Audience: 7th grade ELA students

Instructional Problem: Students have learned how to use citations as well as citing evidence

directly from a text to support their answer. However, students have had a hard time

understanding the differences between summarizing, paraphrasing, and direct quoting. Also the

process of incorporating it within writing has proven to be a struggle for many students.

Instructional Model: The instructional model that is being used in the lesson is the ADDIE

model.

During the initial lesson plan, we were able to analyze student samples that consisted of textual

evidence. The evidence was being used in an informational essay. We noticed that several

students were “paraphrasing” information but instead was giving a summary from the text. Other

students were using evidence that were surrounded by quotations that indicated a quote from the

text, but they were not directly quoting the information but instead paraphrased. At this point we

were able to conclude that the main objectives of the instructional plan would consist of students

being able to differentiate the differences between summarizing, paraphrasing, and direct

quoting. In the re-designed lesson, students should also be able to construct an effective
summary, paraphrased information, and a direct quotation. In order to achieve this instructional

goal, I decided to create visual resources that would serve as an aid for students in differentiating

each writing strategy. The client will use these resources, not only as a guide, but also during

instructional modeling to help students familiarize themselves with each strategy. After the

client has concluded their delivery of the lesson, modeling, and review the content, students will

complete a summative assessment over constructing and identifying each strategy.

One method that will be used to assess the lesson is by having students read a short

paragraph then practice all three writing strategies using that paragraph. They will have to

summarize it, paraphrase it, and select a portion from the paragraph to demonstrate their

knowledge of directly quoting. This assessment after the lesson will let the client know whether

or not students have a clear understanding from the content that was delivered.

The artifacts that I developed for this instructional lesson are extremely helpful, and they

will also be very useful for students in the classroom. Each artifact contains informative

information that directly explains each writing strategy. I do feel that it is important to utilize

graphics and posters in the classroom because students are more likely to remember the visual

aspects as well as information that is presented as a combination together. With the assortment of

colors, shapes, designs and content all working together, students with have the eye-catching

design engraved in their cognitive memory. With that being said, I made sure that I incorporated

these elements as well.

My instructional plan addresses standard five of the ACRL Visual and Literacy

Competency Standards. This standard that’s that students who are visually literate are able to use

images and other materials of visual media effectively. Within the plan, I created two artifacts

that the client used in modeling so the students could see how to utilize it as well, but they were
also uploaded into each student’s Google platform. This provided them unlimited access to the

instructional resources that they would use to support their learning.

The only challenge that I have to face while constructing the instructional plan for my

client was communication. Since my client and I teach in two separate grades, our planning

schedules and time outside of teaching never lined up as much as I would have hoped. With that

being said, we had to complete a lot of our discussion for the assignment through text message

after our initial face-to- face discussion over the plan. However, I was able to complete the task

successfully, and she was able to successfully use the instructional materials for her students.
