EDU 243 Methods of Reading Instruction – Final Project Template
Course outcomes: b, d,e, i, j
We have explored how reading and writing are two sides of the same coin. It is essential that we use them to support each other, and that we help students see the powerful connections.
Your final project asks you to apply what you have learned about various methods of teaching reading and writing as you prepare an integrated reading and writing lesson.
Throughout this course, we have explored how children learn to read and write and how we can provide strategies and opportunities to help them grow and develop as readers and writers. We have also learned about the importance of oral language and background knowledge as they impact our students in these areas.
As a way to coalesce your understanding of how these parts all work together to build reading and writing skills, your final project is to develop an integrated reading and writing lesson with a speaking/listening component.
Guidelines:
1. Select a standard for the lesson.
2. Select a text (read-aloud, chapter or pages from a novel, guided reading text, article, etc)
3. Once you decide what you will be teaching, use the template to plan your lessons.
4. Complete the template thoroughly. When it says “Explain”, be specific and thorough.
5. Write summary explaining how your integrated reading and writing lesson illustrates these key points from the course…
oral language supports reading and writing skills
reading fluency is the bridge to comprehension
background knowledge and vocabulary support reading comprehension skills
writing is a way to process thinking
speaking and listening skills need to be explicitly taught
make connections to resources and content from the course
