Direct Instruction Lesson Plan Analysis: Writing Strategies This lesson plan is very strong overall because it is well-organized,

thorough, and creative. I really like how this lesson plan has on screen questions or bell work included. I also like how this lesson keeps the students engaged and active during the teaching time. The aspects of this lesson that correlate to the direct instruction model are: content, learning objectives, introduction and review, presentation, guided practice, independent practice, and assessment. The content of this lesson plan is on using descriptive words in writing, which is well-defined knowledge and a procedural skill, and these are best taught using the direct instruction model. The learning objectives are: learn how descriptive words make stories clearer and more interesting and write stories using descriptive words. These meet the criteria for learning objectives for a direct instruction lesson: 1) conceptual knowledge and 2) procedural skills. The bell work for this lesson plan also serves as the introduction and review that connects the lesson to previous lessons and prepares the students for the concept for the day. The teacher presents and demonstrates using descriptive words by describing a familiar object in the room to the students while they have their eyes closed. The teacher then leads class discussion on why using descriptive words in writing is important. For guided practice, the students work together to brainstorm descriptive words for household items. During independent practice, the students write a descriptive paragraph about a common classroom item without giving away its name. The students then switch and have to guess what the item is. This part is also the assessment piece, and the students are graded according to their use of descriptive words and writing mechanics.

If I could tweak this lesson plan, I would have the students describe something a little more exciting than a familiar classroom item. I might have them describe an animal, or a superhero, or a famous person.
