• Learning objectives with the specific state standards to which you are aligning copied and pasted into the lesson. Standards addressed should reference your content area at least one other content area as defined in item 2. (You may refer to course 5200 or any other credible resources about learning theory.)
• Warm-Up
• Instructional Strategies: Explain how you will use high yield strategies to teach your objectives and guide the learning
• List of materials needed for the lesson
• Lesson closure / Formative Assessment. Note you must address BOTH components in order to earn full points on the rubric. Your closure activity may include a formative assessment component, but if you are combining the two, you must make this explicit in your plan.

• Write a detailed reflection on how you can use the ideas from the site to improve your teaching and build your PCK.
• Provide a list of academic vocabulary for your content area from the site or a second site.
