1. Tuesday – Hearing
This is the first day of a five day lesson plan about the five senses. This lesson is geared towards the
sense of sight. This is for a 2nd grade class of 12 girls and 13 boys. The class consists of 5 African
American, 1 Chinese, 3 Hispanic and 16 Caucasian. Of these 25 students there are 4 who suffer an
Attention Deficient Disorder. 20 of the students are on or above the 2nd grade reading level, while 5 are
below. The students are typically well behaved and interested in learning.
The students already have a clear understanding of how to use Web Quests, computers and typing
software, how to work in a group setting, researching on the internet, and copy write laws.
89% of the class is visual, hands on learners, while the remaining 11% are better with reading
instructions. They love working in a group setting and giving presentations. Some of them are poor test
takers but overall do well in the classroom setting. They do not prefer textbooks but would rather
participate in class discussions, visual learning tools, reading aloud, updated/live material, and
researching from the internet.
The class will have a 100% better understanding of sense of hearing by the end of the day.
Assignments:
We will begin by everyone being quiet and recognizing all of the sounds. After that we will open a
window and then discuss what sounds you heard from outside as well.
As a group, the class will participate in this interactive SmartBoard Activity.

Each of the students will have the opportunity to participate in the SmartBoard activity. The In the
Middle game is for everybody and everyone will get the chance to play. The video will be played at the
front of the class for everyone to watch. After watching the video the class will do the diagram of the ear
where there will be a poster placed that the front of the class. Finally each student will take the hearing

2. test at one of the 5 computers located in the classroom. They will rotate who goes next. All students are
required to keep quiet and pay attention during all activities. Every student is required to participate in
all of the assignments and activities.
At the end of the day I will ask the students to write a paragraph in their daily journals telling what they
enjoyed most and disliked most about the day. This will give me a better understanding of how to make
the lesson more enjoyable for next time.
