Third Grade Lesson Plans

Paper Summary:

This paper describes the objectives, assignments, materials and handouts of five different lesson plans designed for the third grade level. The lesson plans focus on language skills and include a lesson plan for ESL students.

From the Paper:

"The goals of this lesson are to give a student-centered approach that focuses on the language skill of speaking and using grammar on the level of verbal interchange and conversation. The third grade student will therefore be able to practice verbal literacy in a structured environment around a lesson plan that concentrates on the free exchange of ideas between individuals. The content topic incorporated into the lesson is one of speaking rather than listening because routine oral skills are the focus of the lesson in terms of practice and maintenance. Additional goals include the need to, "Determine student "level" and "needs"(e.g.,Ferris & Tagg (1996) found the most important
academic language need was authentic practice in classroom participation). Determine related functional uses of language (e.g., identify specific purposes such as planning business meetings, and their related speech acts such as greetings, apologies)" (Lazarton, 2001). This can be done with groups of students or by the teacher in any classroom situation including tutoring or one on one lessons. The lesson generally has objectives or goals of increasing fluency and proficiency in English language verbal skills through structured conversation. In this way, the student will learn the language as something that is living and useful to them, rather than abstract or the subject of endless repetition
by the teacher."
