Child: JC Tutor: Kim Jacobs Date: 2/19/2019 Content Area: VA Studies Lesson #: 2 of 6 in sequence
Unit EQ: What are the characteristics of a strong woman?

Objective: Provide a statement of what students will be able to do AS A RESULT of (rather than AS PART OF) this lesson.
Jessica will be able to list the characteristics that make Pocahontas a strong woman.
Lesson Assmt: Describe how you will collect evidence that individual students have indeed met the lesson objective:
Jessica will list the characteristics Pocahontas has with examples.

• What modifications to this plan have been made to accommodate the diverse needs of the student (see http://education.msu.edu/te/elementary/pdf/Designing-Lessons-for-Diverse-
Learners.pdf for additional ideas)?

Jessica has a difficult time with attention. The reading part of the lesson was chunked into three different parts to help accommodate for this and to increase comprehension. The
post it notes that we used had the character traits already printed on them. Jessica is slow to write and this would take more time away from reading.




• List any additional anecdotal student notes for consideration prior to professor review of this lesson.

Justification statement: Jessica’s initial assessment showed her to be reading on guided reading level O – 3rd grade level. Her word study assessment placed her in the within word stage
working on r-controlled vowels. After the first word study lesson it was also apparent that she struggled with homophones. An explicit lesson on homophones will help clear up any
issues she has with this. Jessica’s fluency rate is on target, however she often has to remind herself to slow down to aide in her comprehension. She acknowledged this in her interview.

You will provide a justification statement explaining WHY you are doing WHAT is written in the instructional plan. As we read your justifications, we are looking for a clear statement that
synthesizes how your “instructional WHATs” connect in a cohesive way to your “WHY.” In particular, we want a justification statement that is informed by on-going student outcomes and
reflects your role in RTI by way of the progress-monitoring-to-responsive-teaching cycle. Considerations may include:

Student Outcomes: Teacher Reflection:
Initial assessment Self-reflection
Progress monitoring (specify) Peer reflection
Anecdotal notes Feedback from supervisor
