When focusing on listening and speaking skills, it is essential to make a connection to interpersonal communication skills that will be used throughout the students’ educational and professional future. Through hearing how others use language, and using it themselves, students work together, describe their surroundings, and make sense of their own and each other’s experiences. Integrating listening and speaking skills with reading and writing instruction reemphasizes the importance of language and literacy in everyday life. ELM 480 First Grade COE Lesson Plan Template Worksheet

For this assignment, use the “COE Lesson Plan Template” to create a lesson plan for the students in the “Class Profile” that focuses on listening and speaking, and is based on the literature you previously selected.

Include the following in your lesson:

• Objectives aligned to state or national grade appropriate listening and speaking standards
• Content-specific vocabulary development
• Engaging instructional strategies and activities in listening and speaking
• Assessment aligned to learning objectives that is engaging for students and provides meaningful feedback
• Differentiation to meet learning differences or needs

In a 250-500 word reflection, rationalize your instructional choices, citing how the listening and speaking activities chosen build upon the previously taught English language arts skills. Justify why the listening and speaking strategies implemented are essential.

APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.

Section 1: Lesson Preparation

Section 2: Instructional Planning

For this benchmark, you will choose one of the three lesson plans you created in this course to build a weeklong unit plan. Use the “Math Unit Plan” to prepare your weeklong math unit plan. Utilize any feedback from your instructor modify and adjust instruction to meet the diverse needs of students. Benchmark – Mathematics and Literacy Integrated Unit

For the unit plan, include the following components: lesson title, math standards, learning objectives, instructional strategies, summary of instruction, differentiation, materials, resources, and technology, and formative and summative assessments.

As you are creating your unit plan, focus on integrating the following elements:

• Major math concepts including number and operations, algebra, geometry, measurement, data analysis, problem solving, reason, communication, connections, and representation.
• A variety of teaching strategies, media, resources, and technology that encourage development in critical thinking and problem solving across content areas, with a focus on literacy.
• Effective verbal, nonverbal, and media communication techniques to create opportunities for active inquiry, collaboration, and supportive interaction.
• Differentiate instruction based on the diverse needs of students in the “Class Profile.”

Part 2: Rationale

In 250-500 words, provide a rationale that explains your reasoning behind your chosen instructional strategies. How do the formative assessments provide opportunities to modify instruction that promotes continuous intellectual, social, emotional, and physical development? Explain the value of utilizing knowledge from professionals in other content areas to enhance instruction and learning experiences for students.

Support your findings with a minimum of three scholarly resources.

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

Clinical Field Experience C: Math Mini-Lesson Plan

Part 1: Math Mini-Lesson Plan

Part 3: Reflection

I feel like this mini-lesson planning was a great learning experience for me by far! My mentor allowed me to model my teaching strategy with the board and the magnets to represent numbers. I was a little nervous at first, because I have never tried to teach math to a small group of students before but it became fun. The students seemed to be attentive and enjoyed the concept of using magnets to represent numbers. The mentor also allowed me to use my pre-assessment data and lesson plan to see how the students perform. The students worked at their own pace, and if they had any trouble, I was more than glad to assist them at their desk or at my mentors.

After completing the “Math Mini-Lesson Plan,” share it with your mentor teacher for feedback. Provided permission, teach the mini-lesson plan to the small group of selected students. During your lesson, ensure you are answering questions from your students, asking questions that support critical thinking and problem solving, and observing the understanding from each student (this might require formative assessments before, during, and after the lesson to determine understanding). Most of the students were on the right track with their numbers, but a couple of them would get order of sequence mixed up.I do  feel like there was student growth going in from this lesson, the students seemed more confident at the end of class.  Using pre-assessment data for lesson planning creates a base for what expectations that need to be met and can help narrow down learning barriers.  Pre-assessments also provide data to the instructor to make special assignments for above level and below grade level students. In my future teachings, all of my students data will be highly confidential and respected. The assessment data will only be used for comparisons and no ones name will be shown on any example that I may provide. This lesson is both beneficial for short-term and long-term learning. The short-term learning is great for students at the beginning stages of numbers, but they will benefit from the lesson long-term by always remembering the lesson and having prior knowledge of learning to count.

Professional Growth Plan Template

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.

Engaging students in listening and speaking activities can include debates, discussions, presentations, and persuasive writing. All of these components are crucial to expanding students’ growth in communication skills.

Part 1: Listening, Speaking and Writing Activities

Use the “Listening, Speaking, and Writing Activities” template and “Class Profile” to complete this assignment.

Using the same grade levelyou selected for your previous lesson plans or from your field experiences, select a state standard that focuses on listening, writing, and speaking skills to develop three listening, speaking, and writing activities.

Below are examples of possible activities:

• Persuasive writing, speech writing, debates, class discussions, presentations on topics of student interest, persuasive advertisement, or advertisement campaign

Your learning activities should be appropriate for students detailed within the “Class Profile” and include the following:

• Strategies that encourage students to apply personal opinions toward the interpretation of texts
• Various forms of communication (verbal, nonverbal, media, etc.) techniques to foster elementary students’ active inquiry, collaboration, and supportive interaction
• Accommodations related to assessment and testing conditions to meet diverse needs of students

Part 2: Rationale

In 250-500 words, rationalize your instructional choices explaining why the activities chosen are appropriate for all ”Class Profile” students and clearly focuses on creativity and student engagement. In addition, explain the elements of effective speaking. Additionally, discuss how verbal and nonverbal communication affects the persuasive aspect of having students advertise and/or present an idea.

APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.
