How Successful Was The Lesson?

could I do better next time, how did I feel, were the students engaged, was I confident, did I have

(1987) described this form of instruction as a systematic method of teaching with emphasis on proceeding in small steps, checking for student understanding, and achieving active and successful participation by all students. I have also used the strategy as reference for determining the strengths and weaknesses of my lesson. After conducting in class lesson and reviewing my video lesson multiple times, I was able to identify my strengths

When I completed this lesson I actually felt I should re-think my decision to become an educator. Mrs. Anderson makes this job look easy. I had prepared my science lesson plan Monday and scheduled to start a 3-day lesson on Wednesday. I tried to keep my lesson close to the basal/textbook. I feel as though the students responded positively. They were responsible in raising their hands to answer questions. I had a note to “slow down” in my notes. This helped me pace my lesson appropriately. I felt confident….and then I did not! HOWEVER, this time I did not speed up my speaking and rush through the lesson as quickly as possible. I added a few examples that were not on my plan with the hopes to explain matter to the students and I believe that helped one or two students. I felt, as a class, we stayed on topic the entire class. There were a

2) Did the activity go as planned? Why or why not? Overall the lesson went I as planned for it to go. The students enjoyed the activity and were easily engaged it in. The students asked lots of questions that showed they were thinking about what we were doing and trying to figure out how it worked. Something that I didn’t anticipate was some of the children had an issue with touching the wet cotton balls. They didn’t like the feel or texture, so I had to help them complete the activity. It was definitely easier to work with the smaller groups, two or three students, than the bigger

When it comes to setting the mood for learning, there was a definite shift when the students knew they were being recorded. However, once we got back into the “groove” of things, they did much better. I think one thing I could have done differently is review expectations for group time on the rug before we began. I think this also would have improved some of the student involvement. Many students were involved in responding, however, many were just worried about sneaking a peek at the camera when they thought no one would notice. I used different strategies to help students participate like think-pair-share, choral response, and hand signals. I have found that using a variety of methods to allow students respond to questions really

While I was talking and teaching, all the student seemed to be engaged in what I was saying and doing. All students would participate when I asked questions and they all listened when I would talk. While giving them information, I tried to be as creative as possible. I didn’t want to bore them, so I tried to use different tones when talking to them, to keep them engaged in what I was saying. While I was there, the students were never really bad, but the few times they did act up I calmly corrected them. The first few times I was there the students listened right away, but as they got used to me, it became a little harder correcting them. On the last day the teacher had to step in and ask them to quiet down because they were not listening to me. Once the teacher stepped in, they began listening to me again. I believe my strengths were being able to connect with the kids. I think the most of the kids formed a relationship with me. They knew my name, and when I walked in they all got excited to see me. Before each lesson, I would talk to them about their day and tell them a little about my day. After this experience, I am positive I still want to be a teacher. It kind of showed me how a lesson would work in a classroom. I really like having all the kids’ attention. I also like getting to teach the kids some new things. I t was fun being able to see them learn new words. I think this actually made

I personally think that my lesson went pretty well. It seemed like many people were engaged and they participated. There are things that I could have done to make the activity more challenging for the consonant digraphs and consonant blends, but overall I think the activity was fun. I felt like the students payed attention to when I was speaking at the beginning and the end of the activity, which was ideal for any lesson.

Students will be intellectually engaged through the prompts that are given to create their complete sentences about being president of the U.S. This also allows students to really think about what they could do if they were the president and allows room for brainstorming and the imagination. They will also work together with their peers to identify two facts about each of the two presidents we are learning about. I will then provide further information on the two presidents by having students listen to the facts. I will communicate expectations by verbally telling students what they will be doing and the instructions of the lesson activity. I will follow up on behavior expectations by having students who are being disrespectful or not listening to take a break or to sit next to me at the table. After the student is ready to learn, they will be allowed to come back to the table with the group on continue on their worksheet. I believe I am engaging my students well due to the prompting of writing and coloring as well. By having students color and write, they are using different materials and are able to have fun with it as

Along with the pictures, I allowed the book to be passed around by the students, which I feel was a major distraction from the lesson at the time, which I think I should not do in the future with easily distracted or younger students. Aside from things I would change about my lesson, some things that I feel that I did that made my lesson strong was how I modeled. I think I modeled reading well and I also did the worksheet along with the students. I feel that this gave them an idea of what was expected to be demonstrated by them on the sheet. During our RAL class on monday we discussed ignoring students calling out and instead positively reinforcing those who raise their hands, which was something I tried to do in this lesson and it allowed me to hear from every student. In total, I feel that I learned a great deal by performing this lesson. For starters, I was able to proudly pat myself on the back for things that I felt were successful. For things that were not so successful, I am able to reflect on why they did not work and will be able to apply it in the future to better my

The first lesson was the Focus In Lesson, titled “Understanding Archeology in the World and in Indiana. The students looked at different excerpts that helped them answer the true and false questions that they predicted in the beginning of the lesson. I would say that a strength of this lesson was setting strong expectations from the start. This allowed the students to see what we expected of them. I also thought that a strength of this lesson was them predicting the true and false questions at the beginning and then answering them again after reading about Native Americans. This helped them to see what they learned throughout the lesson what they didn’t know beforehand.

My lesson went smoothly and I was excited to be in the classroom finally working with students again! Following the lesson, I have a better understanding of what to expect next time with regard to how willing the students are to respond and participate in the lesson and how to time the different sections of the lesson plan.

espond- Danielle, I really like the format of this lesson. You make it fun during the reading by asking the students questions that are silly and have no correct response, but engage the students in the story. Your formative assessment is nice. I like the way you practice with the whole class so no one student is singled out and feels pressured if they do not comprehend the information. Then, you travel to a more in-depth assessment of individual students by analyzing them segmenting the words on their own.

After reviewing the video of the lesson I recorded and analyzing the results, I feel very positive about the lesson outcomes. Prior to the start of this lesson, each student completed the pre-assessment. Students were then placed in groups based on their readiness level. This assessment displayed the need for differentiation during small group instruction.

I think this third lesson went pretty well. One of my students was absent, but I had another girl from a different group join mine for this last time. Although the subject was a bit dull, the girls paid attention throughout the whole lesson and both of them spoke during our discussions. They gave reasoning for their answers and followed along while I read the informational passage. I also feel that I made my lesson very clear, which helped the students understand the main concept better.

It was outstanding to notice that most of the kids were digesting and understanding much of the lecture so rapidly with interest, which I realistically was not expecting on day one of our encounter. they happened to be inquisitive, the average interval of each learner asking me a question was one minute , with much learned from the scratch and preparation made, I was able to attend everyone in good time and respond to their questions or help them out. The teaching was scheduled to last at least an hour; I completed my first session of the day with them at exactly an hour past. Right after recapping everything, we called it a day. What I could possibly recommend to the school management or administration is to buy more computers to facilitate the optimum learning environment to pupils as well as the
