In analsys of my lesson I will discuss it in chronological order and recap the good and bad of this lesson.
First beginning with day one, for lesson preparation I intended to use the student’s lunch to take care of some cutting and distribution of materials. This was my first flaw. Utilizing this time for last minute adjustments and distribution of materials was fine but counting to be able to get the cutting done during this time was an error in judging the time it would take to cut out the word sort I’d intended the students to complete for the vocabulary words. This led to a scramble to get the baggies of cut paper to each student at the opening of the lesson. The definition of work portion went a little different than expected. A 3rd grader’s definition of work is very egocentric. They each gave personal definitions of work that involved school, or chores. Ms. Morris interjected that a job might be considered work also to help broaden the student’s definition of work. After I gave them the physics definition of work we completed the “jumping Jack” exercise which I believe helped to drive home the concept of what had to happen for our new definition of work to be met. At this time the students were asked to take out their science journals and open the word sort. At this point I played the rollercoaster video stopping it when we came to terms on the word sort. In retrospect, I feel the video was unnecessary; I would have rather had a video of a rollercoaster without
What were the objectives of this lesson? How well do you think your students understood the overall purpose and relevance of the lesson? (APS 4.A–C)
I did my observations in a first grade classroom at R. L Brown Elementary school. My supervising teacher had strict guidelines about the lesson that she was allowing me to teach. Because I was doing my observation so close to the end of the year, I could only teach during the science block. She allowed my to choose between two standards. The standard I choose was LAFS.1.RI.3.9 Id( Identify basic similarities in and differences between two texts on the same).I spent a lot of time doing my lesson plan called the and different, and I tried to plan for everything possible. To be honest my lesson went okay. It was the little things that caused the most problems. I learned that actual teaching is a complex profession. There are always a million
1. In your own words summarise the major learning points from the whole of the study programme with particular reference to:
What were the learning outcomes for the lesson? How did the learning outcomes meet the needs of individual students?
Today I arrived at 8: 30. I organised the classroom and made it ready for pupils to come. After assembly we did some time table practice. Next we had a new lesson for numeracy skills and I supported a group of students. L. O. Was about the name of 2 D shapes and how can we recognise them. First Miss B explained about the topic and she draw the shapes on the bored.
The first lessons are concerned with a lot of verbal assessment and discussion, in order to gauge levels of experience pupils may have had prior to beginning my group. (At primary school Kishnama worked with a ceramic artist making and decorating tiles). During the first lessons with my A Level group, I neglected to talk about prior learning. One identifiable weakness in my planning. It is my responsibility to break down an overall scheme of work into lesson plans, identifying aims and learning outcomes through listing what I intend to demonstrate. E.g. in a scheme of work “hand building forms” would be written. My session plan would/should
I teach in an eighth grade classroom that is set in a Jr-Sr. High school. It is located in the Jr. High hallway, near the rear of our high school. I have thirty-two student desks situated in rows and two small tables at the front of my room used for paper pick up. I painted my room a turquoise beach blue and it is decorated with various beach themed paraphernalia. I also have many inspirational quote posters up around my room, hoping to engage my students into deeper thinking. The students all have their own Chromebooks and I have a desktop computer as well as a Samsung Tablet. Many computer applications suited for 1:1 schools are used in our building. We begin our day at 7:40am with a zero period for professional development and meetings. The students have seven, forty-five minute periods beginning at 8:20am and continuing until 3:15pm. My classes include four “regular” English classes, one “Honors” class, an Essential Skills class that rotates every week with two other teachers, and a prep period. My duties throughout the year consist of sponsoring the Jr. High Student Council as well as parking lot duty for two weeks during second semester. We adhere closely to the Indiana State Standards and use the ISTEP and NWEA mandated assessments. We, as teachers, are given free rein to teach how we see fit; however, we were asked to submit curriculum mapping outlining the content/topics, key terms, sources/resources, assessments
You need to provide a summary of your learning for this week, particularly in response to the “learning outcomes” in your own words. Your tutor will ask students to present their responses to the class at the next tutorial session.
5. What has not worked for your study of the material during this first chapter?
Angie text “HELP ASAP”. I helped out with Amon who was having a hard morning. His para was out sick, no substitute, lesson and behavior plans were not included for the day. I requested to see lesson plans and she did not have anything prepared for the
The lesson plan 3 was about “Time by the hour” for math. Throughout the time in my placement field, I get to observe and teach in my cooperating teacher’s 1st grade class. I had learned so much about the students and enjoyed working along with everyone. At the end of every planned lesson plans, I have learned so much and gained some useful information on how to become a better teacher in the future. In this lesson plan 3, I had reflected on my past mistake and learn to grow from it.
1. In your own words summarise the major learning points from the whole of the programme with particular reference to :
One thing that I learned this week was the overall affect of school cancellations on the class syllabus. Mr. Allen 's strategy for me is to teach every day, but to use the majority of his content prepared and lesson plans. However, with that being said, Mr. Allen and I have gone through each and every day to plan the lessons until March 6th, which is when I leave. The difficulty that has arisen is the amount of snow days that Brewer Community School has had. Last weeks two cancellations caused two very important activities to have to be thrown out and modify the week. Mr. Allen plans his units to only last a week and on Fridays, quizzes are taken to check for understanding. We were lucky that last week only had two days worth of notes,
In this story the author tells us about a girl named Sylvia, the narrator, who lives in a very low income family. A place where school is not a priority. A place where it is more important to be strong and hard, than to read a book. This was the thought anyway, before Miss. Moore moved in. She was a school teacher who took it upon herself to teach the neighborhood kids. On one summer afternoon in particular she was going to take the kids into town on a field trip. The kids are not at all happy about this because they know it is summer break and they are not supposed to be in school in the summer. They would rather be at the pool playin’, but Miss. Moore knows that if these kids want a chance at a better life,
The classroom follows a partial day inclusion program. Ms. Welsh’s classroom on the second floor of Village School is considered their base area. The student’s belongings are all kept in the classroom upstairs and they spend the majority of their time there throughout the day. All students are taught by both teachers for math, science, and social studies. For reading and writing, Ms. Wilush teaches three students in a pull-out resource room on the first floor of the building. When it is time for students to review those lessons, the three students make their way down to Ms. Wilush’s classroom with the folders and other materials they may need. Once reading and writing periods are completed, the students either return to Ms. Welsh’s classroom or go to an alternate room for specials such as art or music. Ms. Wilush and Ms. Welsh’s relationship can be described as both friendly and professional. Ms. Welsh is currently going to graduate school for special education, so she is learning a lot from Ms. Wilush’s work. At the same time, Ms. Wilush is taking the opportunity to learn from such an experienced teacher as Ms. Welsh who has taught for ten years. They believe that the best way to work efficiently and achieve the most success for each student is
