UNIT OVERVIEW:
The unit of instruction will be focused on phonemic awareness. The beginning lessons of the unit will focus on the
basic skills of phonemic skills. This will allow students that did not grasp the concept a chance to obtain the skill.
As the lessons progress, they will be on grade level to bring students where they should be performing.
LESSON OVERVIEW:

concept of phonemic awareness. The lesson will reiterate prior knowledge of rhyming
taught in kindergarten. Students will be given a worksheet with 20 items on it. Using
the online Websters Dictionary students will then type in words that they think sound
like the item on the worksheet. Students may use the megaphone option to have the

For this age group and instructional competencies, being taught behaviorism support works well.
This age group responds well to reinforced behavior that this learning theory offers. With
students this young, reinforcement of correct responses influences confidence and motivation to
learn. Since your group of students probably lack parent support and most likely parental
encouragement, it is beneficial for instructors to provide that to improve motivation. This theory
uses instructional cues and target stimuli which also works well with smaller children. It is often
seen that modeling the behavior you would like the student to reproduce a similar response. The
TAT 2 Task 3: Technology Production
lessons include repetition and multiple opportunities for students to achieve correct responses.
The lessons are also built with generalization in mind, which include defining the concepts that
LESSON CREATION
The design process that was used for the lesson plans was Gagnes 9 events of instruction. This
process was chosen because it contains components such as gaining attention that were felt to be
vital for students this age. The behaviorism learning theory works well with this design process
LESSON STRATEGIES
The lesson plans were created using the five major components of learning organized from
Gagnes events of instruction. In the lesson plans there were several learning strategies that were
put into use. Reinforcement for correct responses, as well as repetition of the concept being
introduced. During the learner participation there were multiple opportunities for students to
practice the concept after it was presented to them. Associations were applied when words were
written on the board and the instructor explain how to isolate the phonemes.
