SPCE 376 Literacy Assessment

DP3, , , ,

Description

For this assignment, we were required to assess a student in your practicum placement on the five different pillars of reading- phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and reading comprehension. It was our job to create an assessment, that was an appropriate measure, based on the students academic and grade level needs.

Rationale

I chose to ties this artifact in to InTASC 6. The reason I picked InTASC 6 was because it is a ·  formal tests for the classroom. It is also the carbon copy of a work sample that the student filled out. The assessment itself asks questions a a variety of different ways, testing the students’ abilities. It is a blank copy of the assessment that is, given to the school and is kept as a record for student and parent conferences.

SPCE 361 Halloween 5 Senses Lesson Plan

DP3, , , , ,

Description

My middle school students, were learning about their five senses, and how to use their five senses, in order to write essays- while using imagery. The focus of this lesson, the object itself, was a pumpkin. We then described the pumpkin in class using our five senses. This lesson we took it a step farther, the students started writing  a story/paragraph, about the pumpkin. But first, we need to discussed how to write sentences using imagery—and the difference between sentences with good imagery, and sentences that do not. Imagery allows us to experience something/ see something that is not right in front of us—it uses specific details that make us feel like we expericenced it.

Rationale

I chose to link this artifact  to InTASC 4 (2011)-DP3. The reason for this was because it was a lesson plan that correlate with state curriculum and showed the goals and objectives of the lesson. This specific lesson from a unit plan that was  built and designed around a central question, which is– how do we incorporate imagery into our essays.
