Lesson Planning
InTASC Standard 7: The teacher plans instruction that supports every student in meeting rigorous learning goals by drawing upon knowledge of content areas, curriculum, cross-disciplinary skills, and pedagogy, as well as knowledge of learners and the community context.
Introduction
Lesson planning involves incorporating objectives, standards and the curriculum. This process is completed after long term and unit planning in order to create daily objectives.
Lesson Plan- Point of View
This lesson plan is aligned with the common core state standards. This model is a fairly new concept that is needed to build off of to comprehend the author's point of view.
When I have finished lesson planning, I create engaging power points to teach my students a certain skill. I incorporate their interests and a variety of multimedia options to keep my students engaged. Each slide is organized into information, hooks and a verbal exit ticket assessment. The information on the slides are to be copied by the students and stored in their notes. The hooks are to engage astudents and are aligned with the skill. The exit ticket assessment is usually at the end of the assessment and is used to see if students comprehend the skill.
Power Point
The student work provided is a worksheet with quotes. The quotes are in first, second, and third person and the students must identify the point of view and explain why that sentence is that point of view. This worksheet has sentence starters and the next worksheet that builds off of this lesson will not have sentence starters. I use this method because I want to gradually allow students create their own sentences with their own thoughts and opinions.
This lesson plan is aligned with the common core state standards. This model is a fairly new concept that is needed to build off of to comprehend the author's point of view.
This plan was created with backwards planning. The standard is reading literature 5.6:Describe how a narrator’s or speaker’s point of view influences how events are described. To teach how a narrator's point of view influences events, I first have to teach students point of view itself. I learned that I must highlight where students might have difficulty understanding. In this particular lesson, students struggle with identifying the difference between each point of view. The next step, is to teach them the significance of first person writing. First person writing is important because the reader sees how the author feels via their words.
In addition to planning, I use exit tickets to see whether my students comprehend the content. I also assess them verbally after presentation questions.

Lesson Plan Reflection
Teaching this lesson was a great experience. The students enjoyed learning about point of view via videos. First person was challenging to some of my students because of the words other than I, me and my. The students struggled with the words we and us because those words did not directly pertain to an individual. Using the video to identify first person words helped because the speaker taught the viewers how to make a meal.
When it comes to second person, the students enjoyed learning about it. The video that helped the students learn the point of view was an instructional video that teaches students how to play football. This point of view was easy to retain for my students because the signal words are you and you're.
Finally, third person was the most difficult because there are a variety of words that signal that point of view. The signal words for this point of view are they, them, him, her, she ,he, it and a person's name. After watching the video on describing Steph Curry, students understood this point of view better.
Using videos, check for understanding cues and assessments are key in promoting growth in scholars. Proper lessson is vital for effective instructional practices.
Above is the powerpoint link I created to teach point of view. Each slide breaks down first, second and third person with their characteristics. In addition, a video with a person speaking in that point of view is presented. After each video, students must discuss how the speaker used the point of view in their speech. In addition, I highlight the purpose of first person using a video with Marshawn Lynch. This was an impact because students really visualized themselves as Lynch and expressed how he felt using third person.
