The Lesson Plan Is Centered Around The Students Learning More About Animal Adaptations

(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

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)

It was inspiring and reinforced what SAU has been teaching me throughout my program; lessons need to be engaging. I appreciated how Muir went further to explain how he makes content explicit and lessons meaningful and engaging. I love the idea of developing a story out of the lessons. As an Early Childhood educator, I think that this will be fairly simple to do and incredibly effective. As their first teachers, parents tend to read to students often or tell them stories. Why not continue that trend, but add educational aspects to encourage students to learn, even when they think they are just listening to and participating in a

Writing the teaching objectives and the learning outcomes, what the pupils will be able to do at the end of the lesson.

When this class started at the beginning of this semester I was not sure I would learn a lot. The main objectives of this class were fairly simple. There were five main objectives to use and know. They are the following:

The learning outcomes are important. There has to be a reason on why something is being taught, and how it will be useful to the students future. Throughout the paper, I’m going to give you an example of a lesson plan I

It is important for my students to understand and value learning goals in the classroom. At the start of every chapter students will be supplied an outline of what they are going to encounter in the upcoming weeks.

b. The second thing I would liked to have seen done differently would be to have less pdf lessons and more auditory and interactive lessons. There were some lessons that had links and audio but the majority of them didn’t work. Sometimes when I’m reading a lot of new information at once (especially on a computer) I can just be reading words and not actually learning anything at all. Because of this I had to go back and read lessons multiple times (especially in unit 2).

The observation conducted and post observation discussion with my experienced colleague helped me to identify key teaching and learning activities that I could implement in my lesson plan. Also the points of reflection that were mutually figured out served as a guide for me to prepare for Unit 2.

Using what you have learned from the readings, discuss why you think lesson plans are important to teaching and which part(s) of the lesson plan will you find most helpful?

As I mentioned earlier, this class was the most noisy and unorganized class I have observed so far at Krahn elementary. The teacher had to talk in a loud voice to make sure she was heard. The classroom was a little messy too with folders and worksheets scattered all over the place. I just gathered from my observation that the problems of classroom management were either due to the fact that it was almost time for dismissal, or the teacher was

Did the material you chose help to teach the specific skill or strategy effectively? Why or why not? Did you meet the goal of your objectives? Why or why not?

Slide 3: I think slide three is important because it helps you to better understand the curriculum. As future teachers, we need to understand the curriculum to effectively teach it. It is also important to make sure that you are teaching a child at the right difficulty area because you don't want to teach them material that they aren't developmentally ready for.

The first part of the lesson is Engage. For this portion, I played a video to engage students and to allow visual learners to take in the information. For the Explore part, students have to research/explore different types of bird life cycles individually or in groups. This supports intrapersonal and interpersonal learners who may chose to work in groups or alone. This part also supports logical learners, as students need to think critically about the information they will be sharing with the rest of the class. During the Explain portion, I will be using visual support through the reading of a book. I will then brain storm with student why and how a chicken life cycle works, once again, supporting logical learners through critical thinking. Throughout the Elaborate section, students will recreate the life cycle of a chick through a dance, a play, a poem or a song. Giving students options on how they want to work is a way to accommodate and support their unique learning style. These specific activity supports all types of learners. Visual learners will be able to watch their peers perform; kinesthetic learners will be able to perform (through movement) what they know; musical learners will be able to demonstrate their knowledge musically; intrapersonal learners can work alone and quietly; interpersonal learners can work in groups, being able to share their findings with others; verbal learners will be able to communicate their knowledge and to brainstorm with peers and teacher during the process; logical learners will have ample of opportunities to do critical thinking; and naturalistic learners, who have an inclination on classifying fauna and flora, will be drawn to this subject as it is heavily concentrate on fauna. Thus, students will able to choose an activity that better suits them, while learning

In general, I feel that this lesson was generally successful. The students, for the most part were engaged and thinking about the North East region. During the previous lesson, we discussed that the regions were divided by climate, culture, geography and economy and the students were able to apply those concepts to the lesson. Because they are familiar with this region, because it is our home region, they were able to compare and analyze aspects of this region to the other regions. They determined the climate, culture, economy and geography of this region by activating prior knowledge and sharing what they knew about the
