Artifact #10: Literacy Lesson Plan - Sequencing.

The final artifact is the Literacy lesson plan focusing on sequencing. This grade two

lesson plan focuses on using the five finger retell model to retell a story read aloud to the

students in the class. In this lesson I have shown my abilities to plan differentiated instruction

and accommodate any IEPs and other needs in the class. I have made sure to add in personal

choice in the lesson for the students to challenge themselves if they wish.
