Students will use Mentimeter to brainstorm words associated with "power" at the start of the lesson. The teacher will then introduce the concept of power as one of the seven student needs and have students take notes. Students will discuss symbols related to power and how teachers can assert or abuse their power through think-pair-share and a skit activity.

NEEDS Lesson Plan: Power


EDU 5109
Sarah Hackett

1. Objectives
Objective:​ Students will be able to explain the importance of power dynamics in the classroom.

Evidence:​ Exit Slip - Students will answer if they believe power is a need for students in the
classroom and provide 2 examples of how students can assert power in the classroom.

2. Hook - The Mentimeter is our first strategy that involves the use of technology in the
classroom. Interactive devices can be used when introducing a new concept in the
classroom by presenting it a visualized way.
● The teacher will begin the lesson by asking the students to log onto a technological
device and insert the code, provided by the teacher, for Mentimeter and answer the
prompt. For this lesson students will focus on identifying the various power dynamics
found in the classroom. For this reason, the Mentimeter prompt will ask my students to
brainstorm, and input three words that they associate with the word “Power.” The
brainstorming activity for this lesson will allow students to use terms that connect to and
help explain the concept of power.
● Students will be given 3 minutes to answer the prompt that best explains their
understanding of power. The teachers will notify students when they have 30 seconds
left.
● Check for understanding:​ the teacher will ask two students what the class is about to
engage in for the bell ringer activity (Informal).
● Once students have chosen their terms, the teacher will ask students to put their devices
aside and focus on the world cloud that highlights their most occurring responses. The
teacher will call upon a few students and ask what terms they chose and why.

3. Procedure -
● The teacher will provide students with a basic introduction on power in the classroom and
why it is one of the seven student needs. The teacher will suggest the class takes notes.
● Check for understanding:​ the teacher will ask one student why they suggest students take
notes on power in the classroom (Informal).
● The teacher will ask students to think-pair-share with the person sitting next to them on
what the symbol on the slide show presentation represents in relation to power. The
students will be given two minutes to discuss. One student will write down their
responses with their inferences on the abstract symbol and its correlation with power. The
teacher will notify the students when 30 seconds are left.
● The teacher will call upon volunteer groups to hear what they discussed. The teacher will
then lead the class into a group discussion on the symbol.
● The teacher will then refer to the PowerPoint slides, and discuss the meaning of power
and personal growth in the classroom with the students. The students will be taking notes.
● The teacher will lead to another discussion on the symbols presented on the two next
slides, in reference to the notes. The students will be taking notes.
● The teacher will ask for four volunteers who will read a perform a short skit. Two
students will be students, while the other two will act as the teacher in the skit. Once they
are done performing, the teacher will ask what the differences were in the two skits, if the
situations were handled properly, was the teacher abusing their power?

4. Closure
● Check for understanding:​ The teacher will give students a prompt to answer in response
to the lesson on power. The students will answer if, after finishing the entire lesson, if
they believe power is a need for students in the classroom, and what are two ways
students can assert power in the classroom (Formal).
