Shown below are screenshots from some lessons that I have written throughout my teacher training. Each lesson I write always begins with the Colorado Academic Standards. It is most important to me that the standard is being thought of at the forefront of my lesson planning. If the standard is not at the core of the lesson, a lesson can lose its authenticity and practicality.

Writing poetry is not an easy task!
I taught this lesson during my Step Two phase in the Fall of 2022. Students learned how to write cinquains, which has a strict form that requires a specific number of words. Students apply figurative language and beautiful words (literacy) to this style of poem while also connecting to mathematical skills by ensuring their poem has the correct number of words.
*This is a poem written by ME, Donja Hill, for this lesson! Oooh, aaaah!
New Vocabulary
This is a worksheet created by me as a supplement to Practicum, Lesson 3. This activity required students to sift through an online thesaurus and find matching words in order to uncover a hidden message. (Sh this is a secret)... don't be confused, that's what the hidden message is!
This activity ties well with strengthening students literacy skills. To know a word is to know words that are similar. Finding synonyms for new vocabulary helped students to better understand what their new vocabulary meant. Although this does not tap into mathematic skills, it does require students to use a resource that they can use in any content area and in real life!

Knowledge of the content
Apart from having a passion for literature for most of my life, I have also grown incredibly competent in the material throughout my degree.
These are some essays I have written in academic settings that show my high level of content knowledge and appreciation. In these essays you will see a deep analysis of literature along with evidence that I am very knowledgeable in the explicit and implicit functions of literature.
Inquiry, appropriate evidence-based practices
These photos are taken from my lesson plans written during the Fall of 2023. They show my ability to scaffold the content for accessibility to all levels of students.
