Due Date: Tuesday @ 11:55 pm

1. Discussion Forum - 20 points
2. Differentiated Lesson Plan 1 - 100 points

The pre-service teacher/candidate will participate in pre-planning meetings mirroring those of grade level planning meetings to plan for the implementation of research-based practices in the major components of reading including differentiating instruction for all students in the Discussion Forum under Day 2. Please review the articles in the “Handouts” section and the video from the Teaching Channel in the “Bookmarks” section.

The pre-service teacher/candidate will write a Differentiated Lesson Plan 1, using the FSC lesson plan template, and implement research based practices for differentiated instruction and the major components of reading, recognizing how characteristics of both language and cognitive development impact reading proficiency and the characteristics of proficient readers to more effectively differentiate instruction. He/she will implement the plan in a classroom setting, videotaping themselves and completing a self-evaluation. Address the following in the lesson plan or in an attached appendix to the plan:

• Choose appropriate differentiated learning experiences for ALL students
• Use individual student data to differentiate instruction
• Include instructional methods for developing reading fluency
• Implement research-based practices when teaching any of the major components of reading
• Be sure the assessments are appropriate and match the objectives.
