education mini lesson
Paper instructions:
(1) Create a mini-lesson (15-30 minutes) to address each of the following areas related to literacy development:
(a) Monday: Oral language and Vocabulary
(b) Tuesday: Phonics, word patterns, and word analysis
(c) Wednesday: Fluency
(d) Thursday: Reading Comprehension
(e) Friday: Writing
(2) Each day’s mini-lesson should address an evaluation of learning that is objective and measurable, and directly assesses the students’ achievement of the targeted academic standards. Every lesson should have the following structure at a minimum: objective (linked to academic standards), materials (include copies of all materials to teach lesson), procedure (a step-by-step description of the lesson from beginning to end), and assessment (a concrete, measurable way to assess the objective).
(3) Each mini-lesson should be a piece of the larger whole, not individual or unconnected lessons. That is, lessons later in the week should build on lessons from earlier in the week, and they should all reinforce and integrate skills from the prior lessons in the weekly sequence.
