Part 1: Strategies.
Fiona has a problem with her reading and math. One of the strategies adopted to facilitate learning for Fiona is mnemonic devices. The use of pneumonic devices will help Fiona, especially with her word problems. Figuring out word problems is the first step for Fiona to allow her to gain comprehension of what is required. Guided practice for the first few days has to be provided from Fiona to teach her how to use the mnemonic device on their own. Additionally, the motivation of students in their learning is important. Fiona, through the use of concrete -representational-abstract strategy, will be motivated to learn.
Part 2: Unit plan Instructional and sequencing
Materials for learning in this strategy should be arranged in such a way that it is easy to move from one level to the next. Fiona is to be guided through the learning by the educator. The first step is for Fiona to learn how to comprehend word problems followed by more complex calculations.
Unit plan AAC and Assistive technology.
The use of mnemonic devices for Fiona is recommended. Mnemonic devices generally help students with learning especially in word problems. Learning should be done through the use of examples by the educator.
Unit plan assessment
Assessment of the progress of Fiona should be determined frequently. Different representations of problems should be presented to her. Fiona solving the problems shows good progress while problems indicate that the lesson plan may be ineffective. The problems should be structured differently to increase the scope of learning.
Unit plan ELA integration.
The integration of strategies to integrate ELA implies that learning should be done in three phases i.e., a lesson, guided independent practice, and reflection. ELA strategies encourage independent learning.
Home connection
Parents have a role to play in the learning process of their children. The incorporation of homework in Fiona’s plan indicates that parents have to help her solve the problems where they arise. The parents of Fiona are on the same page with the educators on helping Fiona with her math problem. The parents are encouraged to teach her new vocabulary.
