ELM 520 Week 1 Assignment Lesson Summary and Focus
Details:
Using the COE Lesson
Plan Template, you will be developing a lesson plan by completing and
submitting several sections of the template throughout this course. (These
assignments are separate from the Benchmark assessment, which you should also
be working on throughout this course.) As you submit sections and receive
feedback, you may revise previously submitted sections based on that feedback
before submitting the lesson plan again. (Revisions are for coherency only;
they will not affect the scores you received on the initial submissions.)

complete the “National/State Learning Standards” section by selecting a first-
to fifth-grade level and a corresponding “Reading: Informational Text” strand,
cluster, and standard using the “Sample Annotated Excerpt.”
Complete the “Lesson
Summary and Focus” section of the lesson plan. In a few sentences, briefly
summarize your lesson and state its central focus based on the content and
skills you are going to teach.
For the grade level
you are working with, select a corresponding informational text from Appendix B
of the standards and list that text in the “Instructional Materials, Equipment
and Technology” section of the lesson plan. Keep in mind the diverse
backgrounds and needs of your students as listed in the “Class Profile.”
Select a writing,
speaking and listening, or language strand, cluster and standard(s) from Arizona’s College and
Career and Ready Standards that align with your selections.
Complete the
“Classroom and Student Factors” and “Specific Learning Target(s)/Objectives”
sections of the COE Lesson Plan Template.

ELM 520 Week 6 Discussion Question 1
Lillian Katz, a highly
acclaimed expert professor, researcher, and speaker on child education, has
said, “When a teacher tries to teach something to the entire class at the same
time, chances are, one-third of the kids already know it; one-third will get
it, and the remaining third won’t. So two-thirds of the children are wasting
their time.” Why is this often the case? What are some things you will do as a
teacher to help reach all of your students?
ELM 520 Week 6 Discussion Question 2
What makes evaluating
a formative assessment different than evaluating a summative assessment? Give

you will be creating two children’s informational text lesson plans to teach
from three different strands of the Common Core Standards based on the same
informational text selection.
Use your Class Profile
as background information on your students. Utilize an informational text
listed in Appendix B of the Common Core Standards.
Create two formal
lesson plans utilizing the COE Lesson Plan template. Each lesson must include a
combination of instructional strategies that are best suited for the lesson and
the needs of the students. Though it is not necessary to use all six of the
strategies below, each chosen strategy should provide opportunities for all
students to succeed.
1.
Direct instruction
2.
Indirect instruction
3.
Collaborative learning
4.
Experiential learning
5.
Independent study
6.
Interactive
instruction
While the two lesson
plans share a theme, each lesson plan must be completed and submitted as a
separate lesson plan.
Completion of all
assignment elements listed above does not guarantee the University student will
earn the maximum score for each.
