__**Assessment**__
Students will take notes during class using an online note sharing tool. While taking notes, they will answer questions periodically. I can then go through the notes and check for understanding on the questions. Also while presenting the material, a simple thumbs up or thumbs down can be given to determine to an extent the students understanding of the material up to that point.
 * Formative (Assessment for Learning)**

Being the first lesson, a few things are being assessed. First their note taking will be assessed. The notes will be taken using an online note sharing tool. This allows students who were absent to find notes easily, and ensures that notes are not so easily lost, or if they are, they are more easily recovered. Using the online note taking method, students will also be exposed to more technology in the classroom, preparing them for more to come later. Their final product on this first lesson will simply be their finished notes, along with a series of questions asked at the end of the lesson. It will essentially be a quiz taken on the note taking tool.
 * Summative (Assessment of Learning)**

__**Integration**__
Technology: students will utilize type II technology using the online note taking tool. English: Note taking skills will be assessed on the note taking tool.

__Groupings__
Group brainstorming activity. They'll be in groups discussing what they have learned about microeconomics. They will talk amongst each other and see if there is anything they dont know or fully understand, and see if they can help each other out. Discussions will take place in table groups, and the students can choose their own leader based on whoever feels the most comfortable with the material at that point. The group discussion wont last long, a few minutes at the most. After that, the class will come together as a whole and whoever still has unanswered questions can ask.

__**Differentiated Instruction**__
Verbal: Listening to the teacher's presentation. Logical: categorizing between macro and micro categories. Visual: The online note taking tool. Interpersonal: Students working together to answer some of each other's misunderstandings. Intrapersonal: The notes are taken by students individually. Bodily Kinesthetic: During class, students will play the flashcard / memory game with all the new terms introduced.
 * Strategies**

//**I will review student’s IEP, 504 or ELLIDEP and make appropriate modifications and accommodations.**// If someone is absent they can come see me before school, after school, or during a study hall and I can give them a summed up lesson, or give them any worksheets they missed. If you know you will be absent, meet with me beforehand to pick up work and notes.
