Adrianna Nickel Professor K. McLean ECS 4623- Identifying and Serving the At-Risk Child Friday, March 6, 2020 Supplemental Five Day Unit Lesson Plan In my supplemental five day unit lesson plan | chose to focus on english language arts and the empty and full concepts. The topic | chose for my english language arts focus was the alphabet. The following is an outline including brief descriptions of what is being done in each lesson. Day One: This lesson is a starting lesson for a unit on the alphabet. This unit can be used at the end of the year for a reminder of all of the alphabet activities and letters learned that year. This lesson will also introduce and discuss the concepts of empty and full Day Two: In this lesson the children will work on a craft where they fill up the top of the coconut tree with letters. This will help them work more hands on with the alphabet and continue to work with the concepts of full and empty. Day Three: This lesson children will get the opportunity to continue to practice their letter knowledge and empty/full knowledge while getting the opportunity to be active. This activity will use large motor muscles. Day Four: In this lesson children will use small motor skills to search through a sensory bin to find letters. Upon finding a letter the child will identify the letter and the letter sound. Day Five: This lesson will be a fun way to conclude the week that was spent on identifying letters of the alphabet and their letter sounds as well as empty/full concepts. In this lesson the children will play ABC Bingo. They will have to identify the letter on their board and put a chip on it filling their board to get a bingo. By the end of the week the children should be able to identify multiple letters and letter sounds. They should also be able to explain and identify the differences between empty and full. They should have an idea as to how they know if something is empty or full as well Rochester University Lesson Plan Template eins Lesson Title Teacher Candidate Name Date Chicka-out Our ABC's Adrianna Nickel This lesson is a starting lesson for a recap unit on the alphabet.

Choose a letter from the pot and tell us all what you got. (pause here to allow for children to say the letter they got) Stir the pot once again, then pass it on to a friend.” 5) Introduce the activity that goes with this poem. The teacher should mode! how they stir the pot while everyone is Saying the first two lines of the poem. Then they should show how to choose a letter and say the letter name they got. Next, while the final two lines are being said the teacher shows how they give the pot one more stir and how they would pass the pot on to their friend. The teacher should also explain that the children should keep the letter that they have to that it is individualized for them and there is no duplicates. Also discuss how the pot is _ full of letters. Explain that full means there is a lot of something taking up lots of space. 6) Have the children rearrange themselves into a circle. This allows for all children to see each other as well as the teacher to see all children. This also allows them to get up and move for a moment which breaks the length of time sitting up into more manageable time chunks. 7) Allow the children to try this activity themselves. The teacher should lead the poem encouraging the children to join in as well. The teacher should also encourage children who are struggling with their letter and give them hints towards the correct answer without giving the answer straight away. 8) Ask the children if the pot is still as full or has as much in it as before. Ask them if the pot would be full or empty if you were to take all of the remaining letters out. (Actually do this as a visual representation). 8) After all the children have tried the activity and the empty/full exercise has been completed have the pot placed in the center of the circle and sing the Alphabet Song and collect letters back from children. ‘Accommodations for Differentiated Instruction All children should be encouraged to complete the activity, | however, here are some situations and differentiation techniques that can be used for the lesson’ 41)If a child does not want to stir the pot and wants to go right to picking a letter allow them to skip this step and just pick a letter. Special Needs Student 2)If a child does not want to pick a letter and just wants to stir the pot allow them to stir the pot and then the child or the teacher can pick a letter and the class can identify the letter together. 3)If a child does not want to stir the pot, pick a letter and say the letter name allow them to pass the pot on. 4)If a child does not want to sing the song they do not have to, If a child is advanced the teacher can also ask them what sound the letter makes or where that letter is in the alphabet: beginning, middle or end.

Instructional Procedures 1) The teacher should start the lesson off by doing alphabet flash cards for identification. The teacher should also tell the letter sounds and have the children repeat the sounds. (The entire alphabet should not be done. The teacher should pick 5-10 cards at a time to do letters and letter sounds with) 2) The teacher should model the activity with the tree and stickers. They should use sentences such as “The tree is empty so we need to fill it up with letters.” Then model taking a sticker, saying the letter name and the sound that the letter makes. 3) Now itis the children’s turn to try the activity. 4) They should be encouraged to identify the letter name and sound (if they remember, the teacher can help with letter sounds) and then put them on the tree. 5) Once the stickers are on the tree the children can color the tree if they would like to. 6) After they are completed, ask the children if their tree is empty or full.
