ViscardoUPLANLessons1-10

I decided to rewrite my lessons from 1-5 for //The Giver// to incorporate more language and writing instruction. I then wrote lessons 6-10 with language and writing instruction in mind. I did a vocabulary lesson for lesson one. If I was really implementing this lesson, vocabulary instruction would be evident throughout the lesson, but I left it out for time purposes. I also incorporated grammar lessons (adjectives, adverbs, parallel structure), and a code-switching lesson. For relevance, I decided to make the "ceremony" more relevant to students by having them write a personal narrative about a tradition they celebrate. Additionally, throughout my lessons, I attempted to have students make connections to their personal lives. Specifically, in one lesson, students make text-to-self connections. For alignment, I rewrote my objectives using the phrase "Students will... in order to..." I found this helpful to align my objectives to my standards. For scaffolding, I tried to have lessons build off of previous lessons for students. For diversity, I chose to write accommodations/modifications for two specific students. For the first student, "Rachael" is an identified gifted student. I drew inspiration from a student in my field placement at Southern Columbia who is identified gifted. I structured Rachael's differentiated instruction with that student in mind. I have never had experience writing differentiated instruction activities for gifted students, so I found that challenging, but took into consideration my mentor's explanation of her gifted student's differentiation. For my second student, I drew inspiration from a student I had during my practicum at Easton Middle School. This student was also recently released from juvenile detention and has been classified with an emotional disturbance, much like "Kevin." I thought about different accommodations/modifications the student at Easton had and incorporated them into my unit plan. For conventions, I readdressed my assessment and made it more specific to each lesson.
