This document outlines a lesson plan on cell reproduction using the Gradual Release of Responsibility instructional model. It includes a focus lesson where the teacher models the material, guided practice where the teacher works with students and asks questions, collaborative learning where students work in groups, and independent learning where students complete individual assignments. The lesson covers the stages of the cell cycle including interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis. Students view animations and complete activities like a Venn diagram comparing mitosis and meiosis.

Performance based project
1. Performance Based Project Jennifer Flaugh EDU 513: Models of Teaching Gradual Release of Responsibility Model
2. Instructional Strategies- Classroom Instruction that works, Research-Based Stretegies for Increasing Student Achievement Identifying similarities and differences. Summarizing and note taking Reinforcing effort and providing recognition Homework and practice Nonlinguistic representations Setting objectives and providing feedback Generating and testing hypotheses Questions, cues, and advance organizers
3. Gradual Release of Responsibility ModelFisher and Frey Shift in responsibility from teacher to student. This shift in responsibility can take place over a day, week, month or year.
4. Gradual Release of Responsibility Model-4 components Focus Lesson- “I do it” Guide Practice- “We do it” Collaborative learning- “You do it together” Independent learning- “You do it alone”
5. Focus Lesson Teacher acts as a model. Focus lesson should be brief, establish a purpose, and activate prior knowledge. When creating the focus lesson the teacher should ask the following questions: Are the lesson objectives clear to your students? Does the lessonconnect to prior learning? Does the lesson review important content vocabulary so students can better understand the new material?
6. All Cells Come From Pre-existing Cells Chapter 9 Concepts 1 -5 pages 180-1
7. Objectives Describe how cell reproduction contributes to repair and to growth. Contrast the two main ways that organisms reproduce. Describe the structure of a chromosome. Name the stages of the cell cycle and explain what happens during each stage.
8. Introduction Lets take a look at “The Whole Story on Skin”. http://kidshealth.org/kid/htbw/skin.html
9. The Cell Cycle Additional Notes and drawings The stages of the Cell Cyle Interphase The Mitotic Phase Mitosis Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Tellophase Cytokinesis
12. Guided Practice Teacher works with students to help them to understand the material. Questions, cues, and advance organizers should be used at this time. The guided practice will provides additional modeling. Teachers should ask themselves the following questions when creating the guided practice: Have you provided corrective feedback for the students? Did you provide modeling for students? Are multiple explanations provided for the new concepts?
14. Online Activity To gain a better understanding of mitosis go to www.pearsonsuccessnet.com. Click on Unit 3, Chapter 9 and then scroll down to “online activity 9.6, Meiosis Increases Genetic Variation Among Offspring.” To gain a better understanding of meiosis and genetic variations go to www.pearsonsuccessnet.com. Click on Unit 3, Chapter 9and then scroll down to “online activity 9.6, Meiosis Increases Genetic Variation Among Offspring.”
15. Cooperative Learning Students will work with classmates to complete an activity. Cooperative learning groups should be small in size and of mixed skill levels. Cooperative learning allows the students to look to their peers for clarification. Teacher will move from group to group to provide support and clarify any confusion.
16. Students will be divided into groups of 2-3. They will be required to draw the stages of both Mitosis and Meiosis.
17. Independent Learning Student will works alone on an assignment. Students will use class notes, activities, classroom learning to complete assignment. Student will have full responsibility for the outcome of the project. Students will have the opportunity to self-assess their work through the use of a rubric.
18. Activity 1: Search the Internet Search the Internet using the keyword "mitosis" and you will find sites with detailed descriptions of the process; some supported with good animation. Here are a few to get you started. •Animal and Plant Cell Mitosis •Cell and Developmental Biology Online: Mitosis •Cells Alive: Animal Cell Mitosis •Imaging Technology Group: Stages of Mitosis •Mitosis: Labeled Diagram •Molecular Expressions Photo Gallery: Mitosis •The Cell Cycle and Mitosis Tutorial
19. Activity 2: Modeling chromosomes Do hands-on demonstrations of the chromosome positions during mitosis using yarn, string, modeling clay or pipe cleaners. You can also do a detailed drawing for each stage of mitosis. If you would like to turn in a photo of your work or your drawing you will receive extra credit. Put your drawing or work in the digital drop box.
