Microteach Plant Structure
Microteach #1 Lesson Plan
Name: Chelsea Niemann
Subject: Biology
Grade Level: High School Sophomore
Lesson Title: Plant Structure
Next Generation Sunshine State Standards: Benchmark SC.912.L.14.7 - Relate the structure of each of the major plant organs and tissues to physiological processes.
Rationale: Knowledge obtained in this lecture will serve as a stepping stone to aid students in future lectures, such as photosynthesis, plant cell structure, mitosis, etc. Knowledge of plant structure is useful to all people, as plants are a significant staple in our lives as our food, clothing, beverages, medicines, fuel, and other important products that we use daily come from plants. Students who enjoy this lecture may be interested in pursuing an education or career in Botany, which is a highly useful credential for many environmental government agencies. …show more content…
Students should be able to recognize correlations between different structures for plants in different stages of the life cycle (Example: hypocotyl and primary root). Students should be able to understand what functions each structure has that contribute to the survival of the plant.
ESOL Strategies: For Edith, who is at the beginning level of language development, used multiple visual aids for each structure. I will state the name of each structure while pointing to the structure, being sure to clearly enunciate, and will repeat the names of the structures as many times as possible. I have placed arrows and animations on the PowerPoint slides for things that I am not able to reach, point to, etc. A real life example that she has collected personally, and can touch and play with at her desk, will be useful as another visual
