    This paper reviews an article that discusses two formulas for designing language arts lesson plans: the 3Is (Individualization, Interaction, Integration) and categorizing activities into whole group, small group, pairs, or solo. The 3Is formula helps make lessons enjoyable for students by involving individual meaning-making, collaboration, and authentic communication. Categorizing activities divides lessons appropriately among whole group instruction, small group interactions, partner work, and individual assessments. These formulas align with Common Core standards and help involve students in elementary language arts lessons rather than just lecturing.

    Running Head: LITERATURE REVIEW

    Abstract
    This paper will include a review of the article, New Teachers: Designing Lesson Plans:
    What New Teachers Can Learn from Moffett and Wagner by Lois Weiner. This review
    will summarize two different formulas in which teachers should use when creating lesson
    plans for language arts. These formulas will help teachers in reaching all students and can
    be used in different ways. Lastly, this paper will explain how these methods can be used
    in elementary education.

    The article, New Teachers: Designing Lesson Plans: What New


    Teachers Can Learn from Moffett and Wagner by Lois Weiner explains
    two different formulas that teachers should use when creating lessons,
    specifically for language arts. These two formulas include the 3Is and
    categorizing activities. By using these two methods, teachers will be
    able create lessons that are engaging, fun, and relatable to the students, which is
    essential when delivering a lesson.
    The 3Is formula stands for: Individualization, Interaction, and
    Integration. By using these three methods, teachers are able to make
    lessons enjoyable to students, which in turn creates an environment
    where students can learn. Individualization occurs when students
    create their own meaning of the materials. This can sometimes happen
    whether the teacher plans it or not, because each student is unique
    and will show their understanding in different ways. Interaction is when
    students can collaborate with one another. This is especially important
    today with Common Core that students work together to solve
    problems and find solutions. Integration is the most complex of the 3Is.
    Integration happens when, 1. At some point students should be
    listening, speaking, reading, and writing; 2. The product or process
    should involve authentic communication that taps life outside the
    classroom (Weiner, 1997). Again, this is an important concept when
    looking at Common Core and the listening, speaking, reading, and
    writing standards that are involved in language arts. Lessons should

    not just involve the teacher standing in the front and lecturing, students need to be
    part of the lesson, and by using the 3Is, students can be involved.
    The second method is categorizing activities. This is a process of dividing the
    lessons into whole group, small group, pairs, or solo work. Each of these is important and
    should be used throughout lessons. Whole group takes place when the same material
    needs to be given to the whole class. For instance, when a new concept is being taught or
    instructions are being given. Small group is best used for students to have interactions,
    share their ideas, and clarify what they are thinking. Pairs work well when it comes to
    working on their skills. Another appropriate use for pairs is sharing something that is too
    personal to be communicated to more than one person (Weiner, 1997). Lastly, solo
    activities are best used when assessing a student individual knowledge when it comes to
    the concepts and standards being taught. Each of these methods should be used when
    creating lessons in order for students to learn and grow.
    Reading these formulas, there are many consistencies with the Common Core
    curriculum that is used today. For instance, interaction is a large part of using common
    core just as working in small groups and pairs are important. Through student teaching, I
    learned the importance of working with partners and using Think-Pair-Share. Using the
    two formulas from the article, students in elementary school will be able to be involved in
    their lessons, instead of just listening to the teacher speak.
