Background
Information
for Teachers
Before Lesson
• Post Learning Goals and Success Criteria for this lesson.
• Have the Anecdotal Observation Template (BLM #2) ready on a clipboard

• Have a blank 8-x-14-inch sheet of paper for each group to create their
chart for categorizing.

Diagram (BLM #4) enlarged on 11-x-17-inch paper ready for each group,
and one enlarged on chart paper.
Step A:
Assessment
as Learning
Lesson Note: This lesson starts with a review of Lesson 1, “What Does
It Mean to Have Perseverance?” Please review that lesson to get some
background on and insights into the learning experiences that this lesson
will build upon.
ACTIVATING PRIOR KNOWLEDGE
Anchor Chart: Revisit Perseverance Looks Like/Sounds Like T-Chart and
Mind Maps.
Teacher Talk: During our last class we discussed what Perseverance means,
as well as what it looks like and sounds like. Does anyone want to add to the
chart, now that you’ve had time to reflect?
You also had the opportunity, on your Mind Map, to look closer at one
example from your own life in which you displayed Perseverance. We looked
at how displaying Perseverance affected not only you but also others.
