Introduction: Your work in the course of study has helped prepare you for this assessment. For example, you have gained practice in skills related to phonological and phonemic awareness by planning and teaching a lesson to a small group of students on specific skills using a puppet as an anchor for the lesson. You also learned how to assess those students’ phonological and phonemic awareness skills. In addition, you analyzed children’s books and stories to determine how appropriate they were for a diverse student body within a specific grade level. Consider the elements of a quality narrative text as you select your book, making sure that it would pass the evaluation from the form you created in your Course of Study Task 7. Task: A. Contact the specific school staff member, teacher, or administrator at the location of your school placement who supervises your pre-clinical experience (PCE); arrange to teach one of the three reading/literacy lessons you will create to a small group of about 6–10 students in a kindergarten, first, second, or third grade classroom. You will need to meet with the classroom teacher beforehand to determine the focus of this lesson (see specific skills below in part D). If you have not yet received confirmation of your PCE placement, contact your mentor before proceeding with this task. B. The classroom teacher must observe your instruction and sign the appropriate `PCE Summary Task List` that can be found in the attachments section of this task. C. Choose a children’s book that is appropriate for a specific grade level (kindergarten, first, second, or third grade), taking into consideration the specific needs, interests, and reading levels of the students in the class. 1. Justify (suggested length of 1–2 pages) why the children’s book you selected is appropriate for the lesson being taught. D. Using the book you selected as an anchor, design three lesson plans (using the attached Lesson Plan Format”) to teach the following reading/literacy skills for a specific grade level, kindergarten, first, second, or third grade: 1. Word recognition, phonics, or concepts of print (your choice) 2. Phonological or phonemic awareness (your choice) 3. Oral reading fluency Note: If your state does not have oral reading fluency standards for the grade level you have chosen, you may select to design a lesson plan on vocabulary or comprehension skills. E. Incorporate a technology component into the lesson plan for the lesson you will teach. F. After your teaching experience, write responses to the prompts (suggested length of 1–2 paragraphs per prompt) using the Guided Reflection Protocol Form. To access the form, follow these instructions: • Click the Complete Form button that appears in the bar below this task. • Answer the questions in the form. If you need additional space, include an attachment with your response. G. If you use sources, include all in-text citations and references in APA format
