Teaching Strategy:

Teaching Strategy: Questions

Asking children questions is a basic instruction tool. In order to

engage children in the activity, I will be asking many different
questions. The questions I will be asking will be tied directly to my
objectives. For example, Child V, what is the first letter in your
name? or How many letters are in your name?
Reflection:

Provide examples
for how you know
it went well.
- What didnt go

go well.
- What did you
learn?
- What might you
do differently

same experience
and why?
- Did you have to
