 * Students will be paired in groups of two where they will share the comic life they have created. ||

I will review students' IEPs, 504s or ELLIDEPs and make the appropriate modifications and accommodations.
 * =Differentiated Instruction= ||
 * **Strategies**
 * Musical:** Students will view a music [|video] on the quadratic formula.
 * Intrapersonal:** Students will first work alone creating their comic life.
 * Logical:** Students will solve systems of equations using the quadratic formula.
 * Visual:** Students will graph these equations.
 * Interpersonal:** Students will work in groups discussing the comic life they have made.
 * Verbal:** Students will discuss their comic life with other students. ||
 * **Modifications/Accommodations**

Absent students are responsible for getting the appropriate information given in class by using the class wiki. The class wiki will have an outline of what we did in class. Any handouts used in class will be uploaded to the class wiki for absent students to download and print off. Absent students will have an extra class period to finish the work they missed. If assignments are not completed for the extra day they will not receive credit for the assignment. || Students will first view a music video on youtube about the quadratic formula. Students will then create a comic life portraying the different graphs they have created by solving different systems of equations using the quadratic formula. ||

 * =Maine Standards for Initial Teacher Certification and Rationale= ||
 * __Standard 3__ - Demonstrates a knowledge of the diverse ways in which students learn and develop by providing learning opportunities that support their intellectual, physical, emotional, social, and cultural development.
 * Rationale:** This lesson demonstrates Standard 3 for the Standards for Initial Teacher Certification and Rationale because students are using a variety of different learning methods to learn how the use of the quadratic formula. Students will first watch a music video on the quadratic formula, then they will take quick notes on how to solve equations using the quadratic formula and then they will solve a few examples on their own and they will project the graphs they have created from the examples onto a comic life project. Once they have created their comic life project, they will share and discuss it with a partner. This gives them an opportunity to develop in their intellectual skills as well as their social and cultural skills. ||
 * __Standard 4__ - Plans instruction based upon knowledge of subject matter, students, curriculum goals, and learning and development theory.
 * Rationale:** This lesson demonstrates Standard 4 for the Standards for Initial Teacher Certification and Rationale because I will give an overview on the use of the quadratic formula. For example, you can use the quadratic formula which is[[image:http://upload.wikimedia.org/math/3/e/a/3ea647783b5121989cd87ca3bb558916.png width="199" height="44" caption="x = frac{-b pm sqrt {b^2-4ac}}{2a},"]]to find values of x. It is important to know the use of the quadratic formula because when equations get more complicated, the quadratic formula allows you to solve them much easier. You can use these values of x that you find in specific problems that ask for time or other real life examples. ||
 * __Standard 5__ - Understands and uses a variety of instructional strategies and appropriate technology to meet students’ needs.
 * Rationale:** This lesson demonstrates Standard 5 for the Standards for Initial Teacher Certification and Rationale because here is a list of the different intelligences incorporated into this lesson plan. This will teach to a variety of students that all learn different ways:
 * Musical:** Students will view a music [|video] on the quadratic formula.
 * Intrapersonal:** Students will first work alone creating their comic life.
 * Logical:** Students will solve systems of equations using the quadratic formula.
 * Visual:** Students will graph these equations.
 * Interpersonal:** Students will work in groups discussing the comic life they have made.
 * Verbal:** Students will discuss their comic life with other students. ||
 * __Standard 8__ - Understands and uses a variety of formal and informal assessment strategies to evaluate and support the development of the learner.
 * Rationale:** This lesson demonstrates Standard 8 for the Standards for Initial Teacher Certification and Rationale because students will have a formal assessment by using a KWL Chart. The KWL Chart will give me a good understanding of students know prior to the lesson as well as what they want to learn about the quadratic formula. The summative assessment will be a graded comic life project the students have made in class. The comic life project will represent the different graphs they have solved for. This assessment also incorporates Type II technology into the classroom. ||


 * =Teaching and Learning Sequence:= ||
 * Students will first be seated by at their own desk in a u-shaped style of seating. This way every students can see me at the board as well as the other students in the class.

Agenda:
 * KWL Chart
 * Video
 * Work alone solving equations using the quadratic formula
 * Create a comic life of the graphs of the equations solved
 * Share comic life with a partner

Students will understand that the quadratic formula helps you find x. This connects to projecting graphs of real life scenarios. ex. slope of a mountain. Students will be solving families of parabolas. After filling out the KWL chart, students will view a music [|video] on the quadratic formula. (10 min)
 * Where, Why, What, Hook Tailor: Visual and** **Musical** ||
 * Students will know the use of the quadratic formula. They will first fill out a KWL Chart about what they know about the quadratic formula prior to the lesson. These will be placed on their desk at the beginning of the class. The KWL chart will be a quick way for me to get an understanding about what students know about the quadratic formula. Students will take notes for ten minutes on how to solve systems of equations using the quadratic formula. Students will then solve systems of equations using the quadratic formula by themselves once they have finished taking notes. I will walk around assisting and answering an questions students may have about solving the equations. (30 min)
 * Equip, Explore, Rethink, Tailor: Intrapersonal and Logical** ||
 * Students will use a laptop to create a comic life project which will portray the different graphs they have created after solving the equations for 20 minutes. These graphs will demonstrate the use of the quadratic formula. Students will then be paired with another person where they will discuss and share the comic life projects they have created. They will do this for about 10 minutes. (30 min)
 * Explore, Experience, Rethink, Revise, Refine, Tailors:** **Interpersonal** **and Verbal** ||
 * Students will write a journal entry on their likes and dislikes of this method of learning for ten minutes. Did students enjoy the research, and working with other students? Did students find this task to be useful? This will give me a more in depth idea of what students are thinking about this task. To wrap up we will discuss the thoughts of students, this will be a basic overview of their journal entry. This lesson will help them with graphing functions using the quadratic formula for homework. (10 min)
 * Evaluate, Tailors: Intrapersonal** ||
