Muer Lesson Plan 2

TE 402 READING LESSON PLAN

Reading Lesson Plan # _2__

Your Name:  _____Megan Muer_____________   Grade Level:  _________  

Date lesson was taught:  __4/17/13____________  Number of Students: ___2____

1) Rationale (What evidence do you have that your focus students need to learn this skill/strategy?):

My MT told me to specifically work with these two students on comprehension skills.

2) List the reading skill/strategy that is the main focus of your lesson (select ONE area):

Summarizing the entire story, including details as well.

3) Objective for this lesson (performance, condition, criteria):

Recalling the events in the story and writing a paragraph describing the events that stood out to the student.

4) Materials & supplies needed:

Paper, pencil and Harvey Potter’s Balloon Farm

5) OUTLINE OF LESSON PLAN (Provide a bulleted list of ideas):

PRE-READING: make participation norms explicit, elicit background knowledge, develop interest, set purpose (_5__minutes)

• Make participation norms explicit

·         Quietly have the children sit and write a paragraph summarizing the main points in the story. What details do they remember?

•  Introduce the text 

·         Quick write before sharing with others.

DURING READING: Model how to engage with the text (e.g., use of reading strategies and analytic thinking process, inserting vocabulary support, comments and questions to support and extend comprehension and interpretation) (_10_ minutes)

·         Have each child share their summaries and use to book as a resource for the correct sequence. Compare summaries and pull out specific details by asking both children; who were the main characters, what was the main conflict in the story? Who was the narrator? These questions will tell me how well the student paid attention while reading, remembered and can comprehend.

POST-READING ACTIVITIES AND DISCUSSION: Provide scaffolding for guided practice and/or application activity (_5_ minutes)

·         Have the student’s think of any additional questions they have about the story such as how does the lady grow her balloons out of the ground? Also share why about the story they liked?

ONGOING-ASSESSMENT: what will you pay attention to in order to evaluate the extent to which your students met the stated objectives for the lesson (2__ minutes)

·         The students will share their paragraphs out loud but also use the work sample as an assessment of not only their comprehension abilities, recall and summarizing but their writing abilities too.

6) Based on what you know about your focus students, what Academic, Social and/or Linguistic Support will be needed during the lesson?

I will have the students share their summary paragraphs out loud in order to fully understand their comprehension abilities and not just focus on their writing abilities in the paragraph. Using vocal and writing methods together helps meet the needs of all the students depending upon if they are auditory or visual learners.
