My lesson plans demonstrate the knowledge I gained about their specific learning needs and interests by using the information I obtained from CLIP step two. I was the first person to get ahold of the writing pieces so they had yet to be corrected so I was able to see where the students needed most help. Therefore, I based my lessons off of it. I chose to choose a mentor text that would spark their interest. In a previous education class I witnessed the book being used with students and they loved it. I knew that this book would also be a good teaching tool for me to rely on. I knew this book would be beneficial for the lesson. I read the book in the front of the room so that they were all able to see the pictures that the author was describing through the text. I would stop periodically to point out great sentence fluency parts of the book. In the book, there are many repeating statements but all said a different way. I would stop after we had heard the sentence more than once and ask the class how saying the sentence differently made the writing more fluent. There were quite a few sentences repeated in the text but they all had to do with different things and the students were able to point this out without asking by the end of the reading. I made sure to ask good opinion based and open-ended questions throughout the text. This book did a wonderful job keeping the students attention and engaged. After observing the students interact with their teacher, I knew the
(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
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?
MEDA AB is an international specialty pharmaceutical organization with its headquarters set in Stockholm, Sweden.

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.
I run my program through M4RA (Mentoring 4 Reading Achievement). M4RA uses a scientifically-based model of 1:1 reading mentoring for students reading below grade level, including students with disabilities. Students are mentored 5 times per week by trained peer mentors using Reading A-Z’s tutoring and mentoring packs. Like I said prior, I use an adapted version. I use the tutoring and mentor pack which includes Leveled Books, Fluency Practice Passage, Graphic Organizers, and Comprehension questions. But I created a lesson plan better suited for Middle School Students. I also created work on Clarification, summarization, Questioning, Making Predictions, Visualization, and Retelling the story. I identify each of the 5 areas of reading instruction through this program. There is so many different strategies that I use in this type of learning that all learning styles are reached during some
2. My actual score had me ranging from high to low - Initiator (thirteen), Encourager (eight), Gatekeeper and Summarizer (seven), and Harmonizer (six).
Practitioners will continue to observe, plan and review for their key children, they will record all targets for individual children to help them progress in their development. There are ways to approach additional support such as:
Mrs. Lawrence: When planning a lesson, I start with the objective. What is it I am supposed to be cover. Once I know, I start with a hook. I access their prior knowledge then I move on with either an example or model. All along I ask questions to make sure the students
I like the fact that when she asked the question about what happened to her sweater, her students immediately raised their hands. They were all into the story. They wanted to know more about the story. She taught her lesson very well. After telling her story and giving clues that defines main idea, she asked her class what they think main idea means. I think that it is a brilliant way to make your students think and connect. Her students were able to use context clues, and they were able to come up with their own definition of main idea. I noticed that Ms. Bannon used a projector to project the pages of the book so that her students can read along. It is a good way of getting student involved. It also allows for students to practice reading, while Ms. Bannon’s reading out loud. After that, she made her students communicate with one another. It is important to let students communicate with one another. Students interacting with one another is a positive learning technique because they can learn from one another. Also, that way Ms. Bannon is not the only one doing the talking, and that way there wouldn’t be so many teacher to student
The language arts lesson began with Ms. House having the students discuss the use of punctuation in a sentence. I liked how she sternly, but calmly was able to redirect students back to their seats when they came up the book. The students knew exactly what she meant and quickly listened to her. I also noticed how the majority of the times she called on a student whether or not they had their hand raised. This is a great practice because it prepares students to always think about the question asked and to have an answer ready. Ms. House had the students transition to the next activity by standing and shaking their arms and legs. I believe this is a great way to quickly give students a break and then redirect them to the next activity.
By identifying these learning styles a tutor can ensure that the lesson plan become holistic by using a range of resources such as flipcharts, presentations, hand-outs, research activities and giving continuous praise and encouragement to all learners.
First knowing the subject, then deciding the length of the lesson and which key stage is it aimed for.
Analysis of the three identified stages stated on the lesson planner shall take place within this assignment. Links will be shown between the teaching methods that were incorporated in this lesson planner which met particular learning characteristics, traits and needs of the group or an individual(s) and relevant educational and theoretical principles. The lesson planner has been placed in the appendices, as a referral resource, for this assignment.
This essay will provide details about how the lesson plan and sequence of lessons for the mathematics unit of symmetry caters for individual students’ needs in regards to active engagement in learning activities and what differentiation measures are put into place for students with varying levels of ability.
I observed that the students were finding themselves hard to concentrate on the lesson plan and I believe there were couple of reasons why the lesson failed to captivate the interest of the students. One of the reason is because, the activity of watching a movie and answering couple questions lacked the critical thinking process. Also, the students had to watch the same story videos from different websites which just seemed meaningless. The materials were extremely repetitive. Throughout the lesson, students had hard time sitting still and seem to lack interest; their heads were on the desks. Lastly, there were no hooks in the lesson plan to captivate the students that will make them desire to learn the
