Lesson Plan Worksheet #1
KUDOs
Writing KUDOs helps us translate standards into language students and parents can understand. KUDOs are a way to
write learning goals for each standard that specify the following:
What do I want my students to Know?
o What facts, vocabulary, dates, rules, people, places do you want students to know at the end of this
lesson?
o Knows are usually a list of things we want students to recall or memorize.
o Knows can easily be translated into lower level learning targets/lesson objectives.
What do I want my students to Understand?
o What concepts, principles, and generalizations do you want your students to understand?
o Understandings are generally written as sentences and describe the concept or principle we want
students to understand.
o Understandings are the “big ideas” of the unit or lesson and guide what activities we choose for students
to engage in during our lesson as well as our lesson targets.
What do I want my students to be able to Do?
o What will my students be able to do independently by the end of the lesson?
o Do’s are skills and processes.
o Do’s are written as statements beginning with a verb usually from Bloom’s Taxonomy or Webb’s Depth
of Knowledge.
o Do’s can easily be translated into learning targets/ lesson objectives.
Examples of KUDOs:
Ohio Academic Standard: Strand: Reading and Literature; Topic: Key Ideas and Details; RL.2.3-
Describe how characters in a story respond to major events and challenges.
Know:
- Definitions of character, plot, problem.
Understand:
- Every story has events or challenges that characters respond to with different actions or behaviors.
Do:
- Identify the most important event or challenge a character faces in a story.
- Describe how a character responds to the challenge in the story.
Ohio Academic Standard: Domain: Operations and Algebraic Thinking; Cluster: Solve problems
involving the four operations, and identify and explain patterns in arithmetic; 3.OA.8- Solve
two-step word problems using the four operations.
Know:
- Definition of add, subtract, multiply, and divide.
- A letter or symbol can represent an unknown quantity
- In solving a two-step word problem one or more of the four operations may be used.
Understand:
- How to interpret word problems to determine the operation to be used.
- How to reflect on the results to determine if they are reasonable.
Do:
- Solve two-step word problems with whole numbers.
, - Use estimation strategies to determine the reasonableness of the answer.
Directions: Choose 5 academic standards in your chosen content area/grade level band. Make KUDOs for each one.
Standard 1:
Ohio Academic Standard: Strand: History - Topic Historical Thinking and Skills
3.1 Events in local history can be shown on timelines organized by years, decades and centuries.
KUDOs:
Know:
- Have a clear sense of time – past, present and future
- Identify significant events in history
Understand:
- The relationship between events and how to draw conclusions.
- Organize these events by years, decades and centuries
Do:
- Create and interpret timelines that display historical events using different time scales
Standard 2:
Ohio Academic Standard: Mathematics- Domain OPERATIONS AND ALGEBRAIC THINKING 3.OA.1 Interpret products
of whole numbers
KUDOs:
Know:
- Interpret and solve multiplication and division problems
- Understand these operations in multiple contexts
Understand:
- How to use these operations to solve real-world problems
Do:
- Use these operations in contexts such as drawings and models and correctly solve these problems
Standard 3:
Ohio Academic Standard: Strand: Reading - RL.3.1 Ask and answer questions to demonstrate understanding of a
text, referring explicitly to the text as the basis for the answers.
KUDOs:
Know:
- Identify key details in text and know their role in developing the story
Understand:
- Asking and answering questions about the key details will deepen their comprehension of the idea
Do:
- Ask and answer questions related to key ideas of the story, using evidence from the text
Standard 4:
Ohio Academic Standard: Strand: Life Science 3.LS.3: Plants and animals have life cycles that are part of their
adaptations for survival in their natural environments.
