LESSON PLAN # 1:

Differentiated Lesson plan: Learning Styles

Lesson Title: Describing Your Personality

Grade Level/Subject: 11^th & 12^th/ Marketing 2

Materials: Personality test

Length of Lessons: 68 minutes

Unit Goals:

To understand the different characteristics that make up your (student) individual personality

Lesson Objectives:

The student will be able to demonstrate their understanding of their own personality by taking and scoring a personality test, making a list of personality traits, discussing your personality with others, determining the positive characteristics, and presenting your findings to the class.

Differentiation/Rationale (1 paragraph):

The student will be involved in activities based on their learning style. This is built on the student’s knowledge that not all groups are successful. The student will learn about their personality and learn of other personalities when other students share with class.

Pre-assessment/Lesson Assessment:

The pre-assessment will be the unit pre-assessment test. This provides me with general idea of student’s knowledge but also gets students thinking about the subject we are about to cover.

The next day anticipatory set as well group presentations for content.

Anticipatory Set:

Show I-movie videos that recap successful group projects. I will ask the rhetorical question: “ Why do groups succeed/fail”.

Whole Class Instruction:

-Take synergy personality test

-Score own test

-Define results

-Divide into personality groups by personality type (different tasks for each group)

-Groups will create list of words, which define their personality

Actual Differentiation:

ST- Individually list personalities in order of importance. As a group determine strengths/weaknesses of ST personality and create a written report.

SF- Create a skit which describes strengths of your groups personality. Present a skit to the class.

NT- Set goals individually and apply your personality that will help you attain those goals. As a group, give 3 real life examples to the class that refutes the statement “Challenging experts is wasted time”.

NF- Draw a picture describing your personality strength. As a group, pick 3 pictures and describe the pictures/overheads to class.

Closure:

Groups will report findings to class. Reports will be differentiated by learning style. Students individually will record 1 thing they learned from the 3 other personality groups.
