Part I. Planning Your Lesson
Supporting All Learners
1.
Throughout my lesson, I encouraged my students to be patient and take their time with the graphic organizer. I listened attentively to their needs and focused on sharing the story
"Max's good habits," repeating important points as needed. When a student had difficulty memorizing while reading, I sat down with them and read the story together. I also provided translation assistance for a student whose first language was Spanish. Max’s good habit. K5 Learning. (n.d.)
Differentiation
2.
When preparing for my lesson in Mrs. Simpson's class, I already knew which students required extra assistance. To provide support, I found it helpful to group students based on their readiness levels or to complement each other, which is a way to achieve differentiated learning. It's important to consider the classroom environment as well since
it affects learning. Making physical changes to the classroom, such as adjusting the desk arrangement or seating students away from the window to avoid distractions, can also be helpful. English as a Second Language Learners
3.
My goal is to assist students who are learning English as a second language by encouraging them to express their knowledge. This is known as "academic language," and while some learners acquire it naturally over time, many students, including native English speakers, require reinforcement to develop this skill. For instance, if the lesson was about prediction in Spanish, it would be "predicción." The student I worked with 2

shared a prediction about his favorite soccer team, predicting that they would win their next game. I encourage students to discuss topics they enjoy. Also Use explicit vocabulary instruction to help DLL children learn new words. I supported children's language learning by repeating and modeling new words, emphasizing words like "regular," "parents," "reading," "magazine," and "project."

Part II. Implementation of Instruction
Concepts of Literacy
During class, I used PowerPoint and presented on the smart board. The board had a translation device for two ESL students who spoke Spanish. I also utilized the "k5learning" website to display the story in Spanish. I gave clear directions and began the lesson using the smart board. A translator was available for Spanish speakers, and an English second language tutor was available for extra assistance. I focused on reading "Max's Good Habits" and answering questions. One ESAL student responded by practicing reading every day to become a good reader. Student responded by

Components of Literacy
One of the evidence-based strategies I used was group discussion and sharing ideas out loud. This allowed students to brainstorm with a friend and gather ideas from their classmates, which helped them think of things they may not have thought of on their own. To track progress and understanding, I will analyze notes I keep in my notebook. Additionally, I will note
whether or not the lesson I presented was effective and identify ways to improve it to better help all students.

The assessment helped students reflect and evaluate themselves. They collaborated with classmates to complete a graphic organizer covering reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills. Students read aloud to each other to practice speaking and listening. ESOL students were paired with peers for extra assistance. The process included producing a draft, sharing ideas, and revising, editing, and proofreading. I reviewed their work to ensure understanding and provided additional support during breakout groups.
Planning Instruction
7.
After watching Mr. Larson field experience video, I believe he also utilized some of the lesson methods that I used in my own lessons. We both planned our instruction based on pre-assessment data, as well as our knowledge of the students, their families, and the community. Communication
was key, as we both asked questions and worked together to enhance the learning experience. Additionally, we both utilized the smart board to enhance the learning process.
Making Connections Across the Curriculum
8.
In order to ensure the success of my lesson, I made sure that the objectives aligned with state standards and curriculum. These objectives consisted of three elements: an explanation, an outcome, and a definition of the story. To encourage active engagement, I
prompted students to make predictions before, during, and after reading the text. I presented this information using a PowerPoint and followed up with a graphic organizer activity where students shared their ideas. Once completed, students submitted their work
to me for review. To further enhance the lesson, I integrated technology through the use of the Smart Board and PowerPoint. By clicking on links within the PowerPoint, students
were able to access relevant information related to different areas of study.

Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving Skills
9.
My goal is to enhance students' critical thinking abilities by equipping them with problem-solving skills. To achieve this, I make use of thought-provoking questions, statements, or scenarios that encourage discussions. For instance, I frequently ask 'what if'
questions that challenge students to explain concepts using analogies, similes, and metaphors.
Mr. Larson's understanding of his students' backgrounds proved invaluable in promoting higher-order thinking skills. He was able to customize his teaching style to meet each student's comprehension level by taking into account their previous knowledge.
Mr. Larson's students were evaluated through a multiple-choice game that allowed for the
use of various learning tools and group collaboration. In general, the purpose of the lesson was to improve students' critical thinking and problem-solving abilities while creating a fun and interactive learning experience.
