Lesson Plan
1. Name: Aasiya Ashraff
2. Grade Level: Low Level – high Level
3. Lesson Title: Essential Knowledge & Skills
4. Texas Essential Knowledge & Skills (TEKS) & English Language Proficiency Standards
(ELPS):
5.2 C
Vocabulary/Reading Development Students pick up new words and utilize them in
their reading and writing. Students must: create comparisons using known
antonyms and synonyms
ELPS:
(4) Acquisition and reading of a second language across the curriculum.
(F) Read grade-appropriate content-area material, enhance and confirm learning,
and build vocabulary, grasp of language structures, and prior information needed to
comprehend more demanding language using visual and contextual help, as well as peer
and teacher support.
5. Assessment of Student Learning:
a. Assessment Instruments: (please attach -This should be your independent practice -worksheet,
etc.) The independent practice worksheet, which comprises 20 phrases with synonym and antonym
comparisons, will determine the class average score.
b. Quality Standards: (How good is good enough?)
Each student will be required to have an accuracy of at least 80%.
6. Measurable Objective:
Individually, the learner will generate analogies with an accuracy of 80% using synonyms and
antonyms (16 out of 20 words correct).
7. Rationale
Analogies including synonyms and antonyms are crucial for students to acquire so that they can
grasp terminology in terms of comparison and also while reading texts that contain such analogies.
8. Strategies for Setting Up and Managing Lessons
a. Attractiveness:
Hot N Cold is a song by Katy Perry.
b. Expectations for Behavior (list): When I'm lecturing, I expect everyone to pay attention. Right now,
I'm not going to call on students. When we transition to the activity, I expect you to be calm and
respectful, and to get to know your bilingual partner as quickly as possible. The individual who starts
the action first is the youngest. I'll expect you to work on your own for the duration of your
assignment and to remain silent while others are working.

c. Cooperative Learning Structure and partner/team arrangement for Guided Practice:
The students will be with their bilingual partner. (They will already know this in advance) The person
who goes first is whoever is the youngest.
9. Introduction/Anticipatory Set
a. Hook:
Play some of Katy Perry’s Hot N Cold.
“Cause you're hot then you're cold you’re yes then you're no you’re in then you're out you’re up
then you're down you’re wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white...” These are all examples of analogies, analogies using antonyms. We also
see antonyms in books to create exaggerations or to explain how complex something is. Another
type of analogies that we see is synonym analogies such as happy: joy and fast: rapid.
b. Activate Prior Knowledge:
In our writing we tend to use words that aren’t so appealing to the reader. If someone were to ask
me how my day was, and I responded “My day was good.” Would you ask me anything else?
Now, if I were to say, “My day was amazing!” You would want to know what happened, right?
c. Student Rationale (your lesson rationale restated in student friendly terms):
Using antonym and synonym analogies helps us understand what we are reading and how we can
express our moods and to understand words.
10. Model & Explain – “I/Teacher does it” (You may use bullet points, but must write complete
sentences. Make sure your plan “flows.”)
a. Procedures or steps for teaching skill or concept:
Write on the Flip Chart what an analogy, synonym, and antonym are. Write down the word BIG.
Antonyms would be: small, tiny, puny Synonyms would be: giant, huge, humongous
Then draw out Pal: Friend::Drowsy:
The words “is to” is above Pal and “as” above Friend and “is to” above Drowsy. What would be the
word that goes to Drowsy?
What are the words Pal and Friend? Are they synonyms or antonyms? (Think in your
Head)
Okay so what might be the word that goes with Drowsy? Sleepy.
Then draw out Poor: Rich::Mean:
The words “is to” is above Poor and “as” above Rich and “is to” above Mean. Now what would be
the word that goes in the blank?
What are the words Poor and Rich? Antonyms or Synonyms? (Think in your head) Okay so what
word goes with Mean?
Friendly.
b. Check for understanding:
After teaching the first segment (synonyms) I would ask the students if they understand by giving me
a thumbs up, or if they kind of understand it to give me a side thumb.
If students aren’t understanding I will give one more example.
