Today's Goals:

 * I can write lesson objectives that follow DAMMP criteria.
 * I can describe characteristics of effective direct instruction and incorporate them to improve a lecture.
 * I can describe the components of a lesson plan.

10:00 - 10:05 - Welcome & Agenda
 * Notetaker

__Part 1__ 10:05 - 10:45 - Objective writing practice
 * Find a standard
 * Determine a learning goal that aligns
 * Write a DAMMP objective for one class period

a. Imagine that you are teaching your Garry students. Select a learning standard that applies to your content area from the compilation of standards documents here:
http://gonzagateach.wikispaces.com/221-512+Course+Resources

Copy the standard onto the worksheet.
**b. Once you have selected a standard, consider the component parts. What skills, knowledge, understandings are embedded in this standard? (Another way to think about this is "What are the learning steps to achieving this standard?") Imagine that you are teaching one class period. Based on an element of the standard, write a learning objective/target that could frame this class period.**

**Write the objective on the worksheet.**

**c. Evaluate the standard against the DAMMP criteria. (Descriptive, Achievable, Memorable, Measurable, Purposeful). Make any revisions**

**d. Repeat a-c for a different standard.**

__Part 2__ 10:45 - 11:30 - Features of effective direct instruction
 * Planning considerations - [[file:Direct Instruction Activity Template 2.docx]]
 * What's missing from this lecture? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3EKm5Noam4

a. Download the direct instruction activity template. Review it and think about how these components connect to what you learned through the direct instruction P.E.T.
=== b. Pretend that you were asked to give this professor (on the youtube video) professional advice on ways to make her lecture more effective and engaging. Watch the lecture and envision specific ways it could be improved if it were being given to a live group of students. Complete the direct instruction template for this mini-lecture to show your recommendations. Write your ideas in the template embedded in the worksheet. ===

__Part 3__ 11:30 - 12:00 - Garry planning template
 * [[file:Garry_LessonTemplate-table.docx]]

=== a. Download the Garry planning template. This is the form you will use to plan your lessons. (You will be teaching in two weeks!) Read each of the categories and try to imagine what that would look like in a lesson you've seen. ===

**Upload your worksheet to Blackboard by Saturday at midnight.**
Housekeeping:
 * Self-study worksheet due 2/11 - upload to BB
