Anticipatory Set

Instructional Activities
This is a step-by-step outline of what you will do for the main portion of your lesson. In
this section you are demonstrating content, pedagogical and curricular knowledge. Anyone
should be able to follow this and execute the lesson as you imagine. You should include:
Content information
1) Students will learn about different tourist attractions around the state through prezi
2) Some examples are racing in Daytona Beach, cage free zoo in Miami, the Florida
Aquarium in Tampa, Kennedy Space Center, state capitol building in Tallahassee, and
theme parks including Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, and SeaWorld.
3). During prezi, students will use VR goggles to take virtual field trips to the attractions.
4.) During prezi, the students will also locate the city that holds each tourist attraction on
the state map handout they each received and place the predetermined icon there.
5.) Daytona beach will be a car, Miami Zoo will be a monkey, Florida Aquarium will be a
fish, Kennedy Space Center will be a star, state capitol building will be a house, Disney
World will be a Mickey Mouse head, Universal Studios will be the Universal globe, and
SeaWorld will be a wave.
6). After the prezi students will choose a favorite tourist attraction.
7.) As a class, the students will brainstorm what is important to include in a brochure and
they will be written on the white board for reference.
8.) Teacher will add any important elements that the students missed to the list.
9.) Using the local attraction brochures as a model, students will make their own
brochure advertising their selected attraction.

Fine motor skills delay
Additional notes that will help you think about instruction.

Closure
This is how you will quickly end the lesson. It should engage your learners. It should connect to
your goal(s). This is the last thing students will remember. This should be one form of formative
assessment
Students can compare their completed brochures to the real brochures for their select
Attraction to see how they compare. They can also share their brochures with other
classmates.

Meeting All Learners

Differentiation
Think of ways that will engage all students and be developmentally appropriate for the different
types of learners in your class. Think about Bloom’s Taxonomy or Multiple Intelligences as a
way you are meeting and challenging a variety of learners. Describe the learners you are
meeting, and how you are meeting them
1 Students could alternatively make a commercial, flyer, or diorama
2 Below level could have a templated brochure
3 Above level could have additional requirements for the brochure

Accommodations
Accommodations are ways the teacher are changing the lesson to specifically meet
 students IEP and/or 504 needs, but still reaching the overall learning goals for the
lesson. For this course, you do not have information about specific students, but try
to come up with one way you might meet a student who has a IEP and/or 504 need.
Keep it brief.
Student could have additional time to complete assignment

Modifications
Modifications are ways you are changing the learning goals for a student(s) who has an
IEP and/or 504 that states specific curricular modifications in performance standards.
For this course, you do not have information about specific students, but try to come
up with one way you might meet a student who needs the learning goals changed. State
the modification to the learning goal and change put in place to support that student.
Keep it brief.
Students with fine motor skill issues who will have trouble cutting, gluing, and
writing to make the brochure can make one online.

Meeting Objectives
Assessments
How will you and the students assess where the learning objectives, listed above, were
met? Each formal or informal assessment should describe how it is aligned to the above
objective(s).
There will be a rubric to assess the students on their brochure (attached)
