| CCSS Code e.g. RL.K.5 | OUTCOMES (Lesson Focus) What will the students know or be able to do at the end of the lesson? | ASSESSMENT How will the students demonstrate that they have accomplished the desired outcome? Please state the question that will be asked during your formative assessment. | STRATEGIES In what activities will the students be engaged to accomplish the desired outcome? Please list in the order that you will implement. | 3 HOTS QUESTIONS e.g. one should be on knowledge, one on application, and one on synthesis or evaluation. |
