Audience​​: The audience is our tutee.

be able to understand the rule and recognize words that follow the rule. The
students will be able to identify examples and non-examples. The student will be
Condition​​: The student will use the sheet with the rule written down, as well as
their own interpretations of how the words should be spelled as reference for
understanding the concept.
Degree​​: The student must be able to recognize words with silent “k’s” in them.

Prior Academic Knowledge, Conceptions The student must be able to understand that in the English language, there are
and Requisite Skills​​ edTPA1:2 words that have silent letters in them. The students must also understand that there
is a common letter patterning that goes along with the silent letters.
What knowledge, skills, and concepts must
students already know to be successful with
this lesson?

What prior knowledge and/or gaps in
knowledge do ​these ​students have that are
necessary to support the learning of the skills
and concepts for this lesson?
(Refer back to your Contextual Factors and
inventories)
The student has the ability to listen and learn to the best of her abilities by having
an open mind and a hard-working attitude. A gap the student may have is thinking
that the silent letters are actually pronounced in the word and therefore getting
confused with how to say a certain word.
