(take children responses) For the next few days we are going to be working in trios to discover what makes day turn into night! <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;">3. First let’s look at our K-W-L chart on the SmartBoard. What do you already know about night and day? (record children responses, the responses that are repeated can just have a flag placed by them) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;">4. Today you will be divided into trios that you will work with throughout this unit to work together to help discover how day turns into night. (Divide children into trios and send them to their areas) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;">5. All week you will work in this trio, let’s review our working together procedures. (review TEAM chart and rules) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;">6. For this unit these are the roles and their responsibilities. (Review roles and responsibilities smartfile) You will each have a turn to do each role, so do not worry if you do not get the role you want today. Work together to decide who will be the recorder today, who will be the navigator today, and who will be the presenter today. <span style="display: block; height: 48.35pt; left: 0px; margin-left: 10.1pt; margin-top: 0.3pt; mso-position-horizontal-relative: text; mso-position-horizontal: absolute; mso-position-vertical-relative: text; mso-position-vertical: absolute; mso-wrap-distance-left: 9pt; mso-wrap-distance-right: 9pt; mso-wrap-style: square; position: absolute; text-align: left; visibility: visible; width: 46.85pt; z-index: 1;">

You all are going to pay close attention as we practice navigating through the favorites folder to the websites you are going to work with throughout this unit. (Pass out laptops, students will follow along through the demonstration.) Only the navigator will touch the laptop today, but remember you all will have a chance to do each role. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;">8. Scaffolded demonstration of how to use the folder to navigate through the websites. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;">9. Your assignment today is to work together to use the T-chart to show what you see in the day sky and what you see in the night sky. The recorder will record onto the T-chart.

Tell 3 things you see in the day sky and 3 things you see in the night sky. Is there anything you would never see in the day sky?

 * **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Ongoing Assessments: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> Teachers will be progress monitoring throughout the lesson through questioning strategies and observation. Any difficulties will be noted and if extensions are needed that will be noted as well.

** Accomodations and Extensions ****<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> For students who may struggle with the material, I will put them in a group with students who may understand the concepts easily because students learn best from one another. I will also use differentiated strategies such as repeating directions more than once, sticking close to the group with the student who needs additional support, and previewing the material with them before the actual lesson so that they are familiar with the information. I will also provide a picture sheet of things found in the day and night sky so that they can sort it for themselves onto the T-chart. For those needing an extension I will have them write an informational piece about the day and night sky. They will be able to write about the differences in the day and night sky and what is found in the sky at different points in the day.

**<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Back-up Plan: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> If things are not going as planned (i.e. grouping strategies are not working, lesson running too long, children are not understanding what to do) I will do the three R’s. I will Rewind, to see where things went wrong, Regroup quickly go over what the changes will be with the two other adults in the classroom, and Re-Do, we will start over using a different method. For small challenges I will try to do a call to attention for the entire class to quickly address the problem. If students are not getting along in their groups, I will do a call to attention and review the working together procedures. If students seem to all be getting stuck in one area, I will do a call to attention and do a quick demonstration of what to do. || <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
