  • Choose your decodable book – https://www.readinga-z.com/ , username: markpfister, password: rdg322
  • Write your objective based on the standard and final objective
  • Plan subobjectives using manipulatives (especially the blending subobjective).
  • Write the materials on the lesson plan
  • Write script for Opening, Closing, and subobjectives
  • Practice
• Prior to the Teaching and Recording Date:

Teacher Role:

1. Use the lesson planning template to create your lesson plan. (Tips- You can find word lists in the back of the Making Sense of Phonics book.)
   1. Use the Rubric below to conduct a “Self-Check.” Put your initials in each box indicating you have included the components listed.  Revise your lesson as needed to include all components. 
   1. Using Google Docs or email, share your lesson plan with the “Observer” at least two days before the date you set for teaching so the “Observer” can review your lesson. The “Observer” will send you back your lesson after checking the rubric. Make any necessary revisions before the teaching/recording date.  Send the final lesson plan back to the “Observer” so they can take notes during your lesson.
   1. Send any necessary materials to the “Student” at least one day before the date you set for teaching and recording so the student can print/cut any necessary materials (E.g., Print out the attached sound box chart and gather five pennies.) 
   1. Plan to record yourself teaching while on Zoom or another video conference tool.    
   1. Practice using the recording feature before your teaching and recording date.

Observer Role:

1. Look over the lesson plan and Rubric. Use the “Peer Check” column to initial if the lesson plan includes the component.  Make notes in the box if you are unclear or unsure of a lesson component. Email the lesson plan back to the “Teacher” at least one day before the set teaching and recording date so the “Teacher” can make revisions.  

Student Role:

1. Preview any materials that the “Teacher” sends. Print out/prepare, or gather materials as needed.

• During the Lesson:

Teacher Role:

• Have the revised lesson plan and any needed materials ready?
• Announce to the “Student” and the “Observer” when you are going to begin recording.

      (Only the lesson portion needs to be recorded.)

• Must record and teach the Opening, Sub-Objective on Blending and 1 more, and the Closingportions of the lesson as planned.

Student Role:

• Participate in the lesson as a student. 

     Observer Role:

• Use the “Observer Feedback” column of the final lesson plan to take notes while the “Teacher” is presenting the lesson.  (E.g., This portion of the lesson was very clear.  Great transitions. Consider adding another example in the future.) 

• After the Lesson:

     Observer Role:

• Lead a post-conference conversation with the “Teacher.” Facilitate questions like: What went well? What would you change? What did you learn?
• Discuss the notes you took in the “Observer Feedback” section of the lesson plan.  Email the teacher your notes or share in Google Docs.  

     Teacher Role:

• Engage in the reflective conversation with the “Observer.”  Take notes to use in your reflection. 

Student Role:

• You may provide an additional feedback to the “Teacher” as appropriate.

• After the Lesson (At a Later Time):

     Teacher Role:

• Craft a one to two paragraph reflection in the “Reflection” box below the lesson plan.  Describe what went well, what you would change, and what you learned about the skill you were teaching?
• Submit the video link, lesson plan with feedback from the observer, and your reflection.
