Lesson Review Form ECED 329 A typed lesson plan review is due to the University Supervisor one week

after teaching the lesson. Please attach a copy of the lesson plan to the review. Address each of the following points with specific examples from your experience teaching the lesson. Write in narrative form. If you did not address one of the following when teaching your lesson, explain why. If you intended to address a point but did not, explain how you would do so if given the opportunity to teach the lesson again.

State one objective and describe the ways in which your students met that objective. Objective: Describe how you sequenced the lesson so that your students were guided from their known experiences to new learning. I began the lesson asking them about things that I knew they had been studying. For example, I asked them about the front cover, back cover, spine, and title page to cover what they already knew. I also asked them about what the author does versus what the illustrator does. We talked about the job of both for a few minutes. Now that I knew they definitely had the basics of a book down pat, I introduced the book to them. They had been celebrating Dr. Seuss all week, so I knew they were familiar with it. This helped out a lot when it came to talking about rhyming words within the book. I knew the children had talked about rhyming words, but not as in depth as I wanted to. As we came to rhyming words in the book, I pointed them out to the students and every now and then I asked them to give me two rhyming words of their own. 2. Describe the kind(s) of groupings you used and the effectiveness of your use of grouping. I grouped the students as a large group to read and discuss the rhyming in our book we read together. At center time I used small groups that usually contained about 4-5 students each time. I tried to grab a few of the more elite students and mix them with the lower performing students to help them in the process. 3. Describe one way in which you addressed the individual needs of one child or a small group of children. I have a student who wears eye glasses every day. I addressed her physical need at the beginning of my lesson by allowing her to sit up close on the run while I read the book. By allowing her to do so, she was able to see the text more clearly. 4. If your management of the lesson presented difficulties, what were they and how did you handle them? I did not find any difficulties during this particular lesson. All of the children were excited about reading the book, so they stayed engaged the entire time. The post assessment activity was a game to them, so it made learning fun. 5. Describe your assessment process and the ways in which the process provided/did not provide you with an accurate evaluation of how well the children learned the content. I used a chart to process my assessment before during and after the lesson. I feel like the charts I use are easy to read and easy to check off, especially during the lesson. I did feel like the assessment during the lesson was a little of a challenge because I did not want to stop during my read aloud to check off that a child got a concept question right. I felt like that took too much time out of the lesson so I waited and did that right after the activity. I felt like the during assessment is the hardest thing to assess written down. Usually I read a book like I did in this lesson so I do not want to stop their learning to write something down about a certain student. I try to remember the main students that presented difficulty or did a great job and jot that down afterwards. 6. Describe the manner in which your lesson addressed more than one of the developmental realms of the child.

I feel that the students were involved with a variety of developmental realms. While I read the book and asked questions, they used their sense of listening and inquiring what they heard to answer questions. During the activity they used motor skills to pick up the small pieces of paper to match on the hat board. 7. Identify the dimension of multicultural education (i.e., James Banks notion of content integration, knowledge construction, prejudice reduction, equity pedagogy, or empowering school culture) that was most critical for you to consider as you taught this lesson. Why do you believe your chosen dimension was most important for this learning experience? Knowledge construction was the most important multicultural dimension of education because I had to address standards to students that are all on different performance levels. Having them use their knowledge to complete some of the work I asked of them was almost oblivious to a few of my lower level students. Their minds are a different construction than most of the others. I have students in my class that will stare at you hoping you just give them an answer for free. It was critical for me to understand how they learn the best to build their knowledge of the lesson. I have learned that the student, who does this action, works best when you have her by herself. So when I did the center time game with them, I allowed her to play the game in a group and then I worked separately with her afterward. 8. When you teach your next lesson, what teaching strategy will you work to improve? I plan on working more on focusing on an individual level for the students who tend to fall behind. I would like to try and start working with these kids one on one when Mrs. Driggers will allow me to. I hate feeling like they are always behind in their learning, especially when I know they can do it! 9. How would you rate your implementation of this lesson? Very good Satisfactory Fair

Why would you rate your lesson this way? I would rate myself as satisfactory for my third lesson. I feel like I deserve this rating because for my third lesson I thought it went quite smoothly. I would not give myself a very good, because I know I have things to improve on!
