Lesson Plan Content (Written narrative paragraph about the lesson content.)

During this lesson, students are split into groups of 6. Each student is given 6 pieces of a ¼
sheet of paper. There are 6 rounds of rotating, drawings and descriptive writings. Students are
not allowed to talk or discuss what they have written or drawn as they pass or do the lesson.
Students will draw a picture for 3 minutes with details. Then the stack of papers will be passed
clockwise. Now the students have a picture that their neighbor drew and on the next sheet of
paper, they are to write a detailed description of what they see. They have 3 minutes to
describe what they see. Then once the time is up the stack of paper rotates clockwise again.
Now in front, they have their neighbor’s description. They are to interpret the writing into a
new drawing without looking at the original drawing. This will repeat until the stack of papers
returns to the original person. Then as a group, they have about 8-10 minutes to talk with one
another about what they all wrote and drew. Then as a class, we will reflect on how this
lesson relates to a leadership classroom and the real world. We will also discuss what was
hard, easy, and what we can do better or avoid in the future.

Instructional Procedures

• Focusing Event (Describe how you will get students to focus attention on your teaching.)

I will use what the teacher has in place, in which is counting down from 5 to 1.

• Instructional Strategies (Describe all instructional methods you will employ during the lesson.)

During the lesson I will mainly use interactive instruction as the students work with
their peers and use problem solving in the lesson. I will also use experimental and
indirect instruction, as the lesson is like a game and then will end in a reflective
discussion.

• Student Participation (How will you engage students and get them on board to participate?)

I will allow the students to collaborate with their group members before sharing the
answers which will help boost students esteem and confidence when sharing their
answer to the whole class. This will create an environment where students feel safe to
share their ideas.
 • Formative Check (How will you check that all students are involved and engaged in the lesson?

To make sure the students are engaging I will walk around the classroom to check
their papers to make sure they are participating.

• Closure (How will you end the lesson purposefully, with intentionality?)

At the end of the lesson, I plan to ask the student reflective questions. This would
inform me if the students understood the point of the Leadership communication.

• Assessment (How will you assess that students achieved the lesson goals or learning targets?)

I will assess the students to see if they achieved their goals by listing to their reflective
answers as well as observing their work and participation of the group game.
