Lesson Plan
Student Characteristics: Provide some insights, when appropriate, into the characteristics of your students. Include items such as the student’s grade level, any skills they need to undertake the lesson, the ability level of the students, the demographics of the class, and experiences of the students…
Setting: Provide some sense of how this lesson fits into a larger instructional picture such as the course title (Business Classes/grades 9-12), indications of what you already have taught, and how this might fit into a unit and/or program. Also, indicate the amount of time it might take to complete the lesson and other information, which might assist the reader in placing the lesson in context, such as how you might arrange the classroom.
Objectives: At the very least, your objectives should indicate what is expected of the student at the completion of the lesson—this should include both what the student is going to be able to do as result of the lesson and what the student is going to do it with. Start each objective starting with: The student will be able to: (and then you fill in the rest).
Procedures: Whereas the objectives indicate what you intend to do, the procedures describe how you plan to do it—consider the procedures a set of directions for the teacher. Make sure that you indicate how you plan to introduce (using an anticipatory set) and close the lesson (closure). Watch for transitions! If you plan to undertake two or three activities, make sure you indicate how you plan to make the transition from one activity to the next one. This should be a blue-print for your lesson. You may use Seven-Step Lesson Plan as a guide:
1. Anticipatory Set 2. Purpose 3. Instructional Strategy 4. Modeling 5. Guided Practice
6. Check for Understanding 7. Independent Practice

You don’t have to use Seven-Step Lesson Plan. If you do, your lesson may not have all seven components so don’t be concerned if your lesson doesn’t fit all of them.
Resources: This section should contain a list, and a description when appropriate, of the materials, readings, visual aids, etc., that are needed to undertake the lesson. You may include a worksheet, handout, if appropriate.
Evaluation: Indicate how you intend to determine, at the end of the lesson, whether you and the students fulfilled the objectives. This may be completed in any number of ways: test, quiz, observation, paper, presentation, and so on.
Note:
1. You need the appropriate information above using complete sentences, but not in paragraph form.
Consider this “handout” a template for how to construct your lesson plan. Try to do this single-spaced (except between categories) and you can use a smaller font.
2. If you get your information from another source, and many of you might and will, please be sure to cite your source appropriately. This could be from a teacher, a book, a resource guide, a website, etc. Make sure you cite where you received your information!!! You can do this after you mention your evaluation component or at the very beginning (by the title perhaps). Do not worry about following proper citing…but be as complete as you can.
3. A very important component is to go to DESE’s website, specifically http://dese.mo.gov/college-career-readiness/curriculum/missouri-learning-standards, to find Grade Level (for elementary) and Course Level Expectations (for middle and secondary content areas). When this page opens up, you will see Grade Level Expectations (for elementary) and Course Level Expectations (for middle and secondary content areas). You need to identify the appropriate Expectation(s) appropriately. Since Business will be your lesson plan for secondary, you will provide Common Core State Standards for that. You’ll note the standards you will need to find for your lesson when you click on the appropriate .pdf. Next, go to http://dese.mo.gov/show-me-standards. These are the Show Me Standards. You will click on this and find the Knowledge Standards and Performance Goals. Pick the appropriate content area(s) (Business) and find the respective standards. Please note the standard(s) at the bottom of the lesson plan. You may note it like this: Business 1 and 3. You and I will know what this means. Please note that if your lesson DOES NOT have Show Me Standards and/or Grade Level Expectations/Course Level Expectations, I want you to identify this in your paper. If your lesson DOES NOT have Show Me Standards and/or Grade Level Expectations-Course Level Expectations-Common Core State Standards, I want you to pick a content area (Business) and Grade Level area (9-12)/Course Level (secondary)/Common Core State Standard area and write a paragraph over what you read and what you think about it. These should be of appropriate length with some consideration over what you think about the Show Me Standards and Grade Level Expectations-Course Level Expectations-Common Core State Standards.
The difference between Grade-Level and Course-Level Expectations is generally that GLEs are for elementary and CLEs are for secondary (when there can be students in different grades taking the class). Common Core State Standards are tied to all levels of Math and English Language Arts.
