As a complex area resource teacher I was not able to teach the mapping strategy to students. I chose to work with a colleague who is also a resource teacher. We worked together for a few weeks to construct our word maps and also our memory tables. We received feedback from our coach, Diane Gillam, and made revisions based on the recommendations from our coach. Mandy and I spent 1 week teaching lessons 1-4. Overall, I feel the lesson went well. I followed the script in the word mapping book. It was very helpful to keep the flow of the lesson and helped to ensure I covered all of the key elements. The only adjustment made was we taught the lesson virtually. We needed to make sure we had all the materials prepared and distributed prior to the lesson.
I submitted my video lesson along with my implementation checklist to my coach, Diane Gillam. She provided me with very helpful feedback. The feedback she gave me was when to stick to the order when introducing the morpheme types (prefix, root, suffix). Also, to state a source when having the students look up the meaning to the word for Step S (ie:learnersdictionary.com). The final feedback she gave me I actually caught when I rewatched my video. I misstated the definition of a compound prefix.
