ECE 340 Topic 4 Assignment Clinical Field Experience B: Phonics Mini-Lesson
Allocate at least 2 hours in the field to support this field experience.
The philosophy of phonics can best be understood by developing a lesson plan that is rooted in the phonics approach. Even if your practicum/field experience school does not subscribe to the phonics approach, it is beneficial to research the approach in order to add more literacy tools to your toolbox.
Using the “Phonics Mini-Lesson Template,” create a small group phonics standards-based mini-lesson for your field experience grade level (Birth-K). Your mini-lesson should include a state standard related to phonics appropriate for your field experience grade level, an aligned objective, a pre-assessment, a relevant learning activity, and a post-assessment.
Review your lesson plan with your mentor teacher and arrange to implement it with a small group in the classroom. Discuss with your mentor teacher the design of your lesson, and include feedback for improvements.
Use any remaining field experience hours to Help the teacher in providing instruction and support to the class.
Write a 250-500 word evaluative reflection on your experience. Discuss the feedback received from your mentor teacher and how you revised your lesson plan based on the feedback. Discuss whether individual student needs were met, and reflect upon the effectiveness of the lesson.
APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.
