    Plans and Teaching Lessons

    • In
      each of the four areas and using literacy assessments available in
      the classroom, administer a pre-test to one student in your
      practicum classroom.

    • After
      you have administered the pre-test, confer with the mentor teacher
      and prepare lesson plans to address the four areas of literacy
      development. These lessons should be based on the direct
      instruction model. The lessons should reflect the areas of need
      identified through the data analysis collected from the pre-test.

    • Teach
      the lessons to the one student you assessed previously.

    • Administer
      assessments as a post-test to the same student. Analyze the data to
      see if learning has improved from the pre-test to the post-test.
