This work of ESE 697 Week 2 Discussion Question 2 Designing a Mini-Lesson in Phonics or Oral Language shows the solutions to the following points:

Create a mini-lesson in phonics or oral language to teach a small group of students (group description below) using an evidence-based strategy from the textbook. Plan a 15- to 20-minute mini-lesson that addresses the needs of all four students in the group through effective strategies and accommodations for the learners. Respond briefly to the two reflection questions (in the template) about your lesson. Use this mini-lesson template to develop your mini-lesson, and then copy and paste it into the discussion forum to obtain feedback from your peers.

Small group description:

There are four students in this group who are in kindergarten. One of the students is autistic, one student has an intellectual disability, and two are students with ADHD. All four students are reading at the pre-Kindergarten level.

Guided Response: Please respond to two of your classmates by providing feedback on their mini-lesson in at least two of the four following areas:

a. Is the objective of the mini-lesson clear, and is the activity clearly aligned to Common Core State Standards? What are your suggestions in this area?

b. Does the strategy used in this mini-lesson effectively teach the concepts to be learned? Do you have suggestions for any alternative strategies?

c. What further accommodations or modifications would you use in this lesson and why?

d. Do you have any suggestions for using assistive technology in this mini-lesson to assist the learner in accessing the content or environment?
