What This Document Is
This document is a review of a 2nd-grade English Language Arts lesson plan, alongside a review of a lesson plan created by a student (Dananiquie M. Anderson) for Clinical Field Experience B within Grand Canyon University’s ELM-480 course, Methods and Strategies for Teaching English Language Arts. It details observations made during a classroom visit and feedback received on a student-created lesson plan.
Why This Document Matters
This review is primarily for ELM-480 students completing their clinical field experience. It serves as a record of observation, reflection, and formative assessment. It’s used to demonstrate understanding of lesson plan components and classroom implementation strategies, and to receive feedback from a cooperating teacher. This assignment is likely part of a larger portfolio demonstrating teaching readiness.
Common Limitations or Challenges
This document represents a single observation and review. It doesn’t offer a comprehensive guide to lesson planning or teaching methodologies. It’s specific to a 2nd-grade ELA context and may not generalize to other grade levels or subject areas.
What This Document Provides
The full document includes: a detailed narrative of a classroom observation focusing on a lesson using the book “Gooney Bird Greene”; specific examples of teacher engagement strategies (like the “Clean Up Song” and questioning techniques); a record of feedback received on a student-created lesson plan, specifically regarding learning objectives and vocabulary instruction; and a date of completion (July 11, 2021). This preview does *not* include the full student lesson plan, nor does it provide a detailed analysis of ELA strands beyond what is mentioned in the observation.
