Lesson Plan Worksheet #1

KUDOs

Writing KUDOs helps us translate standards into language students and parents can understand. KUDOs are a way to write learning goals for each standard that specify the following:

· What do I want my students to
Know?

· What facts, vocabulary, dates, rules, people, places do you want students to know at the end of this lesson?

·
Knows are usually a list of things we want students to recall or memorize.

·
Knows can easily be translated into lower level learning targets/lesson objectives.

· What do I want my students to
Understand?

· What concepts, principles, and generalizations do you want your students to understand?

·
Understandings are generally written as sentences and describe the concept or principle we want students to understand.

·
Understandings are the “big ideas” of the unit or lesson and guide what activities we choose for students to engage in during our lesson as well as our lesson targets.

· What do I want my students to be able to
Do?

· What will my students be able to do independently by the end of the lesson?

· Do’s are skills and processes.

· Do’s are written as statements beginning with a verb usually from Bloom’s Taxonomy or Webb’s Depth of Knowledge.

· Do’s can easily be translated into learning targets/ lesson objectives.
