Oral Language Week 2 Session 2

LESSON PLAN #1 (template provided):

Participants will plan and execute a lesson that incorporates literacy strategies that support both oral language and writing experiences (Chapters/Articles read from weeks 1 and 2) to enhance comprehension. Lesson plan must include:

•  multi-sensory learning strategies in their classrooms

•  the reading of multiple print and digital texts

•  support for ELLs and striving readers in their classrooms

•  systematic explicit instruction (i.e. gradual release of responsibility)

**A minimum of three (3) students’ work based on your Lesson must be uploaded to satisfy this task. Please upload the students’ work into the link with your LESSON Plan.

FORUM DISCUSSION:

1.  Explain how you provide opportunities for student discussion to enhance comprehension, promote motivation and engagement. Describe the oral language and writing experiences you use in your classroom to enhance comprehension

NOTE: You will have the opportunity to communicate with your fellow classmates by utilizing the Discussion Forum. This forum is provided for you and your colleagues to share ideas and experiences. To receive full credit for the discussion, you must post to the discussion board and respond to at least two different participants’ initial posts.

Paragraphs should be thorough and establish that the participant has a complete understanding of the texts, and should demonstrate that the participant has thoroughly considered how the information presented has application in his/her own educational environment.  Please keep in mind all work should be paraphrased from the text. Use exact quotes very sparingly (and cite if used).

To receive full credit for the discussion, you must post to the discussion board and respond to at least two different participants’ initial posts.  Response postings must be academic and thoughtful. They replace classroom discussions and should have substance to them. Please refrain from short responses.
