (Sequenced from basic to complex):
◻ How will you review past learning and make connections to previous lessons?
◻ What skills and content are needed to ultimately master this lesson objective?
◻ How is this objective relevant to students, their lives, and/or the real world?
