Formal Evaluation
Broken Teleprompter (Fill in the blank) activity
Informal Evaluation
Observation. Q&A.
Differentiation
The teleprompter can be edited to leave any words
blank. Therefore, high frequency words can be chosen
based upon difficulty for specific students. An easier
version can be made with some missing letters instead
of an absent word.

The student will be able to select appropriate high

frequency words to fill in the blanks in provided
sentences during the broken teleprompter activity.
The student will be able to choose the correct words
with 90% accuracy.

Self-reflection
What
worked?
What would
you
change?

Lesson took about 25 minutes total. Only 10-15 for each

group.
Overall, it was a bit easy for them. Theyve been reading
the news story for a while now and knew the words with
no trouble. The second group read together well, first
group not so much. This would have worked better as
the whole class projected onto the screen. This was the
intention, but with Ms. Bombich being out I did not have
access to the computer/projector.
