Teaching Methods-

1. Lesson Introduction-
I chose this lesson Plan because there is the opportunity to allow
all of my students to function on their individual reading levels
while also being challenged. The students will act out� a short story
chosen from several choices that we will review together in the days
leading up to the lesson. The stronger readers will be given the longer
speaking parts while the lower level readers will be given shorter
parts. We will read the story together and discuss reading comprehension
before we practice the dramatic elements of the lesson. The students
will be assessed on participation, comprehension, and reading fluency. |

6. Assessment-
There will be continual monitoring and constructive feedback throughout
the lesson. |

7. Lesson Closure-
The final portion of the lesson will consist of a 'performance'
given to the rest of the class. |

|
Measuring Student Progress-
|
The students will be assessed informally through observation as
well as by their participation in the reading and discussion portion
of the lesson. During the final reading, one teacher will assess reading
fluency while the other assesses how the students interact with each
other and how they perform their given parts. |
