Lesson Plan Guide: Demographic Transition Model
Lesson Plan Guide: Demographic Transition Model
Task Analysis: (C4) What lang. must be taught: Demographic Strategy to teach Language: (C4)
Transition Model Nearpod connected with discussion. Then
What skills must be taught:
use a gallery walk and Word Wall to help
Skill is to understand the vocabulary terms which allow students to
with terms.
understand and analyze the Demographics of a county.
Assessment: (C5)
Formative Assessment: With the use of word walls, students can use prior knowledge of words to relay the definition
of new introduced vocabulary.
Fun Facts – Facts about a topic that students put Fishbowl – Allow students to write one question about
in order of coolest to not so cool. the content and then allow students to pick out of a
bowl to answer as a class. This method would be done in
an inner/ outer circle placement.
1. Teacher Input / Direct Instruction / Modeling: (C6)
When introducing the topic of the day, I will explain what we are doing for the day and what we aim to have them
understand by the end of the period. I will introduce the Nearpod and have them follow on guided notes that I will
provide. I will go through each slide and explain each vocabulary term as well as asking for their perception of the
word. When we are done with the terms, I will show them around the room and write down what I believe the
word means from the lesson. I will instruct them to do the same around the room and give them ten minutes to do
so. When those ten minutes are up, we will go over words together as a class and the students will write down
their own definition on the back location of the fill in notes. Then as a class we will analyze different countries

Student Activities
on the STM. / Guided Practice: (C6)
Students will write down the fill in part of notes as well as discuss throughout the teacher lecture. When the notes
are complete, students will walk around a gallery walk to fill in on the word wall what their own definition is of that
specific term. Before they walk around the room, I will demonstrate what needs to be done first to start the gallery
walk with them and add my own definition. Then as a class, they we will go over different countries Demographic
Transition Models to see if a country is more or less developed.

DELIVERY PLAN (C8)
On the board will be the objective: By the end of this lesson, students will be able to identify the
OBJECTIVE:
different components of a Demographic Transition Model.
Rigor
I will open with a few fun facts about the population sizes of different countries and ask questions on their
thoughts on these facts. I will then transition into our topic of DTM and how we are going to learn the
OPENING: components in class by fill in notes and the gallery walk. When that is completed, we will look over
Retrieval different DTM’s from different countries. Then they will write down their own definitions and give
questions of their own to check for class understanding. I will finish by explaining how the different
components on the countries around the world will tell us how population changes overtime.
TEACHER INPUT: I as the teacher will display visual aids through the Nearpod and fill in notes for each student to allow
Relevance
them a guide to follow while I give real world facts about different countries. These will help explain the
different terms that students will need to recognize in order to understand a Demographic Transition
MODEL: model.
Routing After the lecture and the Nearpod, I will transition into the gallery walk by walking around the room and giving
my own definition of each term to model what students need to do.
GUIDED PRACTICE:
Retaining / Rehearsing
I will walk around the room and observe what students are writing and give both positive and constructive feedback.
INDEPENDENT PRACTICE:
Students will walk around for the gallery walk but will work independently to write down their own definition for each
component.
