This is a two-part assignment, for a Reading Education Course that is due within 32 hours!

The subject that I am using is Secondary Social Science (US History). I am too, apply reading strategies across Social Studies curriculum.

1st Part.

Involving families and communities in the classroom learning will improve both student engagement and outcomes. One of the ways that families and communities can be involved in students’ learning is to inform them of the importance of various texts that support literacy development and how they can support learning at home.

Digital Brochure

Create a digital brochure to be introduced at curriculum night to promote literacy in the home as well as a resource for families and the community to inform them of the various texts that will be implemented in the classroom to promote literacy.

Your tri-fold digital brochure should present the process of examining texts, as well as at-home technology tools and digital resources to advance student literacy development.

Your digital brochure should include the following:

· Engaging front cover that identifies the grade level and content area

· The importance of multiple texts to meet the specific needs and abilities of all students

· Two examples of fiction and two examples of non-fiction texts with brief rationales describing the complexity and purpose for each, and how they will be implemented in the content area

· Explanation of how texts are selected through quantitative and qualitative measures

· One example of media and one example of technology, examining how each will creatively support literacy development

· Two resources for families to support literacy development at home, and directions for how families can utilize them.

The brochure should be visually appealing with color, graphic elements, and variations in text.

Support your findings with a minimum of three resources.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

2nd Part.

There is never enough practice for implementing activities. Each time a lesson is taught, a teacher learns something new about effective teaching practices through self-reflection, especially when implementing multiple content areas in one lesson for cross-disciplinary instruction.

Allocate at least 5 hours in the field to support this field experience.

· Step 1.For this field experience, you will deliver the literacy activity you created in Topic 2, or a lesson of your mentor’s choice, to a small group of students that your mentor teacher has selected. Remember to focus on:

· Instructional strategies for literacy development.

· Differentiation, including accommodations to meet the diverse needs of students.

· Creating engagement and promoting discussion.

· Step 2: Mentor Feedback

After your implementation, ask your mentor teacher the following:

· How effectively did I integrate literacy into the activity?

· Were students engaged?

· How effectively did I meet the needs of all students?

· What did I do well and what can I do better?

Use any remaining field experience hours to assist the mentor teacher in providing instruction and support to the class.

· Step 3: Personal Reflection

· How did I integrate literacy in the activity?

· Did students demonstrate the concepts of the activity? How?

· How did I differentiate by using resources and/or technology to make necessary accommodations in the activity?

· What do I feel went well in the class and what might have gone better?

· How did I know if the students met the learning objective of the activity?

· What would my next steps be for my future practice?

Write a reflection of 250-500 words summarizing your implementation experience, mentor’s feedback, and your personal reflection.

***********************************Notes from the observation*************************

I taught a lesson on World War I, for those English as a Second Language Learners (ELL) I used guided notes (see attachment WorldWar1ESOL, for the Special Education Population, I used Graphic Organizers, located in attachment Sedition in World War I***

Students were engaged because I showed a clip of Wonder Woman and compared and contrast the movie to World War 1. The students were engaged because they were able to recall information and experiences from the action movie and compare it to the events during World War 1.

I taught the lesson via zoom.

I’ve also attached the Lesson Plan (see attachment Sedition in World War 1)
