RDG 420 Wk 5 – Summative Assessment: Integrated Reading Unit

As an elementary teacher, it will be important for you to design reading units that also integrate other subject areas that students are learning about. Books and technology will naturally become key resources and provide you with opportunities to integrate reading with other subject areas (e.g., mathematics, science, social studies, the arts, physical education, health education). In this assignment, you design an integrated reading unit, including 3 lesson plans, that concentrates on one core book and incorporates appropriate smart technology.

 

Part 1 – Integrated Reading Unit

Select an elementary grade level (K–6).

 

Design a reading unit for your selected elementary grade level that concentrates on a core book or an author, incorporates appropriate technology, and integrates one of the following major subject areas in at least one lesson: mathematics, science, social studies, the arts (visual and performing), physical education, or health education. Be sure to include a reading objective and standard for each of the 3 lessons. At least one lesson must also include an objective and standard from another subject area.

 

Complete the Integrated Reading Unit Template.

 

Part 2 – Reflection

Solicit feedback from a practicing teacher concerning the following areas of your unit: If you are not able to get feedback from a practicing teacher since it is summer, you can self-reflect on your unit.

  • Appropriateness of the unit and book/author for the grade level

  • Appropriateness of the lesson procedures (content and instructional strategies) for the grade level

  • Potential for the students to achieve the objectives and meet the content standards

  • Words of advice for designing and delivering integrated units

 

Note: Consider seeking feedback during the required field experience for this course.

 

After the feedback session, write a 250- to 350-word reflection in which you summarize the teacher feedback you received and describe implications for professional development and growth based on the feedback.

 

Submit your Integrated Reading Unit Template and your reflection.
