Evidence 3: Mini-Lesson (ENG 329)

Prompt

You will teach a minimum of three times. You can work this out with your mentor teacher. This may be for a full or partial class period. Please submit your lesson plan to me via email three days in advance of teaching. Then, I can give you some feedback and your mentor teacher can give you some feedback. Remember, your mentor teacher is still held responsible for what you teach—please make him or her a big part of your planning process. These elements need to be in your lesson plan to receive full credit: objective, standard, assessment, hook, I DO, WE DO, THEY DO, closure, and enough detail that a sub could teach your lesson. You may want to ask your mentor teacher for lesson plan templates that have been helpful to him or her. (Standard 8A (Parts of 4 and 5—depending on the lesson)).
