1. I am pursuing licensure in EC-12 Special Education. My lesson plan will focus on 5 th Grade Language Arts and Social Studies. 2. The two texts I chose were Studies Weekly “ Looking to the West” and Clestial Railroad, a story about Chinese Railroad workers. I chose these two texts because students are currently learning about the westward expansion in America, and this story gives an inside look into the people, Chinese Immigrants, who contributed to that expansion. Reading this story will allow students to connect what they’ve learned about the Westward Expansion to this story. https://murtaugh.weebly.com/uploads/1/7/9/2/17923605/ the_celestials_railroad_chinese_immigrants.pdf https://www.liveworksheets.com/w/en/social-studies/1747031 §110.7.

This objective encompasses the vocabulary introduction, reading comprehension, and foundational skills components of the lesson plan. It focuses on developing students' vocabulary knowledge, reading comprehension skills, and phonics skills. Warm Up: Activity: "Word Associations" Instructions: 1. Divide the class into small groups. 2. Distribute a set of vocabulary cards related to the story "Celestials' Railroad" to each group. 3. Explain to the students that they have 5 minutes to brainstorm and write down as many words and phrases as they can that they associate with the given vocabulary words. Encourage them to think about the story, its setting, and characters. 4. After 5 minutes, ask each group to share their associations aloud, and write them on the board. 5. Facilitate a class discussion by asking students to explain their associations and how they relate to the story. Example Vocabulary Words: 1. Westward Expansion 2. Central Pacific Railroad 3.
