Procedures:

 

1.     The lesson will begin with an icebreaker (I will hold up a shape and ask the students to identify it)

2.     I will introduce the lesson topic

3.     I will hand each student paper cut outs of each shape

4.     As a class we will go through and name each shape

5.     I will call out the shapes to the students and have them hold up the cut out that goes with it

6.     We will practice drawing the shapes as a class

7.     Students will be called on randomly to come up and draw a certain shape

8.     We will look around the classroom and at some pictures to see if we can see some of the shapes in use and how

9.     I will do a summary of what we have just gone over and allow for any questions

 

 

Differentiation:

            Try to make sure that the lesson gets and keeps the attention of the class
