Standard #5: The teacher understands how to connect concepts and use differing perspectives to engage learners in critical thinking, creativity, and collaborative problem solving related to authentic local and global issues.
Rationale: This ILL project was developed for the Content Area Literature course. The ILL consists of several different components, including a lesson plan, an exit slip, and a RAFT assignment. I have also included instructional notes to be followed during the presentation of lesson components. The ILL is designed to demonstrate proficiency in presenting content using several different instructional strategies. My ILL includes a RAFT that provides two writing prompt options, as well as an exit slip that provides two options for response. The goal of the ILL is to encourage creative and collaborative problem-solving opportunities in the presentation of content.
