Creating a Learning/lesson Unit

Create a 3 day learning (lesson) unit within your content area. Each day should feature explicit instruction around literacy (reading, writing, speaking, listening, and or using standard English appropriately).

• Be sure to follow the lesson plan template provided in class; provide 3 separate lessons (but each is a part of a the same 3 lesson unit)
• Components of the lesson plan should include the following: o Schemata

  o Pre assessment prior to the start of class

  o Warm up (where no instruction should take place but is an activity to get

  students excited/invested in what they are going to learn)

  o Content related terms

  o Procedure that reflects differentiated instruction (for readers with high,

  middle, and low proficiencies)

  o Procedures that reflect various learning styles (kinesthetic, auditory, and

  visual) o Closure

  o Post assessment (some way to ensure that students learned what you taught)

  o Relevant Common Core Standards/College and Career Readiness Standards

• Remember that reading strategies, that enhance formal literacy acquisition, should be evident within each lesson

  o See professional development presentations for ideas about literacy strategies and topics to address
