TPE 7: Effective Literacy Instructions for All Students
Phonics Lesson Plan
This phonics lesson plan hits TPE 4, showing that I provide literacy instruction that is engaging because of my inclusion of movement and personal connections. It also shows TPE 5: Foundational Skills because I am developing foundational skills, including phonological awareness and spelling. With the fostering of multiple opportunities to speak and engage orally, I also address TPE 7: Language Development by conducting instruction that leverages students current linguistic level to engage.
Literacy Based Math Lesson
This activity connects to TPE 3 as I based the lesson on a culturally diverse topic to acknowledge the diversity of students cultures, while providing a real world experience to connect to. Additionally, the lesson addresses TPE 6: Meaning Making by engaging higher thinking to connect a math concept to a character, by drawing understanding from the text.
Comprehension Planning Checklist
My comprehension planning checklist done for a short story shows my understanding of TPE 9: Content Knowledge because it engages students in printed text as well as discussions and hands-on-explorations.
Unit Lesson Plan
The unit lesson plan encompasses many parts of TPE 7. To begin, it hits TPE 1, as it uses applicable literacy-related standards, integrating them with math and science. TPE 2 is used as it includes structured literacy for students who may need extra support. TPE 8: Effective Expression is shown through the use of sentence frames, as well as other supports for writing. TPE 10 & 11 is is demonstrated through the use of ongoing assessment to monitor students’ literacy development and inform instructional decisions, as well as through ELD support.
