Lesson Plan Critique -- Parts of Speech (3rd grade)
Lesson Plan -- Parts of Speech
Thank you for sharing your lesson plan with me. I enjoyed reviewing the plan and visualizing the lesson being taught in your enthusiastic classroom of third graders. I have provided an overall summary of what I see as the strengths and weaknesses of the lesson plan. I have also given specific suggestions about ways to change out the lesson with the idea of maximizing your ability to meet the needs of a heterogeneous mix of students typical of third grade, and of this school and community.
Strengths and weaknesses of the lesson plan. Overall, the lesson is interesting and could be conducted in a manner that is highly engaging to the students. As it is outlined, the lesson covers several parts of speech. Depending on the experience of the children, this may be too broad for an introductory lesson. I discuss this in more detail elsewhere in this review of your lesson. I appreciate the way that you have structured the lesson plan in its written format; I recognized your application of our coaching session discussion in your outline. Several of the components of the lesson plan could use more detail and specifics to guide you in the event that you put lesson plan away and pull it out to use some time in the future. For example, you have not specified any materials to use for homework -- I can't tell whether you have created your own worksheet or if you will be using a commercially produced worksheet on parts of speech. The same comment applies to the quiz that you will conduct on the day following the lesson. The lack of specificity for assessment is of more concern to me, actually, than the lack of detail regarding the homework. I would like to see how your assessment plans fit into the larger picture of formative and summative assessment for learning and using the parts of speech. Moreover, it is important for a lesson plan to show the linkage to approved formal learning objectives, with regard to both pedagogy and assessment.
Examples for lesson improvement. Consider whether several concrete examples could be provided to the students...

Tracking Progress As a social studies teacher, one of my proudest accomplishments is when students take a real and meaningful interest in history. I love hearing students talk about how they enjoyed a historical movie or television series with their family and can identify things we studied in class on the 'silver screen.' I also delight when we have discussions about current events and students can make comparisons between 'then'
Leadership in 21st Century Support Systems Conducting learning activities without assessing the success of those activities is like driving a vehicle without a clean windshield and a rear-view mirror. The instructor can still steer, put on the gas and brakes, but if the instructor cannot clearly see the road ahead and what is behind, this could be an exercise in futility, leaving learning by the roadside. Indeed, assessments have become a
