Literary Genres

Having an understanding of
various types of literary texts and genres of literature is crucial in
order to know how to integrate them into English language arts lessons
in an elementary classroom.

Part 1: Matrix

For
this assignment, you will complete the “Literary Genre Matrix” to
describe different types of literary texts and how each can be
implemented in the classroom.

Below are examples of fiction and nonfiction genre.

• Fiction.
  Drama, fable , fairy tale, fantasy, folklore, historical fiction,
  horror, humor, legend, mystery, mythology, poetry, realistic fiction,
  science fiction, short story, tall tale, etc.
• Nonfiction. Biography, essay, narrative nonfiction, speech, etc.

Choose
two examples of fiction genre and two examples of nonfiction genre and
address the following in the “Literary Genre Matrix.”

• Definition of each form of chosen fiction and nonfiction genre.
• Two examples of grade cluster appropriate texts for grades K-2, 3-5, and 6-8.
• Two strategies to integrate each text selected into reading, writing, and listening instruction.
• Two strategies to integrate chosen forms of fiction and nonfiction genre using a technology application.
• Provide the name of the technology.

Part 2: Reflection

In
250-500 words, summarize and reflect on the different literary genre
and how each can be implemented in your future classroom. Explain the
strategies for student comprehension in reading. What strategies do you
use to choose appropriate texts/genres for grade level strands? How does
selecting the appropriate text support a positive attitude toward
reading and comprehension skills?

Support your findings with at least two scholarly resources.

Prepare
this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style
Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not
required.

to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for
successful completion.

Clinical Field Experience B: Student Needs and Instructional Planning

Allocate at least 3 hours to complete this field experience.

Use the “Clinical Field Experience B- ELA Pre-Assessment” template to complete this assignment.

Part 1: Pre-Assessment and Implementation

During
your previous observation in your field experience classroom, you
identified 3-5 students, above, at, or below standard achievement who
would benefit from additional learning support. You also identified the
standards and unit that your mentor class is currently learning.

With
this information, develop a pre-assessment in the English Language Arts
content area using the “ELA Pre-Assessment” template. The
pre-assessment must align with the standards and unit that your mentor
teacher shared with you during Clinical Field Experience A. This
pre-assessment can be oral, written, or completed through technology.
The pre-assessment should identify how well selected students know the
concept, and provide data that would allow you to determine learning
gaps and needs in order to develop an appropriate lesson to support
learning needs.

1. Share the pre-assessment with your mentor teacher and ask for his or her feedback.
2. Administer
   the pre-assessment that you created to the selected group of students
   and use the data to prepare for the lesson plan in Clinical Field
   Experience C.
3. With your mentor teacher, identify a book that
   can be used to create ELA activities appropriate for the identified
   students. You will use this book for your upcoming “Clinical Field
   Experience C: ELA Mini-Lesson Plan” assignment.

Speak with
your mentor teacher and, provided permission, use any remaining time to
seek out opportunities to observe and/or assist your mentor teacher or
another teacher and work with a small group of students on instruction
in the classroom. Your mentor teacher must approve any hours spent
observing another classroom environment.

Part 2: Reflection

In
250-500 words, summarize and reflect on your field experience and the
steps you took to identify students for the pre-assessment. How did the
pre-assessment provide data to determine the learning gaps and needs of
students? What challenges did you face when developing and delivering
the pre-assessment? Explain how you will use your findings in your
future professional practice.

Submit the “ELA Pre-Assessment” and reflection as one deliverable.

APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.
