See attached files for the assignment and rubric. The assignment should be based on a prek class ages 4 and 5.

Due Date: 11:59 pm EST day of Unit 3 Points: 20 Overview: You will begin working on the initial steps of a Learning Experience Plan (LEP) designed to help children achieve identified outcomes. If you are doing the “Re gular ” version of th is course in a n approved cl assroom setting, you will work with your Cooperating Teacher to determine an appropriate lesson. You will continue working on the LE P in Units 4 and 6 . If you are doing the simulated version, you will not be impleme nting the lesson, but you do need to create the LEP. In Part 1 of this multi -part assignment, you will begin planning the LEP by providing basic information about the lesson and learners, identifying the early learning standards and objectives of the lesson, and selecting the lesson materials. These elements will be filled into the provided LEP Template. There are many different LEP formats. Some schools/centers use a standard format with variations for different age levels. It is also common for schools/centers to use templates that have been designed to be used with specific commercial curriculum. Common ly, LEP templates are electronic documents that can be easily modified, printed, shared and saved. The LEP Template you will be using in this course will also be used in many of your future CHS courses. Instructions: 1. Review the Sample LEP: Guided Steps , LEP Template, and the LEP Components Overview. 2. In consultation with your Cooperating Teacher, select a book to use for the lesson. 3. Using the LEP Template, fill in Part 1 items a -d and 1 -4 a) Title of the Lesson. b) Number of Children in Group. c) Children’s Age Group. d) Length of Lesson. 1) Early Learning Standards (three standards). (Use the Connecticut Early Learning Development Standards, CT ELDS, unless your own state standards include all the components that are req uired for this assignment.) 2) Key Objectives (three objectives). 3) Materials CHS199 – Practicum 1 Unit 3 Learning Experience Plan Part 1 4) Vocabulary (five words). NOTE: you will complete Part 2 steps 5 -8 of the LEP Template in Unit 4. Regular Version On ly: 4. Review the LEP with your Cooperating Teacher and revise as needed. 5. Sign and obtain the signature of your Cooperating Teacher. 6. Submit your completed LEP Template to the Assignment link in Unit 3. Be sure to read the criteria below by which your work will be evaluated before you write and again after you write.
