Introduction: This presentation is basically teaching the Reception class with ACARA – English outcomes. This includes the language, literature and literacy outcomes. It has five sequential lesson planning in which the “The very hungry caterpillar” book was integrated learning literacy as well as science and math concepts. At the end of the lesson plan the children can make their own concept book, titled “My activity”. Also, an extra support worker will be needed for students who had special needs like autistic and ESL students. This is needed in order the children can participate in the class activity. What is teaching? As stated by Hattie (Learnline 5) the act of teaching reaches its epitome of success after the lesson has been structured, after the content has been delivered, and after the classroom has been organised. Its success lies after the lesson had been delivered where the students was able to understand, interprets, analyse the subject matter. In contrast, the teacher is willing to accept the failure/success of the teaching if the lesson was not fully understood. Also, the top three influences on student learning in the classroom as follows; feedback, teacher-student relationship and mastery learning. (Learnline). Feedback is important in the classroom, especially which comes from student to the teacher. It is the best way of communicating improvements and enhances the teacher –student relationship. The mastery of learning will be focused in a collaborative environment.
Teaching reading: In the classroom, the teacher should have a systematic explicit instruction. It is a plan that with an organized developmental guideline in a developmental order and systematically incorporates literacy in the classroom settings. As stated, Adams (1990) the three literacy skills such as the knowledge of letter names, phonemic awareness and print awareness are the three predictors of first grade reading success. Thus, it is very critical in the early years to support literacy in order to help the children become literate individuals. Children are taught to read so they can understand what is in the text. It is in the reading instruction that can help the students widens their comprehension by understanding what is in the text. Likewise, the reading instruction enhances children’s abilities to become “good readers”. (Pressley, 2000, p 545). In reading, our goal is to understand and the child must able to decode the words and extract the meaning. The teaching of systematic phonics should be mandatory within a “broad and rich language curriculum. This is where it lies the fundamental development of good reading comprehension. (Independent review of the teaching of early reading by Sir Jim Rose). In comprehension, it is the goal in both reading and listening. This enables the readers to acquire information, experience, communicate effectively and help us attain in educational success. As stated Rathvon (2004, p 156) reading comprehension is the ability to derive meaning from text and it is important in all reading activity.
Furthermore, comprehension is composed of three pedagogical orientations. They are as follows: 1. Comprehension –as-outcome-pedagogy – getting the meaning right 2. Comprehension-as-procedure-pedagogy –doing the right kind of reading 3. Comprehension-as-sensemaking-pedagogy – values, the actual (creative, surprising) –readers make of the text, regardless of “rightness’ (Auckerman, 2008) It is the comprehension-as-sensemaking pedagogy that helps the reader to predict and make an active exploration of the meaning of a word. Additionally, in a Dialogic comprehension-as-sensemaking pedagogy the students will be more engaged in understanding the text even if reading alone
Objectives: The learning of this unit is based on the ACARA –literacy outcomes which cover all the aspects as detailed on the next page. In my lesson planning, the children were taught about text and learning to create and interacting with the others. They were given the chance to interpret, analyse and evaluate the butterfly cycle. It enhances the prior knowledge of the children of the subject matter in relation to the surroundings around us. At the end of the lesson, the children were able to create their own concept story book. Aside, from learning literacy with a new vocabulary word, the story incorporates with the science and math concepts. From science concepts they learn how the butterfly cycle works and other insects in the backyard. Additionally, in the math they learn how to count from 1-10. Age group: Foundation Level – 5-6 yrs. Old – Reception class Outcomes Foundation Level: ACARA - LANGUAGE, LITERACY, LITERATURE ACARA -MATHS ACARA - SCIENCE
Scope of design : This design was based using the 3’As (Lian, ppt), the awareness, autonomy and achievement. This includes the what, why and how are integrated to make a lesson planning, in order to get a better achievement. Also, it's shown in the lesson plans that it uses some of blooms taxonomy information as well as the inclusive model of reading (Bell & McCallum 2007 – Learnline). Brief Description of the Lesson plan: My lesson plan is designed for the reception level. It is composed of five sequential lesson plans that are building up and it is based on the popular book of The Very Hungry Caterpillar. First, the children will be introduced to the meaning of a butterfly cycle and other examples of life cycle. Secondly, the lesson will be learned through common phrases in the story. Thirdly, it will discuss the usage of capital and small letters. Fourthly, the learning of the days of the week. Lastly, it’s the making of a concept book based on the days of the week. Finally, interactive games are incorporated in learning to be fun and engaging. Children will be more adept at using the latest technology. Also, children will still use the print based materials. In addition, it helps the students a chance to explore, create and evaluate the subject matter. This lesson plan encourages the children to have an awareness of the world we live.
Assessment : • The things that are being assessed in this lesson plan are as follows: • -Letter recognition • -Word recognition – includes the decoding the letter sound relationship or words at sight • -Phonics – a vital tool for word recognition • -Comprehension – understanding the written text and knowing the meaning of the written message • -Reading fluency • A follow up review will be given after creating the concept book. This includes question and answer, storytelling, writing and review of the new word they learn. An extension of activity, the teacher might bring a caterpillar to observe the butterfly cycle. • Conclusion: • In conclusion, the lesson planning conforms to the ACARA-literacy, language and literature outcomes. It provides games and activities that make learning more engaging and fun. Also, it helps them to explore with the use of advance technology. Aside, from learning math and science, the child learns our environment.
