4. Presenting Instructional
Content:
Using the HO of the TAP that you have, look
under the category of 3. Starting at the
descriptor of “support the lesson objectives”,
highlight key words.
Paraphrase each descriptor on the note
sheet.

Descriptor for Presenting Instructional Content
1 Visuals that establish:
a) the purpose of the lesson,
b) preview of the organization of the lesson
c) include internal summaries of the lesson
2 Examples, illustrations, analogies, and labels for new
concepts
and ideas.
3 Modeling by the teacher to demonstrate his or her
performance expectations.
4 Concise communication
5 Logical sequencing and segmenting all essential
information
6 No irrelevant, confusing or non-essential information
6. YOUR TURN: Prioritize
There are 6 bullets and 3 sub-bullets listed
under Presenting Instructional Content.

8. Modeling
Why is it important for the teacher to model
his/her expectations for students?
How do you plan for effective modeling during
a lesson?
How do students clearly know your
expectations for their assignments and for
what they are to learn?
9. SOME CRITICAL ATTRIBUTES
OF MODELING:
1. Break tasks to be learned into clearly defined
steps or processes that are visually organized
or ordered.
2. Make the steps easy to understand and easy
to see.
3. Align steps to actions and visuals.

10. INFORMAL ASSESSMENT: Find the example
that probably includes effective modeling and why
1. Teacher passes out worksheet and goes
over the first problem.
2. Teacher teaches the ‘3 steps’ needed to
solve problems while she solves the
problem.
3. Teacher solves a problem on the overhead
then asks students to solve the next
problem.

12. Visuals
Visuals are anything seen by students as content:
on the board
on the walls
on the overhead
on the document camera
in a book
what you gesture
what you demonstrate

13. Regarding Instruction…..
Telling when used alone, results in 70% recall
three hours later and 10% recall three days
later.
Showing when used alone, results in 72%
recall three hours later, and 20% recall three
days later.
A blend of telling and showing results in 85%
recall three hours later and 65% recall three
days later.
14. Modeling for your A and E
lesson:
TEK from Guided Reading lesson:
(B) identify important facts or details in text,
heard or read;
(C) determine what words mean from how
they are used in a sentence, either heard or
read
Objective from Guided Reading lesson:
The student will read, understand and show
evidence of strategies to solve words on a
level K.
15. Modeling
Big 5/Vocabulary lesson:
Semantic Web of lions (what they look like, where
they live, other)
Lives: Looks
like:
Other interesting
facts:
Lions
16. Modeling
Writing:
Write one fact that you learned about
lions/tigers using one of the words from the
index or from the web. .
17. Why are we doing this A and E
assignment?
“Learning deepens when students (and
teachers!) engage in reading, talking and writing
across many different instructional contexts.”
Fountas and Pinnell, 2007
For more information about the A
and E assignment, please reference
the attachments.
