Child: ‘Student’ E.                        Tutor: Katelyn Smith            Date: 3/5/2020                        Content Area: Science                                    Lesson #: 3 of 6 in sequence
    Unit EQ:           What role do animals play in our environment?
                                                                   Provide a statement of what students will be able to do AS A RESULT of (rather than AS PART OF) this lesson.
  Objective:           The student will be able to determine importance within nonfiction text using key words and develop a two to three sentence summary of his understanding.
                       This will include appropriate conventions and organization within his writing.
                                                                     Describe how you will collect evidence that individual students have indeed met the lesson objective:
Lesson Assmt:          The student will used key words that he gathers during reading to develop a two to three sentence key word summary.
           What modifications to this plan have been made to accommodate the diverse needs of the student (see http://education.msu.edu/te/elementary/pdf/Designing-Lessons-for-Diverse-
        Learners.pdf for additional ideas)?

 List any additional anecdotal student notes for consideration prior to professor review of this lesson.
            This lesson relates to students’ interest and aligns with current science content within his classroom. Word study is not being used in his current classroom, so this is something he is
            learning and it tends to take a bit more time. The TTR was cut short due to dad arriving and needing to take him. This lesson was about an hour and ten minutes; therefore, I did not feel
            like it was appropriate to keep him any longer. The last reading was not completed for this portion.

    You will provide a justification statement explaining WHY you are doing WHAT is written in the instructional plan. As we read your justifications, we are looking for a clear statement that
    synthesizes how your “instructional WHATs” connect in a cohesive way to your “WHY.” In particular, we want a justification statement that is informed by on-going student outcomes and
    reflects your role in RTI by way of the progress-monitoring-to-responsive-teaching cycle. Considerations may include:
