MSMC Cooperative Learning Lesson Plan

Since some members were absent last class when we did SIM leaning within the groups the cooperative Learning lesson plan group had to teach their lesson to the entire group instead of back to their base groups. Direct instruction focuses on the content of the lesson being taught. Inquiry focusses on students' thinking and processes and reasoning skills. Cooperative learning focuses on social skills. Cooperative learning is an organized and structured way to use small groups to enhance student learning and interdependence. Students are given a task, and they work together to accomplish this task. Objectives. Within the direct instruction it should be one sentence with CBC elements (condition behavior, criteria). The formula is Given (a task or materials) the student will (a verb from Blooms Taxonomy) with (an excepted level of performance. In cooperative Learning it is written the same way as direct instruction. One academic objective, what students will know by the end of the lesson. One social skills objective, group processes the students will know how to use by the end of the lesson. The introduction part of the lesson is a review of and assessment of the prior knowledge, if needed (Not of the current goal). The ways you will pre-assess prior knowledge and social interaction and social skills. A way of bringing to the new topic and to the new social process. Development part of the lesson within the direct instruction its the "i do" and explanation, demonstration, and modeling. In cooperative learning it was social interactive model, and indirect/interactive strategy will be used, put the students into group, explain the SIM and grouping, explain PIGS. They then also gave us a pintrest page with all ideas!
