Gradual Release of Responsibility Model
Instructional Strategies- Classroom Instruction that works, Research-Based Stretegies for Increasing Student Achievement
1. Identifying similarities and differences.2. Summarizing and note taking3. Reinforcing effort and providing recognition4. Homework and practice5. Nonlinguistic representations6. Setting objectives and providing feedback7. Generating and testing hypotheses8. Questions, cues, and advance organizers
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.
Gradual Release of Responsibility Model-4 components 1. Focus Lesson- “I do it”2. Guide Practice- “We do it”3. Collaborative learning- “You do it
together”4. Independent learning- “You do it
alone”
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 lesson connect to prior learning?Does the lesson review important content
vocabulary so students can better understand the new material?
All Cells Come From Pre-existing Cells
Chapter 9 Concepts 1 -5
pages 180-1
ObjectivesDescribe 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.
IntroductionLets take a look at “The Whole Story on
Skin”.http://kidshealth.org/kid/htbw/skin.html
The Cell CycleThe stages of the Cell Cyle1. Interphase2. The Mitotic Phase
A. Mitosisa. Prophaseb. Metaphasec. Anaphased. Tellophase
B. Cytokinesis

Guided PracticeTeacher 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?

Online ActivityTo 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.”

Cooperative LearningStudents 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.
Students will be divided into groups of 2-3. They will be required to draw the stages of both Mitosis and Meiosis.
Independent LearningStudent 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.
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
Activity 2: Modeling chromosomesDo 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.
