After you have created a lesson plan, it is important to go back and reflect on all the component's of your plan.  Use the following to help prompt your reflection:

1. Standards: Can you see evidence of the knows and dos from your lesson standard throughout your lesson? Evidence?
   
   

2. Learning Targets: The Knows and Dos of your learning targets should be evident through the assessment and learning activities of your lesson.  Are they?
   
   

3. Lesson Essential Question: Was your lesson EQ created from your learning goals or learning targets? Is it at least "middle level" thinking? Can your students google the answer?
   
   

4. Lesson Assessment or Assignment: Does your assignment address all the knows and dos of your learning targets? Did you incorporate writing into the assignment? Do students need to use their graphic organizer(s) from the lesson to help them with the assignment? 

5. Lesson Activities: Did at least one of my learning activities cross the "Rigor Divide"? Is my student's thinking visible as they are learning? Evidence? Did I embed summarizing strategies throughout my learning activities? 

6. Graphic Organizer: Does the graphic organizer I selected/created help my students build-notes and frame their thinking across the entire lesson? Can my students use the graphic organizer to help them with their lesson assessment/assignment? 

7. Formative Data Collection: Can I use the data I am collecting on student learning during and after the lesson to determine if my students have mastered the learning targets? Can answer the EQ?

8. Enhancements: Did I explicitly plan to teach vocabulary in this lesson? Did I explicitly plan to help my students "speak" the language of this lesson fluently? Did I activate schema (prior knowledge) for my students at the beginning of this this lesson?
