This collection of nine activity-based English lessons is from the American Samoa Technician Education Readiness Pathway Project (ASTERP). ASTERP aims to adapt the National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded guitar building program to prepare students in American Samoa for entry into technician education programs. The project features unique lesson plans, designed to address gaps in STEM education, that incorporate the skills and knowledge required to pursue technician careers into the guitar building curriculum.

The collection features a lesson plan overview followed by nine lessons centered on the improvement of English writing, speaking, and critical thinking skills. Each lesson plan includes an activity description, learning objectives and standards, materials required, activity procedures, assessment measures, and references if applicable. The lesson plan overview includes objectives, goals, and materials/references, assessments, and a summary of activities.

Although the lessons are part of ASTERP's guitar building program, none of them are specifically related to guitar building and can all be applied to outside contexts. On the completion of these lessons, students will be able to:

Apply oral reading fluency concepts by analyzing grade level passages after repeated miscue analysis readings
Justify orthographic knowledge by studying sample words after understanding their individual spelling stages (Within Word Pattern/Syllables and Affixes/Derivational Relations)
Make/refute claims and cite evidence by using PERSIA after learning about connecting Politics, Economics, Religion, Social, Intellectual, Area with their writing
