Assignment:
Allocate at least 5 hours to complete this field experience.
Observe one grade 1 to 3 classroom during literacy instruction. Keep in mind you will design a pre-assessment and literacy lesson plan for the small group of students identified in the classroom as part of future field experience assignments.
In your observations, identify 3 to 5 students at various learning levels and needs (i.e., low average, highly performing, IEP, ADHD, and behavior concerns).
Discuss with the certified general education classroom teacher:
- Your observations of the identified small group and determine specific student literacy needs.
- Develop strategies to differentiate learning focusing on identified student needs.
- Identify an appropriate book to be used within literacy lesson plans that include reading comprehension, vocabulary, and writing activities. Take into consideration identified student needs, differentiation strategies, and appropriate technology tools.
In 250 to 500 words, summarize and reflect upon your observations and discussion, identifying literacy lesson plan ideas related to reading comprehension, vocabulary, and writing activities that utilize the identified book. Be sure to explain how you will use your findings in your future professional practice.
