I arrived late to class because of basketball practice. So I will have to catch up with Andrews presentation on a 7th grade curriculum.
I really enjoyed Jessica's because she started her lesson in a very interesting way. I think she would be able to grab the attention of her students. When we first started learning about lesson plans I did not see the importance of an anticipatory set. I thought it was just another set in teaching. This can be one of the more important aspects of a lesson plan. Great job Jessica developing ways for your students to buy in.
I also liked how Ali G checked for understanding. It is always important for teachers to make sure their students are 'receiving' the information. You could spend years developing the perfect lesson plan but it would be useless if you have no idea if the students learned something from it. Great job Ali!
Tiffany I really liked the idea of a weather notebook. I think this will allow them to buy into the lesson a bit more because they will get to possess something that helps them in class. Great job!
Angela I really liked how you improved upon your first presentation. You added a lot more detail and your lesson seemed to really have a goal. Good job!
I present next week and I wish good luck to those who present next week also!
I really like the idea of weather note book too. I like living documents for a lot of reasons. They are something that the student can look back on and see their own growth. That you as a teacher can look back on and see the students growth. They are great ways to check for understanding. And the history major in me loves the documenting of history. Everyone should write in some sort of journal at least a few times each year. lol

DeleteI feel like everyone in this group improved from the first go around of presenting our lesson plans! I liked how we got accurate feedback that will help us with our lesson plans. Checking for observations is so important I feel because as you said if the students aren't comprehending what we are teaching them then no matter how good the lesson plan that won't matter.
