EED 475 Week 8 Assignment Benchmark- Language Arts Unit Plan
Details:
In the first part of the practicum, spend 3 hours each in three
reading classrooms (9 hours total), grades 4-8. It is suggested that these
initial observations occur during Topics 2-4. Analyze how instructors use strategies
to ensure students’ understanding in the reading and writing components of the
reading lessons. Determine how these strategies will influence the second part
of the practicum.
1.
Include both mainstream and language minority students.
2.
Two observations must be in different grade levels and one
observation must be in a Title 1 school.
3.
Choose a specific grade and concept from the Arizona language
arts academic standards.
In the second part of the practicum (between Topics 5 and 6),
select one of the classrooms you observed and spend an additional 6 hours
designing and teaching a week-long (5 day) unit. For this unit use a
single piece of text that is appropriate for the grade level and language arts
academic standards. A poem, short story, newspaper article, or content area
piece may serve as a single text selection.
Create a mini-lesson (15-30 minutes) to address each of the
following areas related to literacy development:
1.
Monday: Oral language and vocabulary
2.
Tuesday: Phonics, word patterns, and word analysis
3.
Wednesday: Fluency
4.
Thursday: Reading Comprehension
5.
Friday: Writing
Each day’s mini-lesson should address an evaluation of learning
that is objective and measurable, and directly assesses the students’
achievement of the targeted academic standards. Every lesson should have the
following structure at a minimum:
1.
Objective (linked to academic standards)
2.
Materials (include copies of all materials to teach lesson)
3.
Procedure (a step-by-step description of the lesson from
beginning to end)
4.
Assessment (a concrete, measurable way to assess the objective)
Each mini-lesson should be a piece of the larger whole, not
individual or unconnected lessons. That is, lessons later in the week should
build on lessons from earlier in the week, and they should all reinforce and
integrate skills from the prior lessons in the weekly sequence.
The remaining 5 hours of the practicum should be used for
conferring with your mentor teacher regarding your teaching, management, and
engagement strategies, as well as conducting an analysis of student learning.
Use your assessment data to formulate a plan to adjust your teaching to meet
student needs. Utilize this data and mentor teacher feedback to adjust your
unit plan before submitting it to the instructor and to LoudCloud.
Write a 1,500-1,750-word proacticum reflection that includes the
following:
1.
A synopsis of your observations in the reading classrooms, and
how they influenced your Language Arts Unit Plan.
2.
A reflection on the language arts unit plan after you taught it.
What were its strengths and weaknesses? What would you change and why? What did
you learn about teaching from your mentor teacher? Include this reflection with
your unit plan.
Ask the classroom teacher to complete the Classroom Teacher
Evaluation Form. Include it, your Language Arts Unit Plan, and the Practicum
Reflection as the benchmark assignment submission to the instructor. Attach the
Practicum Placement Form and Observation Record.
APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is
expected.
This assignment uses a rubric. Review the rubric prior to
beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for
completion.
You are required to submit it to Turnitin.
Submit the assignment to the instructor at the end of Topic 8.
Document the hours and locations that you spend in the field on
your Clinical Field Experience Verification Form.

last assignment by the assignment due date. Directions for submitting can be
found on the College of Education site in the Student Success Center.
