Phases 1

Assessing Prior Knowledge



For the poetry assignment students will be working on fluency in a poetry selection. This would not be the first time I would assess their fluency and would have already listened to them read individually so I would have a handle on their individual skills.
After assessing each student for their abilities and knowledge of the subject area I would place them in the groups that would make them the most successful.

Plans Instruction
Objective:TSW use technology for reading, listening and speaking with fluency and appropriate rhythm, pacing, intonation, and vocal patterns. (This is connected to the state standards and is appropriate for 3rd grade students.) Students will know that this is the goal of this activity.


Designing Instruction


Our lesson has been created to use learning centers. In each center they will use a different skill. Each center will be labeled with instructions and center responsibilities. Each center will focus on a form of literacy. The centers will include print concepts, fluency, writing, reading and listening. Each center will use technology in some way.

Planning Assessment
Assessment of our lesson will be technology based. Students will use voice recordings, and work entered onto the class digital portfolio for the assessment of learning.
Students will be assessed in a group and individually based on need. Student support will be given for those who need extra help.

Lesson Artifacts
