Reflection from prior lesson: Last lesson the students created the outline for their research paper. The students didn’t
have problems creating/editing the outline but many of them struggled with what information to put into their
outline.
Lesson Objectives:
Students will continue using the internet and books to find the necessary information for their research
paper. (partnered with English class) (continued)
Materials Needed: Microsoft Word, 16 Computers, students will bring their own notecards, research paper packets
provided by the English teacher
A. The Lesson
1. Introduction (5 minutes)
Remind students that they will need all of their information for their research paper with them. If
they forgot anything, they need to get it from their locker. Students should also log onto their
computer and open up a blank Word document. (5 min)
B. Assessments Used
Students will be receiving grades for the research paper in the English classroom. However, we
may give them a couple participation grades based upon whether they use their time wisely in our
classroom. (continued)
C. Differentiated Instruction
As the class is paced for the average speed of the class, the faster ones are able to continue
increasing their speed by working as fast as they can and also moving on to sections that others
may not be able to get to.
Students who may be struggling as fast as the others are to complete the assignment in the class
period and will get the extra practice later with at-home typing assignments.
Students will have extra time to get help with any questions they might have during this block and
during their English class.
