Assignment Field Experience C: Literacy Pre-Assessment And Lesson Plan

Part 1: Literacy Lesson Plan

Develop a lesson plan, using the “COE Lesson Plan Template.” Within your lesson plan, be sure to:

  • Utilize the book identified in your Field Experience B assignment.
  • Include differentiation strategies for the identified students from your Field Experience B assignment. 
  • Include standards and objectives focusing on reading comprehension, vocabulary, and a writing activity.

Upon completing your lesson plan, design a pre-assessment for reading comprehension and vocabulary to give to your identified small group before the lesson.

Share both the pre-assessment and lesson plan with your certified general education classroom teacher to obtain feedback and revise the lesson as necessary.

Pre-assess students within your small group and then teach the reading comprehension and vocabulary sections of the lesson.

Part 2: Reflection

In 250-500 words, summarize and reflect upon teacher feedback related to your pre-assessment and lesson plan, as well as lesson delivery. Identify successes of lesson plan delivery as well as areas of potential growth.  Be sure to explain how you will use your findings in your future professional practice.

Submit your lesson plan, pre-assessment, and summary as one deliverable.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style

Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

LESSON PLAN TEMPLATE

 

Section 1: Lesson Preparation

Teacher Candidate Name:

 

 

 
Grade Level:

 

 

 

Date:

 

 
Unit/Subject:

 

 
Instructional Plan Title:  

 

Lesson Summary and Focus: In 2-3 sentences, summarize the lesson, identifying the central focus based on the content and skills you are teaching.

 

Classroom and Student Factors/Grouping: Describe the important classroom factors (demographics and environment) and student factors (IEPs, 504s, ELLs, students with behavior concerns, gifted learners), and the effect of those factors on planning, teaching, and assessing students to facilitate learning for all students. This should be limited to 2-3 sentences and the information should inform the differentiation components of the lesson.

 

 

 

 

National/State Learning Standards: Review national and state standards to become familiar with the standards you will be working with in the classroom environment.

Your goal in this section is to identify the standards that are the focus of the lesson being presented. Standards must address learning initiatives from one or more content areas, as well as align with the lesson’s learning targets/objectives and assessments.

Include the standards with the performance indicators and the standard language in its entirety.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Specific Learning Target(s)/Objectives: Learning objectives are designed to identify what the teacher intends to measure in learning. These must be aligned with the standards. When creating objectives, a learner must consider the following:

· Who is the audience

· What action verb will be measured during instruction/assessment

· What tools or conditions are being used to meet the learning

 

What is being assessed in the lesson must align directly to the objective created. This should not be a summary of the lesson, but a measurable statement demonstrating what the student will be assessed on at the completion of the lesson. For instance, “understand” is not measureable, but “describe” and “identify” are.

For example:

Given an unlabeled map outlining the 50 states, students will accurately label all state names.

 

 

Academic Language In this section, include a bulleted list of the general academic vocabulary and content-specific vocabulary you need to teach. In a few sentences, describe how you will teach students those terms in the lesson.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Resources, Materials, Equipment, and Technology: List all resources, materials, equipment, and technology you and the students will use during the lesson. As required by your instructor, add or attach copies of ALL printed and online materials at the end of this template. Include links needed for online resources.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Section 2: Instructional Planning

Anticipatory Set

Your goal in this section is to open the lesson by activating students’ prior knowledge, linking previous learning with what they will be learning in this lesson and gaining student interest for the lesson. Consider various learning preferences (movement, music, visuals) as a tool to engage interest and motivate learners for the lesson.

In a bulleted list, describe the materials and activities you will use to open the lesson. Bold any materials you will need to prepare for the lesson.

 

For example:

· I will use a visual of the planet Earth and ask students to describe what Earth looks like.

· I will record their ideas on the white board and ask more questions about the amount of water they think is on planet Earth and where the water is located.

 

Time Needed
Multiple Means of Representation

Learners perceive and comprehend information differently. Your goal in this section is to explain how you would present content in various ways to meet the needs of different learners. For example, you may present the material using guided notes, graphic organizers, video or other visual media, annotation tools, anchor charts, hands-on manipulatives, adaptive technologies, etc.

In a bulleted list, describe the materials you will use to differentiate instruction and how you will use these materials throughout the lesson to support learning. Bold any materials you will need to prepare for the lesson.

 

For example:

· I will use a Venn diagram graphic organizer to teach students how to compare and contrast the two main characters in the read-aloud story.

· I will model one example on the white board before allowing students to work on the Venn diagram graphic organizer with their elbow partner.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Explain how you will differentiate materials for each of the following groups:

 

· English language learners (ELL):

 

 

 

· Students with special needs:

 

 

 

· Students with gifted abilities:

 

 

 

· Early finishers (those students who finish early and may need additional resources/support):

 

 

 

 

Time Needed
Multiple Means of Engagement

Your goal for this section is to outline how you will engage students in interacting with the content and academic language. How will students explore, practice, and apply the content? For example, you may engage students through collaborative group work, Kagan cooperative learning structures, hands-on activities, structured discussions, reading and writing activities, experiments, problem solving, etc.

In a bulleted list, describe the activities you will engage students in to allow them to explore, practice, and apply the content and academic language. Bold any activities you will use in the lesson. Also, include formative questioning strategies and higher order thinking questions you might pose.

 

For example:

· I will use a matching card activity where students will need to find a partner with a card that has an answer that matches their number sentence.

· I will model one example of solving a number sentence on the white board before having students search for the matching card.

· I will then have the partner who has the number sentence explain to their partner how they got the answer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Explain how you will differentiate activities for each of the following groups:

· English language learners (ELL):

 

 

 

· Students with special needs:

 

 

 

· Students with gifted abilities:

 

 

 

· Early finishers (those students who finish early and may need additional resources/support):

 

 

 

 

Time Needed
Multiple Means of Expression

Learners differ in the ways they navigate a learning environment and express what they know. Your goal in this section is to explain the various ways in which your students will demonstrate what they have learned. Explain how you will provide alternative means for response, selection, and composition to accommodate all learners. Will you tier any of these products? Will you offer students choices to demonstrate mastery? This section is essentially differentiated assessment.

In a bulleted list, explain the options you will provide for your students to express their knowledge about the topic. For example, students may demonstrate their knowledge in more summative ways through a short answer or multiple-choice test, multimedia presentation, video, speech to text, website, written sentence, paragraph, essay, poster, portfolio, hands-on project, experiment, reflection, blog post, or skit. Bold the names of any summative assessments.

Students may also demonstrate their knowledge in ways that are more formative. For example, students may take part in thumbs up-thumbs middle-thumbs down, a short essay or drawing, an entrance slip or exit ticket, mini-whiteboard answers, fist to five, electronic quiz games, running records, four corners, or hand raising. Underline the names of any formative assessments.

For example:

Students will complete a one-paragraph reflection on the in-class simulation they experienced. They will be expected to write the reflection using complete sentences, proper capitalization and punctuation, and utilize an example from the simulation to demonstrate their understanding. Students will also take part in formative assessments throughout the lesson, such as thumbs up-thumbs middle-thumbs down and pair-share discussions, where you will determine if you need to re-teach or re-direct learning.

CASE 4.1

Beginning around 1890, members of the Progressive movement advocated a variety of political, economic, and social reforms. They were genuinely concerned about the economic disparities, social disorders, and excesses of industrialization, particularly as they affected children. Progressives denounced the evils of child labor and pushed for legislation banning the practice. They were likewise appalled by the violent and exploitive conditions of reform schools. The fact that orphans were thrown into reform schools for the uncontrollable circumstance of having no parents shocked the Progressives’ moral values. Taking up the plight of the children of the urban immigrant poor, they argued that these children were not bad but were corrupted by the environment in which they grew up.

Selected Answer:

•             Question 41

Needs Grading

Contrast the due process and crime control model

Selected Answer:            Some of the differences between the due process model and the crime control model are in the due process model people that are arrested are perceived to be innocent until proven in a court of law. The crime control model believes that the people that are arrested are guilty and need to be punished by the government. Another difference with both models is the due process model believes that policing within the criminal justice system is essential to maintaining justice within society. The crime control model believes that the arresting of people in the criminal justice system has a negative effect and slows down the process of the criminal justice system. One more difference is the due process model believes in the rights of the defendants and proving their guilt is essential to keep the government in control. The crime control model believes that the rights of the defendant cost too much and the criminal justice system should be spending more money on recruiting police officers and building prisons. Although both models have some differences, they also have some similarities. The due process model and the crime control model both believe that the defense counsel’s job is to act as an advocate within the criminal justice system. Another similarity of both models is they both believe that criminals should be punished if they violated the law.

•             Question 42

Needs Grading

Contrast civil and criminal law proceedings.

Selected Answer:            ivil law and criminal law are two separate limbs of the legal system in America. Each one is broad, with its own set of laws and punishments. There are several differences between criminal cases and civil cases. Criminal cases aim to punish the offender, who has offended the state (or society). Civil lawsuits, on the other hand, are filed to get the offender to make good the wrong they’ve done to another individual. Civil cases may involve matters such as small claims, personal injury or property damage. By contrast, criminal cases involve misdemeanors or felonies committed against the state.

MUSC Discussion

Choose one of the questions from the list below.

1)      Reflect on the question by writing a 2-3 paragraph response.

2)      Include the reference (APA Formate) to an educational website other than Wikipedia that helped you to form your response, with a 2-3 sentence description of how this website enhanced your learning for the week.

3)      Select and add an image to your post that reflects your learning, including the specific reasons you chose the image.

 

Questions are:

  • As a paragon of Indian classical music and the “Godfather of World Music,” Ravi Shankar has influenced countless musicians around the world on many levels. The artists discussed in this chapter are just a small (but important) sampling of what might be described as Shankar’s “global gharana.” Do an internet search of “Ravi Shankar” and use this search to locate musicians who collaborated with him, who acknowledge his influence, or who otherwise are identified in connection with him. Create an annotated list summarizing your findings.
  • Some of the songs in this chapter dealt with challenging social and political issues from adultery and malice to war and cultural resilence in the face of diversity. Identify and discuss some songs with which you are familiar that do likewise. Have these songs affected ypour own thoughts and views on issues they address?
  • Beyond the synthesis of many different Indian and Western elements in his music, A. R. Rahman draws from a diversity of other musical traditions of the world in his film scores and songs. Research Rahman and write a brief report on his use of musical elements and influences from outside the Indian and Western traditions.
  • In Indian films, it is generally assumed that playback singers, rather than the on-screen actors and actresses themselves, are the singers of songs in films. In Western films, contrastingly, there is often a stigma attached to actors and actresses who are “exposed” for not having sung their own songs in their films. Speculate on what might account for this fundamental difference in cultural attitudes and values.
  • Since the time of the Beatles, the sounds of sitars and other traditional Indian instruments (either the actual instruments or digitally sampled versions) have become commonplace in much Western popular music. Recordings of groups and artists ranging from the Rolling Stones to Ricky Martin feature an “Indian” element. Locate and discuss examples of such music using keyword searches on the Internet (e.g. search “Rolling Stones AND sitar” or “Ricky Martin AND sitar.”).
  • Search YouTube for video examples of gamelan and Indonesian popular music. Write a brief report on your findings.
  • The history of the Balinese dance-drama Kecak provides an interesting example of the kind of complex relationships between tradition and modernity that define many world music traditions. Though it is promoted as a “Traditional Balinese genre,” it is, in fact, a product of the 20th century intercultural innovation. Try to think of types of music with which you are familiar that are marketed as “Traditional” and “Authentic” despite being modern and contemporary in many if not most respects.
