Lesson Plan: English (ELA)
![](local/data/caches/images/scaled/img_00034067_300x300.png)
This resource is from the American Samoa Technician Education Readiness Pathway Project (ASTERP), which 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.
This resource includes a lesson plan overview followed by nine lessons centered on the improvement of English writing, speaking, and critical thinking skills. According to the lesson plan overview, the objectives of these lessons are for students to 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
The lessons are activity based and feature learning objectives, required materials, references, activity procedures, and more. Although they are a part of ASTERP's guitar building program, none of them are specifically related to guitar building and can all be applied to outside contexts. Additional resources from ASTERP's guitar program are available separately.
