Learning Objectives
Pedagogy. In this instance, the students will reflect on how we used scaffolding to learn as we design instruction. Learners get to use their new knowledge in the teaching demonstration. They will use the digital tools that they investigated and chose to meet the Objective: Identify the process of language development and the effects of English language learning for literacy development.
Purpose/Rationale
Instructions
Final Teaching demonstration and Lesson Plan Write Up. Scaffolding! Each class meeting, we will prepare one aspect of your lesson plan for the final lesson plan and teaching demonstration. Now let’s think about each of the assignments you completed. Let’s put the pieces together in a lesson plan, write up and carry out a lesson plan demonstration using the digital books you identified and the strategies you learned. Work smart, not hard!
- Using your digital library choose one of your favorite digital books to teach.
- Reflect on the assigned component of literacy.
- Choose a strategy to implement that you learned from the team’s presentation of the components of literacy.
- You may use the PowerPoint presentation or any of the videos you designed in this final teaching demonstration.
- Identify a book now that you would like to use. Again, you may want to use one of the books from the online digital library that you included in your virtual classroom. This is a great time to join the Montgomery County Library!
- Sign up to practice.
We will explore the parts of a good lesson plan designed for literacy development for a culturally and linguistically diverse classroom using the strategies of SDAIE (Specially Designed Academic Instruction in English).

Rubric/Criteria
Lesson Plan Project Directions: You will be assigned to work with one or two more students for this project. You are to select a topic that you would like to teach the class (your classmates). You may select a topic in any discipline that interests you (math, reading, history, music, art, etc.). You may also select the “age group” that you would like to teach. I encourage you to be creative and use the information that we have learned in class and through your field experience during the semester. You may use handouts, group activities or other visual and tactile materials that you think may help your students better understand the lesson. Regardless of how you go about delivering the lesson plan you must cover the following (which should also be included in your written lesson plan). The lesson plan is the ROAD MAP to your presentation. Use it as a tool to help you plan and organize your thoughts and ideas. A well-written lesson plan is one that can be followed by a teacher by just reading the lesson. This means that it needs to be clear and specific. Below are the components of the lesson plan and the point assigned:
- Goals/Objectives (3) based on the Maryland Career and College Readiness Standards
- Materials (2)
- Introduction (3)
- Direct Instruction (5)
- Practice (3)
- Assessment (2)
- Time allotment (2)
This assignment is 100 points of your total class grade so you are expected to spend considerable time on this assignment. The time that you will have to present will be determined after midterms (this will depend on the number of students in the class). You will lead the class on the day that you are assigned to present so BE ON TIME and ready to present. You will be graded on the following:
Clarity and Organization (10)
- Instruction Delivery (implements multiple intelligences, multiculturalism, etc.) (10)
- Uses basic methods of teaching (proximity, eye-contact, voice, etc.) (10)
- Creativity (visuals, props, technology, etc.) (10)
- Provides practice opportunity for students (10)
- Team collaborates well, and divides work appropriately both in planning and presenting (10)
- Lesson plan (see specific distribution above) (20)
If you wish, you may meet with me before your presentation for comments and feedback.
Partner: _________________________
Date to Present: _________________
During presentations, you must peer-review your classmates’ presentations. This is a very important part of the assignment because you will have to evaluate teaching, creativity and instruction delivery. You will be given participation points for your attendance as well as for completing evaluations. If you do not post your feedback on each lesson plan demonstration, you will lose points from your participation grade.
