Tool for Analyzing and Adapting Curriculum Materia.docxVannaJoy20
Tool for Analyzing and Adapting Curriculum Materials
Overview: This tool is designed to help you prepare to use curriculum materials, particularly individual lessons that are part of larger units, with students. It supports you to do three things:
1. Identify the academic focus of the materials;
2. Analyze the materials for demand, coherence, and cultural relevance;
3. Consider student thinking in relation to the core content and activities;
4. Adapt the materials and create a more complete plan to use in the classroom.
Section 1: Identify the academic focus of the materials
Read the materials in their entirety. If you are working with a single lesson that is part of a larger unit, read or skim the entire unit, and then read the lesson closely. Annotate the materials:
1. What are the primary and secondary learning goals?
· What are the 1-2 most important concepts or practices that students are supposed to learn?
· What are students responsible for demonstrating that they know and can do in mid-unit and final assessments and performance tasks?
2. What are the core tasks and activities:
· What needs to be mastered or completed before the next lesson?
· Where is the teacher’s delivery of new information, guidance, or support most important?
· Where is discussion or opportunities for collaboration with others important?
· Are there activities or tasks that could be moved to homework if necessary?
Section 2: Analyze the materials for demand, coherence, and cultural relevance:
Use the checklist in the chart below to analyze the materials. If you mark “no,” make notes about possible adaptations to the materials. You may annotate the materials directly as an alternative to completing the chart.
Consideration
Yes or no?
Notes about possible adaptations
1.
Analyze for grade-level appropriateness and intellectual demand:
1a. Do the learning goals and instructional activities align with relevant local, state, or national standards?
1b. Are the materials sufficiently challenging for one’s own students (taking into account the learning goals, the primary instructional activities, and the major assignments and assessments)? Do they press and support students to do the difficult academic work?
2.
Analyze for instructional and academic coherence (if analyzing a unit):
2a. Do the individual lessons in a unit build coherently toward clear, overarching learning goals, keyed to appropriate standards? Name the set of learning goals.
2b. Is progress against those goals measured in a well-designed assessment?
2c. Does each lesson build on the previous one?
2d. Are there opportunities for teachers to reinforce or draw upon previously learned information and skills in subsequent lessons?
3.
Analyze for cultural relevance/orientation to social justice:
3a. Are the materials likely to engage the backgrounds, interests, and strengths of one’s own s.
EEL What Is EEIJust like our students, each teacher is differe.docxSALU18
EEL: What Is EEI?
Just like our students, each teacher is different in strengths and struggles. Finding a lesson plan template that works in all areas can take some time, but once you identify one that helps you plan your day, you'll likely stick with it. The EEI, or Essential Elements of Instruction Model, may just be that tool.
The EEI model focuses on components of teaching which are essential for every lesson. Based on the Madeline Hunter model, the EEI criteria are:
Title - You write the name your lesson here for easy identification along with any other pertinent information.
Materials - This section allows an area to list all necessary supplies that will be used in the lesson, including those for both you and your students.
Curriculum Standards - This is where you will write any standards used for the lesson.
Anticipatory Set - Often called the 'hook', this stage is meant to get students interested in the lesson, connect to prior knowledge, and set the stage for learning.
Objective - In this section, you will list performance and learning objectives your students will achieve. Be sure to use verbs from Bloom's taxonomy or other source. The terms must be measurable and shared with students.
Purpose - This states the reason for the lesson.
Instructional input - Here you will note the activities and methods you will use to teach, including direct instruction, etc.
Modeling - You will demonstrate the skill in this part of the lesson.
Check for Understanding - This focuses on methods you will use to determine if your students are catching on. You will use these strategies throughout the lesson.
Guided Practice - This marks the active learning time completed by your students with your support.
Closure - At the end of lesson, you summarize and share learning while connecting the lesson to future learning.
Extended/Independent Practice - To increase student understanding, here you will list methods of learning students will complete after the lesson, such as homework or projects.

National/State Learning Standards:
Review national and state standards to become familiar with the standards you will be working with in the classroom environment.
Your goal in this section is to identify the standards that are the focus of the lesson being presented. Standards must address learning initiatives from one or more content areas, as well as align with the lesson’s learning targets/objectives and assessments.
Include the standards with the performance indicators and the standard language in its entirety.
Specific Learning Target(s)/Objectives:
Learning objectives are designed to identify what the teacher intends to measure in learning. These must be aligned with the standards. When creating objectives, a learner must consider the following:
· Who is the audience
· What action verb will be measured during instruction/assessment
· What tools or conditions are being used to meet the learning
What is being assessed in the lesson must align directly to the objective created. This should not be a summary of the lesson, but a measurable statement demonstrating what the student will be assessed on at the completion of the lesson. For instance, “understand” is not measureable, but “describe” and “identify” are.
For example:
Given an unlabeled map outlining the 50 states, students will accurately label all state names.
Academic Language
In this section, include a bulleted list of the general academic vocabulary and content-specific vocabulary you need to teach. In a few sentences, describe how you will teach students those terms in the lesson.

Hello!I will be focusing on the alignment of your instruction an.docxsalmonpybus
Hello!
I will be focusing on the alignment of your instruction and assessment to the state standards and also looking at the rigor you have built into your lesson. Please read the information below about the different parts of a lesson to help you when writing your own lesson plan.
Focus Activity: The Focus Activity typically a 5-10 min activity, discussion, review, video, etc. that serves to focus student attention on the topic of your lesson. It may also include an Anticipatory Set used to “hook” students or create interest in the topic.
Objective Statement: This statement is written using the verbiage you will use with the students.
It should relate to the targeted standard and include a performance behavior to ensure it is measurable. What will you ask students to do or produce to prove they are learning?
Purpose for Learning: Be sure to explain why it is important for students to learn what you are teaching them. I will be looking for you to include real-world application for the skill or content you are teaching about.
Instructional Steps: While my focus is not entirely on the instructional strategies you use, I will be looking at these as a means to assess the rigor of your lesson. Please be
VERY DETAILED in the Instructional Steps section. The idea behind this section is that another teacher would be able to pick up your lesson plan and implement it relatively seamlessly. Include the following in your Instructional Steps:
· Focus Activity and how you will tie it to your standard(s) &/or prior knowledge.
· Direct Instruction/Input – how will you present content? What questions will you ask or how will you guide/scaffold discussion to ensure the standards are being addressed? Remember that the goal is to utilize the Gradual Release Model, i.e. moving from “I do” to “We do” to “You do”. Include your modeling strategy and how you will provide both guided and independent practice for your students as they work towards mastery of the objective. Start with simple questioning during initial instructional input and modeling and lead to more complex critical thinking questions. Questions and activities should always consider and support varying levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy. During Independent Practice, students should be working at higher Bloom’s levels and using higher order/critical thinking. To obtain the highest marks, questions and activities should be at the creative, evaluative and/or analysis levels that focus on the objective of the lesson and provoke thought and discussion. Again, be very detailed and include the exact questions you will ask, clarifications you will make to avoid common misconceptions and discussion topics you will introduce.
Questions for Understanding: This is where you will list some examples of the questions you will ask. Remember to include questions at the various levels of Bloom’s. I will be looking for the integration of .

Mini-Lesson Planning for Sequencing
Benchmark(s)/Standard(s):
LA.910.1.7.5 – analyze a variety of text structures (e.g., comparison/contrast, cause/effect,
chronological order; argument/support, lists) and text features (main headings with
subheadings) and explain their impact on meaning in text;
LA.1112.1.7.5 – analyze a variety of text structures (e.g., comparison/contrast, cause/effect,
chronological order; argument/support, lists) and text features (main headings with
subheadings) and explain their impact on meaning in text;
Definition:
Chronological order or sequence is when authors write about things in the order in which
they happened. The author may use signal words (such as first, last, finally, etc.) to help
readers understand the sequence of events. Sometimes the sequence may need to be
determined from details in the text.
Essential Question(s):
• How do I determine the chronological order or sequence of events in text?
• How can using outlines, graphic organizers, diagrams, logical notes, or summaries help
me understand the sequence of events in informational and fictional texts?
FCAT Stem Questions
• What happened just BEFORE ___________________________?
• What happened just AFTER _____________________________?
• What happened FIRST, LAST, etc… ______________________?
• What happened between ________________ and ___________?
• What is the FIRST STEP in _____________________________?
• Retell the events leading up to ___________________________.
• Retell the events following _______________________________.

Mini-Lesson Delivery for Sequencing
Lesson Agenda: How will I deliver this lesson to help my students answer the essential
question(s)?
FCIM Mini-Lesson Sequence
Day One: Explicit Instruction (10 min)
Day Two: Modeled Instruction (15 min)
Day Three: Guided Practice (15 min)
Day Four: Independent Practice (10 min)
Day Five: Mini-Assessment (10 min) & Review Student Responses
Special Note: These FCIM Mini-lessons should be delivered for 10-15 minutes at the
beginning of the class for December. This District’s monthly focus skill does not align
with the curriculum map timelines for reading. Please understand that it is the District’s
expectation that every teacher adhere to the monthly focus skill calendar in addition to
following your content’s curriculum map timelines.

3. Day 1-- Explicit Instruction: How will I focus my students on what they need to learn? Which
important vocabulary will I introduce/review?
Signal Words
Add the following signal words to interactive word wall: first, second, third, etc.; next,
last, later, before, after, then, now, finally, prior to, at the beginning, shortly thereafter,
subsequently, at the same time, following that, soon, at (in) the end; the first/next/last
thing; during, when, simultaneously, soon, while, afterwards, respectively
Explain that sequence is an important skill that we must learn to be good readers.
Examples:
Chronological order Part to Whole
Developmental Simple to Complex
Stages of Progression Recipes
Easy to Difficult Thematic
Part to Whole
Whole to Part
List attributes on the chart in the three areas indicated.
Model with students as you write AND do Think Alouds throughout the lesson.
Beginning Middle End
Suggested Activity: Sending a Text Message
This is a suggested activity. Students should write down the steps on “how to send a text
message” beginning with the purchase of their phone.
Activating Strategy: Partner Share
This is a fast-paced activity in which the teacher will direct students. Once their steps are
completed they will then share with their partner. Discuss the important information that was
perhaps left out, and why the recognition of sequence is vital. Briefly discuss other times and
places in our lives we should recognize sequence.
The teacher should call on a few partners to have them briefly share their information.
3
4. Day 2-- Modeled Instruction: How will I show my students what they are expected to do to
answer the essential question(s)?
Read Aloud– (Familiar text)
1. Use a familiar trade book.
2. Student input.
3. Next, conduct a think-aloud.
Day 3-- Guided Practice: How will I help my students practice answering the essential
question(s)? (How will I incorporate Teacher-Led Question and Answer, Student Accountable
Talk, Collaborative Structures, and Checks for Understanding?
Practice 1:
Ask question: How can you relate sequence to people you know? What kinds of
characteristics can you use to identify sequence?
Make a second list of how your classmates could be placed in sequence. (They could place
them in order by birth year, birth month, birth date, height, etc.)
Practice 2:
Pair up the students, giving each pair a blank Flow Chart Map. Have them write on the diagram
their goals for this year in sequence.
Additional strategies/activities:
• Repeat the above exercise using a Flow Chart Map.
• Do a Word Splash vocabulary activity using the sequence signal words.
• A/B partner Review: Pairs Review—Partner A: talks for one minute about everything
he/she has learned about sequence. After one minute, Partner B: talks for one minute,
trying to follow the rule of no repeats.
• With a partner, complete a Sequence Flow Chart Map graphic organizer (What is it?
What is it like? What are some examples?)
• Display several cartoon picture frames for students (or use examples from math, science
or social studies). Have pairs use the flow chart graphic organizer to place the pictures in
their correct sequence.
• Prepare a Flow Chart Map for the sequence to these stories (application to text!).
Ex: Versions of the “The Three Little Pigs” or other familiar text (again, use content area
texts as well). Students complete a graphic organizer giving the sequence of events for the
story. Students should be able to answer the following questions: What changes to the
story could occur if it were to be written out of sequence? What happens to our perspective
when things are told out of sequence? Can you think of a time when you were told of
4
5. something out of sequence and it had a negative impact on the outcome?
Special Note: It is important that students are able to link the skill of sequence to text.
Day 4-- Independent Practice: How will my students practice answering the essential
question(s) individually?
“Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwich Test”
Have the students write down the steps to preparing and eating a peanut butter and jelly
sandwich. These steps should be numbered in sequence. They will then exchange papers
with their partner. The teacher will then lay out bread slices, peanut butter cups, jelly cups,
plastic knives and paper towels for students to choose their needed items. Upon return to their
desk partner #1 will read the directions as written to partner #2 to perform the task of preparing
a PBJ sandwich. If steps are not in place properly then the sandwich will be unavailable for
them to eat. Repeat the procedure with partner #2 reading while partner #1 prepares the
sandwich. Discuss the outcome with your partner.
• Repeat the above exercise using a Flow Chart/Timeline.
• Give students two pieces of short text to read OR provide students with a brief list of
selections with which they are familiar and have them write the sequence using one of
the graphic organizers.
• Do a Word Splash vocabulary activity using the sequence signal words. Display the
signal words for SEQUENCE. Individual students compose a scenario or create their
own examples of utilizing sequence, incorporating the signal words.
• Independently, complete a Sequence Word Map graphic organizer (What is it? What is
it like? What are some examples?
• Display several pictures for student (or use examples from math, science or social
studies). Have individuals use one of the graphic organizers to sequence these pictures.
• Sequence two familiar stories (application to text!). Ex: Versions of the “The 3 Little Pigs”
or other another familiar text (again, you may use content area texts as well). The
student independently completes a graphic organizer (Flow Chart or Chronological
Timeline). Students should be able to answer the following questions: Why is
understanding the sequence to these stories relevant? If you were a CSI Agent or in a
court of law how important would the sequence to this familiar storyline be for you to
defend?
Special Note: It is important that students are able to link the skill of Sequence to text.
Day 5-- Assessment: How will I know if my students can answer the essential question(s)?
Extended and Refining Activity: Connection to Writing
Using the graphic organizer created on either Day Three or Day Four to summarize their
learning, students will use the content to write, why it is important to know or realize the
sequence or the chronological order of an event or story. Students should be prompted to
include signal words for sequence in their writing.
Ticket Out the Door: List three careers where sequence is of the utmost importance. Justify
your choices.
