Grade Level
Teacher's Name
Volume

II. Date (current date)


III. Objective (S.M.A.R.T / Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Results Focused & Time Bound)

IV. Standards (At least one Florida Standard)

V. Plan (Beginning, Middle and End)

Write in the sequence of activities and events in your lesson
Example: a) Anticipatory Set, b) Lecture c) Activity, d) Assessment

VI. Assessment

Each objective with its aligned standard must be assessed for student comprehension and success.
Example: Formative Assessment like an exit ticket or a unit assessment.

Exit tickets are a formative assessment tool that give teachers a way to assess how well students understand the material they are learning in class. ... Teachers can then use this data for adapting instruction to meet students' needs the very next day.




VII. Homework

Be specific about which task they should complete.

VIII. Cross-Curriculum Standards

Think of other subjects you could incorporate in your lesson
Example: English Language Arts (ELA), including ELA standards.

IX. Differentiation

Include differentiation through content, process and product.
Example: Students with disabilities and ELL (English Language Learner)

X.Technology

Add technology, skills and standard as much as possible.
The corona virus crisis certainly makes the need for technology in instruction necessary.

XI. Written Component

Writing is a transferable skill.
Students should learn how to write about the artistic/creative process.

XII. Careers Skills

It prepares students for life outside school.
Teach career-ready practices for students to prepare for life outside the classroom.

50.  Students will be given instructions for the remaining time and the teacher will provide positive group feedback regarding behavior and participation. 

6). Assessment

Students will be assessed individually based off of willingness to participate and engage with different activities. Individual swimming skills will be assessed and assigned a level (minnow, shark, dolphin, turtle, etc.)
Students will be assessed as a class overall based on behavior and cooperation.

7). Homework

Students will be encouraged to practice aquatic safety in their lives and outside of the classroom.
Students will be asked to reflect on their experience today and research the aquatic animal they were assigned in their evaluation assessment. A short series of questions will be outlined to guide their research. They will need to provide a summary of this animal in the following science course where as a group they will discuss and reflect on how each animal uses their physical and behavioral adaptions to be successful in their environment.

8). Cross-Curriculum Standards

To connect this lesson in Physical Education to Science student’s homework will require they research an aquatic animal. This connection will allow them to reflect on their experiences and skills they learned today but will also require they expand their thinking by exploring and learning more about animals who live underwater. The focus will be on behavioral and physical adaptations these animals have and how it aids them in underwater living.  

Component II. Interaction of Society and the Environment
Objectives 1.  Describe examples of the physical and behavioral adaptions that allow animals to live successfully in their environment and how organisms best adapt to compete for the available resources will be successful and pass their adaptions (traits) tot their offspring.
Competency A. After using the science process skills in hands-on activities, the students will explain their interdependency of living organisms in an ecosystem.

9). Differentiation

The lesson will have different levels of ability to accommodate for the different experiences and prior knowledge students will bring to the lesson. Students who have already learned any of the techniques or skills will be provided additional instructions to challenge them, so they are still engaged in the lesson.

10). Technology

Technology will not be utilized in the lesson. Technology will be utilized in the homework component where students will be asked to research an aquatic animal.

11). Written Component

Through cross- curriculum collaboration students will be tasked with a small written research component to connect the skills they learned in the lesson with aquatic animals. The research will be guided by a series of questions about the assigned animals’ physical attributes and behavioral qualities. The aim will be to allow students to understand and see the connection between physical qualities, behavioral skills and environmental success within an ecosystem.

12). Career Skills

Through cross- curriculum collaborations students will begin to think analytically and learn to make connections between the things they learn in different classes. It will also be beneficial for students to begin to learn to conduct qualitative research on their own and building their skills with technology (databases, Google searches, online articles, etc.).
