EL321 Critical Assignment 2 Task 1: Planning for Instruction Teacher Candidate: Course Number & CRN: EL321 (32968) Respond to the prompts below by typing your responses following each prompt. Responses should be thorough, concise, and explicit. 1. What is the grade level and topic(s) for the lesson? The grade level for this lesson is grade 3. 2. What is the central focus of the lesson plan? Why is this important for your particular students? The central focus of this learning segment is for students to have the ability to identify the main idea of a picture when looking at a primary source. 3. How does the central focus/objectives align with the state standards and/or Common Core standards you chose for your lesson plan? This central focus aligns with the state standard RI 3.2. Determine the main idea of a text; recount the key details and explain how they support the main idea [RI. 3.2] 4. Explain the following: a. What prior knowledge do your students have about the central focus? The prior knowledge my students have about the central focus is knowing what a primary source and a main idea is. b. How do your choices of instructional strategies, materials and the sequence of learning tasks reflect your students’ backgrounds, interests and needs? Be specific about how your knowledge of the students informs your lesson plan. Be specific about how this knowledge informed choices such as materials, grouping, texts, and other resources. I gave an interest inventory at the beginning of the year to be able to pull from throughout the remainder of the school year in order to choose the topics. 5. Explain how you will engage the students and what higher order questions you might ask. I will engage my students by using topics that interest them and provoke curiosity. Higher order questions that I might ask include: What is happening in this picture? Do you think this was from a long time ago or more recent? Does anything look familiar to you in this picture? 6. Explain how you will make connections across the curriculum to develop literacy or language arts skills. By using primary sources in social studies and incorporating it into ELA, the learners will be able to make connections on how they can use what they learn from one subject and apply it to another. 7. What strategies and experiences will you use for students with special needs? In this case it would be your ELL students. Be specific about your choices and why they are appropriate. Differentiation of content will be done by placing students in predetermined groups based on previous formative assessments. Differentiation will also be done for English Language Learners by providing two main idea choices instead of four during the activity. Differentiation for students with ADD will occur by providing them with a checklist of things to be done and a timer to ensure timely completion. Additional time will be provided for ELL and ADD students if needed. 1
