• Think about the learning environment of the classroom.
• Examine the level of engagement of the students and their level of motivation within
the lesson.
After viewing the Literacy Instruction Virtual Field Experience video, analyze the learning

for the lesson. Even with a high level of preparation there are always areas for
improvement. Address the following prompts in this assignment:
• How does the teacher make personal connections and activate prior knowledge?
• How does the routine of the read aloud (read and ask questions) provide a safe
learning environment?
• What strategies did she use to promote literacy and language development?
• Describe at least two specific examples where you felt the teacher demonstrated
success in engaging the students, and explain why.
• Describe at least two suggestions for improvement, and explain why.
• Discuss how this lesson could be modified for delivery in a virtual classroom.
