Average Activity Analysis

Plan the activities, commencing with a starter for the whole class to familiarise with the topic and finding what they already know about it. Then following with an introduction of the subject and and activity for the whole class, then asking questions and develop the topic, maybe in small groups, for a longer period of

I try to make the activity as fun as possible in a way that evolves the teachers plan but also suits my teaching style and methods. I usually try to turn all activates whether it be numeracy, literacy or science into a group activity so each child

Another activity that I took part in was bubble painting. This was where I put paint in a tray and added water. Once this was mixed properly I got the children to use a straw and blow through it to make bubbles. Once the bubbles were there a piece of paper was placed over them to create a bubble effect picture. There were two different trays of which one was purple and the other one was orange. This is so that they were able to make their own choice on what colour they wanted to use.

The teacher will have students tell what they already know about the concept. They can then use the Think, Pair, and Share activity. The students will think about their answers to a question, then pair up with other students to share their ideas. They’ll then think and talk about the

The reading of the life of Sally Ride appeared as a very engaging activity to me. While reading, Ms. House would allow simple questions and comments, but knew when to stop them and move on. Her students also seemed to know that when she moved on it was time to be quiet and listen. After reading, the students turned to a partner and discussed the story. This was a great way

I specifically like the ideas on the site that include building sight word vocabulary and the reading racetrack print out so that I can make this a game with my students. I would use these types of activities with my younger struggling students. The letter cube blending phonics activity is also an activity that I would like to incorporate into my tutoring sessions. If I already had a classroom, I would incorporate this into a centers type activity. The fluency topic about paired reading is something that I had not heard of. I think this activity would be an awesome addition to my tutoring sessions that I spoke of earlier. This is an activity that I could collaborate with their parents on so that they could carry this into the home setting. For some of my older students, I would like to incorporate some reading comprehension strategies like the oral recitation lesson. That is an activity that we can use to build on throughout the

Charts: I would teach my students the importance of a bar graph and that it is used to compare years with how much of an item was produced.

After analyzing results, I deviated from my lecture style of teaching and began making the students more accountable for their learning. Visual students interpret information more clearly if it is in color. To expand their learning I encouraged students to use highlighters (to identify key vocabulary) and colored pencils / crayons in their math journals (to draw diagrams). Students were also encouraged to draw pictures of a story to show their comprehension of reading material. In addition, I planned more visual games to help students with reading and mathematics. Students participated in review jeopardy, jigsaw activities and used white boards to write timed group responses to answer questions. As a result student engagement increased and behavior significantly improved among

Two or three mini-lesson ideas I have for beginning the year are that I have not implemented with teachers/students before are:

For the majority of these classes, I must rely on my own assessments to measure my effectiveness. Using the TI-Navigator system, I formatively assess students by sending questions to solve throughout the period. I then determine whether to address the entire class or to work one on one with a student. Often students mimic the mathematical process, but have little understanding of “why” so I assign writing journals to encourage mathematical thinking. Reading the journal provides me insight into the student’s understanding, their decision making, and any misconceptions they may have to guide my future lessons. Within my classroom, I integrate a variety of hands-on activities that expand my students’ understanding of mathematics: dressing as a zombie to model exponential growth, performing “Function Aerobics” to move as the graphs shift, and measuring football lights outside using trigonometry. I always seek innovative ways to teach mathematics that is relevant to my students’

Warm Up: Large Group: Activity: Teacher will read the story about Johnny Appleseed. Then chart information of how he was being a good citizen.

What I learned about my activity level from this assignment is that I am still a very active person because of Frisbee and flag football. If I did not have either of the two, my steps would be in the low teens and I would not be very active. It is weird to think how your physical activity goes down after high school. I can see it how my steps go down when I am not participating Frisbee or flag football.

2, Game. Teacher spear them to two group. Let each group have one people come finish today topic sentence, then got the corresponding points. (I will focus on the inside instead of the outside). This game make more student exciting, especially third grade student, they move, jump their body.

Also, I would ask students to pair up and share their thoughts on pioneer women and how clever they were making quilts for their families to keep them warm. One way a teacher can get students actively involved is to as students how they feel about making quilts. I would also make sure I pair students with ELLs students for listening and speaking activities. The most activity comes when students talk in pairs and listen to each other. In pairs, each student is a talker or listener, so no one is left out of the speaking and listening

Give student a sheet of paper and have them fold into halves. On the top half, have them explain and draw a picture of what they did before school or what happen during school. On the bottom half, have them explain and draw of what would be the opportunity cost for the choice they drew on the top. Some possible example and pictures would be to eat cereal or toast, to ride in the car or walk to school and last to eat homemade lunch box or cafeteria food. Some opportunities cost would be, she did not have the same food like her friends, did not arrive to school on time and lastly she did not eat breakfast. When the student is finish with the assessment, you can call on volunteer to share and explain their pictures to the class. By doing this assessment, you as the teacher can ascertain how well did the students grasp the concept and how they can apply it to their every
