Instructional Procedures (InTASC 2. Learning Differences; InTASC 6. Assessmsnt;
InTASC 7. Planning for Instruction; InTASC 8. Instructional Strategies)
Assessing Prior Knowledge Students will have a review of the roles and concepts of the
Agricultural Revolution. I will use sharing with the class as my assessment to see what they
remember.
Direct Instruction Using PowerPoint slides, I will talk about what a civilization is, how it
became present in our society to this day, and the characteristics that make up a civilization. I
will also include videos to help illustrate my point.
Interaction Guided Practice Students will work in pairs to jot down differences and
similarities on the three civilizations I show in class.
Closure We will finish the lecture and take an exit slip before the end of class. I will remind
them of important dates and to turn in late/missing work.
