Lesson Plan
The evidence of student learning that will be collected includes creating a sports-themed word collage using words related to different sports. This summative assessment will be product-oriented and test learners’ ability to correctly identify and label sports-related words in the collage. For instance, the term paper will involve academic writing on at least five sports played at school and test students’ use of sports vocabulary, particularly their vocabulary learning and recall. The teacher will analyze student achievement in vocabulary mastery by their grades. Learners will show what they know or have learned by demonstrating their ability to recognize, identify, and use words related to different sports. The assessments can be modified to accommodate students with special needs including providing supports (concept cards, word banks, and extra time) and modifying content to focus on key concepts and align with students’ interest to sports vocabulary. Learners will self-assess using journals by writing regular reflections on their sports vocabulary mastery progress.
The evaluative criteria will include a holistic vocabulary rubric that assigns a single score of a student’s overall performance. The categories that will be used to assess student learning include vocabulary mastery, usage, clarity, organization, and mechanics. Both the term paper and midterm exam align with the broader goal of improving learners’ ability to recognize words related to sports. The instructor will communicate the learning goals at the start of the lesson by explaining the importance of mastering sports vocabulary.
