Literacy Activity Implementation

Part 1: Implementation

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.

Part 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.

Part 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.

APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.
