Warmup-Engage
Slide 2 Review schedule for the day Review session objectives Check attendance Slide 3 6Ps/TETE content – Plan, Teach, Reflect, Adjust Slide 4 Yesterday, you wrote an objective and designed one activity that lets students show they met the lesson objective (criteria 1 & 2 of the Plan, Teach, Reflect, and Adjust section of the CoP Observation Rubric). You also began to write a lesson plan that includes a warm-up, practice activities, and wrap up (Criteria 3 & 4). This morning, you will continue your work on the lesson plan and give effective feedback. Then, you will practice a pre-observation conversation about your lesson plan.		5 min
Warm Up
Slide 5 Activity 1 -- Energizer Let’s do a quick movement energizer before we start working on the lesson plans. Just something to give our bodies and minds a boost. The energizer is RPM choice. Here are some suggestions: Pass the Ball – https://games4esl.com/esl-classroom-games/pass-the-ball/ Musical Chairs TPR activity Simon Says ***Remind mentees know that they can use any language for the next activity. It is very important that they are able to express their “gots” and “needs” for writing lesson objectives.		5
Slide 6 Activity 2: Return to the Gots & Needs Exit Ticket Yesterday, you created sticky notes about “Gots & Needs” regarding lesson planning. Get the sticky notes out. Would someone like to read a “Got”? Give a “thumbs up if you got this concept? [Go through the list of “Gots”] Now, let’s do the same with the “needs” Give a “thumbs up if this is a need for you? [RPM keeps track of the “needs” so that they can be addressed in small groups and writes them on the board.] OPTION 1: If you gave a thumbs down for any of the “needs”, what questions do you have? Let’s see if we can answer questions as a group. OPTION 2: Return to lesson planning groups and have a discussion about the “needs”. (5 min) Whole group report out (5 min)	Gots & Needs Exit Ticket – yesterday	15 min
Application
Slide 7 – Lesson Plan, completion Activity 3: Writing a Lesson Plan, Part 2 Ask Mentees to get into the same groups of 3 as yesterday to continue writing their lesson plan. Review was written yesterday. Revise based on the Gots & Needs Discussion. Mentees will complete the lesson plan using their textbook lesson and lesson plan template. Remind Mentees NOT to make any materials until their lesson plan is full developed. Slide 8 Activity 4: Lesson Plan Gallery Walk Mentees hang their lesson plans on the wall. Elicit questions Mentees can use to give feedback on the lesson plans. For example: Is the warm-up engaging? Why or why not? Is the target language presented well? Why or why not? Does the lesson plan give students an opportunity to practice the language before using it more freely? Are the directions clear? Give each Mentee some sticky notes. Mentees walk around and read the lesson plans. They use the sticky notes to give feedback and post them beside the lesson plan. Mentees use the Observation Rubric to for ideas to write on the sticky notes After the gallery walk, Mentees get their lesson plans and feedback. Mentees read the feedback and make changes to their lesson plans.	Handout: Observation Rubric	10-15 min 10 20-30 min
Lesson Plan Reflection
Slide 9 Activity 5: Reflection on Lesson Planning It is important to self-reflect on what you have designed. Use the CoP Observation Rubric to self-reflect on the lesson plan you designed today. How would you rate your plan? How could you improve it?	Handout: Observation Rubric (Activity 4)	10 min

DEBRIEF/WRAP UP

Warm Up – Peer Observation/PQP/Pre-Observation Conversation
Slide 12 Here is a good idiom. We are switching gears. We are changing topics. Let’s do a KWL chart on the board. What do you know about providing feedback before, during, and after a lesson? What do you want to know? Then, we will go back to see what you’ve learned before lunch.	KWL Chart on board	5 min
