Lesson Plan-persisting On Task

Lesson: Persisting on Task Objective: SWBAT identify a classroom goal, create a plan, and demonstrate persistence while working towards the goal. Vocabulary Goal – something you are trying to do Execute – to carry out a plan Persisting- make a new plan and never give up Accomplish – to complete a goal Introduction The unit theme, we are learning about is imagination! Today we get to imagine ourselves as problem solvers that develop new ideas when experiencing obstacles. We will have a class goal. Before, we become problem solvers we need to state the goal, develop a plan, and execute the plan. Oh no, problem solvers our first plan might not work! I have an idea, we can persist which means to keep on trying and never. Everyone say “persisting!” Persisting! Repeat after me, keep on trying and never give up. I am excited for us to work on our goal. Guided Practice Now it is time for us to practice together. Ms. Vasquez wants to learn how to tie her shoelaces. I know that the first step is to understand our goal, next develop a plan, and finally execute the plan. What does Ms. Vasquez want to learn? She wants to learn how to tie her shoelaces. You just helped me identify the goal. Ms. Vasquez is thinking; how will I learn to time my shoelaces? Perhaps, I can watch a video that explains the steps on how to tie shoelaces. After, watching the video I will execute the steps for tying shoelaces. Now, I am ready to watch the video and practice tying my shoelaces. Oh no, I still can’t time my shoes. I remember learning a new word today persisting. Persisting means to keep on trying and never give up. Should Ms. Vasquez give up on learning to tie her shoelaces? What strategy should Ms. Vasquez try next? Persisting on Task Identify the goal
