Assignments : Oral Language Development Lesson Plan
Using the "Class Profile," identify a group of 3-4 students who would benefit from an oral language development lesson. Then, select a corresponding grade level and text from Appendix B of the Common Core English Language Arts Standards appropriate for use in a lesson plan for the determined group.
With your choices in mind and using the GCU Lesson Plan Template, design a lesson plan, utilizing a read-aloud, dramatic play, or storytelling, as an instructional strategy. Thoroughly script the "I Do, Students Do" section, emphasizing the use of questions to access student's background knowledge in order to build new knowledge and develop common understanding through shared, concrete experiences.
Upon completion of the lesson plan, compose a 250-300-word summary, rationalizing your instructional decisions, applicable to the chosen small group.
APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.
