This portion of the GSL is where language can get a little difficult. Here, you must provide what the student will ascertain from your lesson in regards to concepts, knowledge, skills, and behavior. Easy enough, right? Well, when you start typing, you will realize that you can easily juxtapose concepts, knowledge, and skills. Aim for at least one student learning statement in each category.
Let's break down the terminology to make this step easier to complete.
Concepts: Concepts are the umbrellas that cover knowledge (information, vocabulary) and skills (performance). For example, for a lesson that includes a concept of explication (or close reading) of text, some of the elements of knowledge will be figurative language (metaphors and similes) and understanding the purpose of different types of poetry (haiku, lament, sonnet).
Knowledge: As mentioned in the example above, knowledge is considered the information or vocabulary needed to understand a concept.
Skills: Students should be able to successfully perform (do) these tasks (skills) at the conclusion of the lesson unit. For example, comprehending informational texts, utilizing Internet databases for research purposes, fostering effective communication are considered skills.
Behavior: Behavior is a description of how the students should function while engaged in you lesson or unit. I like to think of this 'how' the students will gain concepts and knowledge.
