Original PromptThis lesson plan is designed to hit the "Highly Effective" markers of the **Danielson Rubric**, specifically focusing on **Component 3b (Questioning)** and **3c (Engagement)**. Since you are on a Regents timeline, it prioritizes "pattern recognition" over rote memorization.

## **Period 2: Organic Reactions "The Translation"**
### **I. Do Now (5–7 Minutes)**
*Goal: Bridge the gap from naming (Period 1) to reactions.*
* **The Task:** Display two structures on the board: **Ethane** and **Eth...
This learning resource focuses on identifying and predicting organic chemical reactions through functional group analysis and structural pattern recognition. It includes exercises for students to draw structural formulas for Ethane and Ethene, comparing their reactivity in addition reactions. The document explains the differences between saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons and presents a cheat sheet summarizing seven major types of organic reactions: Substitution, Addition, Combustion, Fermentation, Esterification, Saponification, and Polymerization. Students are guided through practical tasks that require them to identify functional groups using a provided table, predict products, and justify their reasoning. The resource culminates in an exit ticket task involving structural reaction drawing and identification of specific reactions.
