iii) Part 3: Identify one area in which the student academically struggles.

(1) Choose one skill you will teach the student using a learning strategy. Note: this strategy must be generalizable and have less than 7 steps. Write a lesson plan following these steps based on Hunter’s model:

(a) Learning objective (make sure you indicate the state and national standard related to this objective).

(b) Pre-requisite skills needed in relation to this objective.

(c) Pre-requisite skills the student currently does/does not have.

(d) Anticipatory set (remember, you want to motivate the student to learn this skill and indicate how learning the skill will facilitate learning in other areas).

(e) Lesson input

(f) Guided practice (remember to always use controlled materials when first introducing a skill)

(g) Independent practice (remember to not allow students to independently practice a skill until it is mastered and there is automaticity).

(2) Implement the lesson plan with the student and provide, in written form, a reflection with regard to effectiveness of the strategies. Also, please include a reflection indicating what you would do the same/different if you were to use this strategy again.

iv) Write a 1400 word essay in which you include information from each of the 3 parts above. Be detailed in the information requested for Parts 1 and 2. For Part 3, reflect on the effectiveness of the strategies you used, and how you would revise the lesson if you were to use these strategies again.

v) Use standard essay format in APA style, including an introduction, conclusion, and title page. An abstract is not required. Cite in-text and in the References section. Attach the original lesson plan and submit your assignment.
