comprehension until this year. Jacob is willing to adopt new strategies that will assist him in learning <strong>and</strong><br />

remembering new vocabulary words <strong>and</strong> to help him better underst<strong>and</strong> the story as a whole. Jacob <strong>and</strong> his teacher<br />

<strong>EED</strong> <strong>475</strong> Week 8 Assignment Benchmark- Language Arts Unit Plan<br />

Details:<br />

In the first part of the practicum, spend 3 hours each in three reading classrooms (9 hours total), grades 4-8. It is<br />

suggested that these initial observations occur during Topics 2-4. Analyze how instructors use strategies to ensure


students’ underst<strong>and</strong>ing in the reading <strong>and</strong> writing components of the reading lessons. Determine how these<br />

strategies will influence the second part of the practicum.<br />

1. Include both mainstream <strong>and</strong> language minority students.<br />

2. Two observations must be in different grade levels <strong>and</strong> one observation must be in a Title 1 school.<br />

3. Choose a specific grade <strong>and</strong> concept from the Arizona language arts academic st<strong>and</strong>ards.<br />

In the second part of the practicum (between Topics 5 <strong>and</strong> 6), select one of the classrooms you observed <strong>and</strong> spend<br />

an additional 6 hours designing <strong>and</strong> teaching a week-long (5 day) unit. For this unit use a single piece of text that is<br />

appropriate for the grade level <strong>and</strong> language arts academic st<strong>and</strong>ards. A poem, short story, newspaper article, or<br />

content area piece may serve as a single text selection.<br />

Create a mini-lesson (15-30 minutes) to address each of the following areas related to literacy development:<br />

1. Monday: Oral language <strong>and</strong> vocabulary<br />

2. Tuesday: Phonics, word patterns, <strong>and</strong> word analysis<br />

3. Wednesday: Fluency<br />

4. Thursday: Reading Comprehension<br />

5. Friday: Writing<br />

Each day’s mini-lesson should address an evaluation of learning that is objective <strong>and</strong> measurable, <strong>and</strong> directly<br />

assesses the students’ achievement of the targeted academic st<strong>and</strong>ards. Every lesson should have the following<br />

structure at a minimum:<br />

1. Objective (linked to academic st<strong>and</strong>ards)<br />

2. Materials (include copies of all materials to teach lesson)<br />

3. Procedure (a step-by-step description of the lesson from beginning to end)<br />

4. Assessment (a concrete, measurable way to assess the objective)<br />

Each mini-lesson should be a piece of the larger whole, not individual or unconnected lessons. That is, lessons later<br />

in the week should build on lessons from earlier in the week, <strong>and</strong> they should all reinforce <strong>and</strong> integrate skills from the<br />

prior lessons in the weekly sequence.<br />

The remaining 5 hours of the practicum should be used for conferring with your mentor teacher regarding your<br />

teaching, management, <strong>and</strong> engagement strategies, as well as conducting an analysis of student learning. Use your<br />

assessment data to formulate a plan to adjust your teaching to meet student needs. Utilize this data <strong>and</strong> mentor<br />

teacher feedback to adjust your unit plan before submitting it to the instructor <strong>and</strong> to LoudCloud.<br />

Write a 1,500-1,750-word proacticum reflection that includes the following:<br />

1. A synopsis of your observations in the reading classrooms, <strong>and</strong> how they influenced your Language Arts<br />

Unit Plan.<br />

2. A reflection on the language arts unit plan after you taught it. What were its strengths <strong>and</strong> weaknesses?<br />

What would you change <strong>and</strong> why? What did you learn about teaching from your mentor teacher? Include this<br />

reflection with your unit plan.<br />

Ask the classroom teacher to complete the Classroom Teacher Evaluation Form. Include it, your Language Arts Unit<br />

Plan, <strong>and</strong> the Practicum Reflection as the benchmark assignment submission to the instructor. Attach the Practicum<br />

Placement Form <strong>and</strong> Observation Record.<br />

APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.<br />

This assignment uses a rubric. Review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the<br />

expectations for completion.<br />

You are required to submit it to Turnitin.<br />

Submit the assignment to the instructor at the end of Topic 8.<br />

Document the hours <strong>and</strong> locations that you spend in the field on your Clinical Field Experience Verification Form.<br />
