A paragraph introducing your theme or concept for the entire week.

1. A rationale for your unit that clearly describes the stage of development the students you will be teaching are in.
2. A paragraph describing the work of a theorist whose beliefs help to support the use of this unit within this stage of development.
3. Create five different lesson plans that relate to the chosen theme/concept of your unit. Remember to use the lesson plan template for creating your lessons.
4. At least one of your lesson plans should use a media source such as an audio book, book on video, or an online story (www.storylineonline.net ,www.magickeys.com/books,  http://pbskids.org/lions/stories,  http://storyplace.org/storyplace.asp)
5. Explain how the objectives for your lessons measure concepts discussed in class (phonemic awareness, alphabetic principle, character, setting, plot, theme, etc.).
6. Identify and discuss a different genre of literature for each lesson plan (poetry, nursery rhymes, tactile books multicultural books, picture books, non-fiction books, series books, etc.). Feel free to use some of the literature you included in your weekly discussions if they are appropriate to your theme and stage of development.
7. Create a plan for how you will share the literature that you are using with your students’ families so they can help to support literacy acquisition. You could create a newsletter, plan a family literacy night, or even choose some ideas from the Parent Literacy Presentation you created in Week Three.
