Teacher directions

Teacher will complete a Nearpod lesson: Finding Bats. During the lesson Students will
be read to and will read to themselves. Students will engage themselves in collaborative
discussions with their peers. Students will practice highlighting main ideas and details
within the story. Students will complete a comprehension quiz during the interactive
lesson. The lesson will conclude with an exit ticket for the students to rate how well they
feel they understood the lesson.

During the interactive quiz, the teacher will be able to share model responses and
discuss answers. There will also be a spreadsheet that will give the teacher immediate
feedback. This will allow the teacher to plan a reteach lesson with which students are
struggling and also which questions may be troublesome as a whole.

Students will then log on to Seesaw and record themselves reading the passage. This
will allow the teacher to assess the students’ fluency. Then, they will complete a note to
summarize the passage. They will then respond to one peer.

Differentiated Instruction

The students will be read to and will be allowed to read independently. Peer tutors will
be strategically seated next to various students that may need more guidance. The
special education teacher will also be available to scaffold the information for the
students that may be struggling.

Setting

The lesson will take place in a 2nd grade classroom. The teacher implements flexible
seating. Students will select their own seats where they learn best.

Learners

There are 18 learners in the classroom. The teacher teaches two classes. Therefore,
each class will participate in the lesson and assessment. We are a Title I school of
diverse learners. The students are new to the technologies, but are eager to learn new
things. One of the classes will be an inclusion class and will have a special education
teacher to assist in co-teaching.
