Task:
Identify the following components for a lesson you might want to teach: (1) intended grade level for instruction; (2) subject area; and (3) learning objective(s). (These components will be included in the essay in B.)
A. Choose at least three instructional resources appropriate to your chosen grade level and subject area to use while teaching your chosen objectives. (At least one resource must be computer-based.)
Note: Resources should be accessible to you to evaluate entirely and in person. Evaluation cannot be completed using a summary obtained from the Internet or elsewhere.
1. For each resource, complete the attached Instructional Materials Evaluation Checklist, evaluating the resource against the checklist criteria. For future reference, add notes to justify your position on each resource.
Note: For each resource, provide a complete citation for easy location and describe the resource in a brief paragraph at the top of the checklist.
B. After completing the evaluation checklists, write an essay (suggested length of 12 pages) in which you:
1. Identify the lesson components you chose (i.e., grade level, subject area, learning objective).
2. Explain why you chose each resource you evaluated in A1. (Be sure to identify each resource you chose.)
3. Explain why each area in the evaluation checklist is important pedagogically. Use several of the specific criteria in each area as examples to show how each area is important pedagogically.
4. Explain why it is important to choose culturally appropriate and linguistically sensitive materials.
5. Explain why you would or would not decide to use each resource in the lesson.
C. When you use sources, include all in-text citations and references in APA format.
Note: When bulleted points are present in the task prompt, the level of detail or support called for in the rubric refers to those bulleted points.
Note: For definitions of terms commonly used in the rubric, see the Rubric Terms web link included in the Evaluation Procedures section.
Note: When using sources to support ideas and elements in a paper or project, the submission MUST include APA formatted in-text citations with a corresponding reference list for any direct quotes or paraphrasing. It is not necessary to list sources that were consulted if they have not been quoted or paraphrased in the text of the paper or project.
Note: No more than a combined total of 30% of a submission can be directly quoted or closely paraphrased from sources, even if cited correctly. For tips on using APA style, please refer to the APA Handout web link included in the General Instructions section.
