Artifact:
Standard 2-Planning and Instruction/Implementation.
In my field experience I demonstrated the ability to develop and
implement lesson plans directly related to curriculum that address the
skill development of different learners. These skills include:
1. Increasing comprehension by listening, following along, and
understanding literature through investigation of particular vocabulary
words. This also includes deepening comprehension by making
connections to the students lives.
2. Increasing speech production by contributing to conversations
with a yes or no, single word answers, and/or extended dialog. This
also includes developing fluency.
3. Written sentence production in the form of vocabulary word
definitions.

-Led by one EAL classroom teacher and three student teachers.
-Student teachers are responsible for activities and general
curriculum

support.
-Curriculum for the summer session is centered on Esperanza
Rising by
by Pam Muoz Ryan.
Purpose of My Activities:
- Introduce students to vocabulary to enhance reading
comprehension.
- Expand students academic vocabulary.
- Develop receptive listening/productive spoken proficiency.

How Activities Were Developed:

I was responsible for creating weekly vocabulary activities using
words chosen by the classroom teacher from the historical novel
Esperanza Rising which was read by students throughout the session. I
had one night to complete my first lesson and was not required to
create a formal lesson plan in advance but did create supporting
materials. The student teachers and classroom teacher spoke
frequently about how to best address individual students needs during
the activity. I developed a full lesson plan for the second activity in
addition to the supporting materials.
