Literacy Lesson Plan (Language Development in Young Children)

Create a developmentally appropriate literacy lesson plan that supports language and literacy experiences.
Include the following in your lesson plan, using the 

template

:

1. Identify the lesson objectives.
2. Describe the alignment with language and literacy standards.
3. Describe the lesson procedure. This should be detailed so that another teacher could use this to implement the lesson.
4. Explain strategies to support children learning a second language.
5. Explain modifications for students with special needs.
6. Identify appropriate materials.  Use the textbook and at least one outside resource, with citations in APA format.
7. Create an assessment plan.  How will you measure improvement?

Your one- to two-page lesson plan (in addition to the title and reference pages) should utilize the template and be in-depth so another reader would know exactly what to do it they were teaching the lesson.  It must be formatted according to APA style, citing two to three scholarly resources (including the course text).  Since you will be using a template, it is not necessary to include a title and cover page.
Since this is an assignment that you will be able to use in your future role, share your lesson plan with the class through the Doc Sharing tab.  Doing this will allow others to see various language lessons. This will provide you with peer feedback that could help you to continue to grow.  That said, you will still need to upload your assignment for grading as a Word file.
When you submit your assignments each week, they will be returned to you with specific feedback.  This feedback should be used to revise the assignment for the Final Project.  Please make the necessary corrections and save for Week Five use in the Final Project.

  

This textbook I am working on is working with children between the ages of birth to 5 years old.  I need a paper that examines preschool to kindergarden situation.

        

Here is the example of the template

– Overview

Subject:

Grade:

Topic:

Duration:

Goals/Objectives:

This is what students will be able to know or do at the end of the lesson.

Standards Covered:

Standards might be by state (visit your State Department of Education website), Common Core (http://www.corestandards.org), NAEYC (http://www.naeyc.org) or even performance-based. Standards are the knowledge or skills that students will be expected to demonstrate.

Materials:

The list of all items needed throughout a lesson.

Introduction:

Teachers will activate students prior knowledge and experience to help them relate to the lesson and to peak their interest.

Lesson Development:

The information that will be covered and how (through modeling, direct instruction, centers, etc.), along with the questions that will be covered. This is where you will share what you will do to teach your students the concept.

Practice/ Checking for
Understanding:

Students are given the opportunity to apply what they have learned. It can be through guided practice and/or independent practice. Guided practice allows students to demonstrate their understanding of the material while the teacher is present and can provide needed assistance. Independent practice might be group work, projects or homework.

Closing:

Here the teacher reviews the highlights of a lesson and brings closure to the activity.

Personal Reflection:

Here the teacher reflects on what went well during the lesson, what might need to be adjusted next time, and any information that still needs to be addressed in order for students to meet their goals or objectives.
