Various strategies can be used to engage students in the writing process, including questioning to activate students’ prior knowledge and higher-order thinking. Engaging students in taking ownership of their writing requires a great deal of creativity to involve students in the writing process.

In preparing the lesson plan, include the following:

Questioning strategies that activates student’s prior knowledge and higher-order thinking in writing and engages them in the learning process

Strategies to creatively engage students with various forms of writing, the writing process, and to expand students communication

Part 2: Reflection

In 250-500 words, rationalize your instructional choices specific to the activity and aligning strategies. Be sure to address how your completed lesson plan is appropriate to meet the diverse needs of the “Class Profile” students and clearly focuses on creativity and student engagement.

Support your reflection with at least two scholarly resources.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

Clinical Field Experience B: Student Needs and Instructional Planning

Part 1: Pre-Assessment and Implementation

During your previous observation in your field experience classroom, you identified 3-5 students, above, at, or below standard achievement who would benefit from additional learning support. You also identified the standards and unit that your mentor class is currently learning.

With this information, develop a pre-assessment in the English Language Arts content area using the “ELA Pre-Assessment” template. The pre-assessment must align with the standards and unit that your mentor teacher shared with you during Clinical Field Experience A. This pre-assessment can be oral, written, or completed through technology. The pre-assessment should identify how well selected students know the concept, and provide data that would allow you to determine learning gaps and needs in order to develop an appropriate lesson to support learning needs.

Share the pre-assessment with your mentor teacher and ask for his or her feedback.

Administer the pre-assessment that you created to the selected group of students and use the data to prepare for the lesson plan in Clinical Field Experience C.

With your mentor teacher, identify a book that can be used to create ELA activities appropriate for the identified students. You will use this book for your upcoming “Clinical Field Experience C: ELA Mini-Lesson Plan” assignment.

Speak with your mentor teacher and, provided permission, use any remaining time to seek out opportunities to observe and/or assist your mentor teacher or another teacher and work with a small group of students on instruction in the classroom. Your mentor teacher must approve any hours spent observing another classroom environment.

Part 2: Reflection

In 250-500 words, summarize and reflect on your field experience and the steps you took to identify students for the pre-assessment. How did the pre-assessment provide data to determine the learning gaps and needs of students? What challenges did you face when developing and delivering the pre-assessment? Explain how you will use your findings in your future professional practice.

Submit the “ELA Pre-Assessment” and reflection as one deliverable.

APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.
