Introduction/Launch
How will you commence the lesson? What will you do to engage the students at the beginning of the lesson? What is your ‘hook’? What is your anticipatory set? I will call students on the carpet area. In the previous lesson, students were introduced with the strategies good readers use to retell a story as they were taught about story elements. To activate students’ prior knowledge, I will ask the following questions –
What do good readers do retell a story?
What are the three parts in a story?
What do they talk about?
I will begin the lesson by going over the essential question: How do good readers retell a story by sequencing? To assess students’ understanding of the lesson content, I will ask them to answer a question, …show more content…

To ensure students seized the lesson content, I will introduce the sequencing flow map. I will then ask students to think about the sequence of events of the book “Stellaluna” that they read at the beginning of the unit. I will select five volunteers to present beginning, middle, and end of the story. I will record students’ response on the flow map and will teach students to determine the proper sequencing of sentences to retell the story. I will read aloud all five sentences and will give the students a brief moment to turn and talk about the sentence order. The direction for the turn and talk will remain the same throughout the lesson. After students have been given sufficient time to engage in discourse regarding the sequencing of Stellaluna, I will select volunteers to discuss which sentences they believe should be placed on the Stellaluna story map. After discussion, I will write the sentences on the story map. I will remind students to pay attention to the sequencing as they will have to complete a graphic organizer referencing major events of the story. I will introduce the book “Stellaluna” and will review benchmark vocabulary such as – “Clutched”, “Trembling," “Embarrassing”, and “Clumsy” using the vocabulary strips that will assist them to complete the graphic organizer. Students will be back on their seats As they work with their partners I will circulate to assess their …show more content…

Formative assessment will be applied for this lesson to screen student learning. Students will be going through informal assessment during the launch and mini-lesson phase as they will be expected to engage in dissertation as a class and in pairs regarding how to describe sequence of events to retell a story. They will also be informally assessed based on their ability to recall prior knowledge at the beginning of lesson and their ability to identify major events from the story Stellaluna. Students will be formally assessed through the sequencing graphic organizer. They will be expected to be able to write complete sentences using the proper conventions of English and to validate the sequence sentences using specific details from the story.

In the short story "Clover" by Billy Lombardo, Graham made a plethora of actions towards the students, and toward other educators comments, and the author made a great deal of unique characteristics in the classroom. The author amplified the believability of the story by telling the students about his house, and how it is going which was stated in paragraph six. He also accurately brought the connections, and happy interactions in paragraph four, that were explaining how that the students, and Mr. Graham have already discussed the subject. The author shows that Mr. Graham has picked up on recurring events, such as how the girls meet in paragraph two.

Figure 1 is a summary of the students’ learning throughout the learning segment. I administrated this test as a pre-assessment prior to the lesson one and administered it again after the completion of lesson 3. This test is a compilation of students’ learning and it demonstration how they met the standards and objectives that were set out for them to achieve. The evaluation criteria in which this assessment and all other assessment in the individual lessons did was not altered. Even though the students have different learning needs, the assessment met all of the needs for all learners.

Initially, the assessment task had required revision to ensure that it had remained clear for students, by the inclusion of details such as the date for this task and the allocated time to be taken. It was also suggested from our peers that the assessment could be revised by excluding the fakebook notes from the assessment criteria, as it is already implied that they use this information to support their interpretations. A point of useful feedback received was the inclusion of success criteria for our extended response, which we shall implement as we agree it will strengthen student’s responses. It also had been pointed out that our timing needed reviewing, for example our “Kahoot” activity even though receiving positive critique, it was suggested that more time could be allocated to it or even to shift this mini quiz to the end. However, after though, it was decided to keep it at the beginning as it proved to be most beneficial in this instance in recapping prior knowledge.

In the Roman Empire there were tiers to their society, the equestrian class sometimes called “knights” in modern times was the second tier, after the senators (Lendering).

The key ideas in this strategy is to have the students act out an event in each section (beginning middle and end) of the book out. This shows the students that more then one this can happen at the beginning of the story but it still is I the beginning. This also gets the students involved in what they just sequenced and it a way to get them up and moving. This strategy guides the learner because they have already identified what belongs in each section of the story. It also helps the learner because they work in teams and can come up with an action for the beginning, middle or end of the story by working as a team.

The teacher will have the students either read or listen to a story and then dividing the story into four major and somewhat simplified story grammar categories: setting, problem, events, and resolution. A teacher can use pictures with this strategy to retell the story as remembered from listening or reading. It is important to remember to use prompts such as: “A little while ago, we read…” This strategy involves students reconstructing the complete story structure in a holistic, sequenced, and organized way. It helps students break the story into different parts so it is easier to remember the main

The students were highly engaged. I could say that the concepts to be learn were explicitly linked to ELLs’ background experience and past learning. I listened to the teacher’s speech and voice projection, it was appropriate (not too slow, not too fast), and she emphasized the importance of being respectful/active listeners. She ensured that each students had sufficient time to respond to her questions, and clarify if a student seemed confused (regarding the objectives). As the students did the group work, Mrs. Carbone foster noticing.

Bock (2006) uses Labov’s narrative structure and follows Gee in dividing the narratives into stanzas. This is a hybrid of analysis and Bock believes it is very effective and convincing since Labov’s narrative structure allows her to identify the framework of the narrative in order to dig out the notion of evaluation and in the same time, Gee’s structuring the narrative by grouping it into lines, stanzas and parts allows her to highlights the overarching narrative as well as the mini-narrative under the big umbrella of the narrative itself. Apart from that, through the story from Bock, Toolan (2006) believes story has no time constraint; it can be re-opened anytime by the speaker differently with the fact amended or
