Kevin did his Amanda Bean 3rd grade math presentation on Multiplication or Addition? Here is the page out of the book. I love the book. I love that it shows a girl who loves Math. Girls need more encouragement in the area of math. Writing lesson plans takes a lot of time. Sometimes, I do like to use ideas and change some elements to make them new. However, if I have the time, I like writing new lesson plans. It helps me grow. I learn so much when researching the topic. I plan on using the lesson plans that I write in my classroom.

Rachel did her presentation titled, Flamingo Teamwork for 1st/2nd Grade LA. I thought is was clever that she used a Scholastic News article for this. They are great short articles. The cover captures students attention. She used an anticipation chart and circle map. I liked that she had 4 standards. I noticed that she had 3 objectives which was because two of the standards matched. She included first and second grade learning standards. I liked that she choice a relevant topic on teamwork. That is a great skill that we all need.

Lesli Hendrix did an amazing presentation for 9th grade English, titled, "Identifying Literary Elements: On the Street Bleeding by Evan Hunter." It was a good lesson for "at risk" youth. I think the story line would draw them in. I loved her slides and I took some pictures. I liked how she brought out the point of view and perspective. There are times I wish I was going for middle or high school English Lit.
Susan,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your blog post! When I initially did my lesson I did not have a thinking map in it; it was a graphic organizer that was pulled from the student's worksheets. After presenting and realizing this I did add a bubble map to the beginning of my lesson but going along with the lesson on squares I started the map as a square and drew a bubble around the square. The kiddos loved it and were able to work together to figure out what they remembered from the day before. It's the little things!

I will have to agree with you on the time frame, it just seemed like we started the class, and now we are at the end. It is a sweet feeling to be almost done, but this class has presented me with tons of information. Visual aids are a great tool, and like you said they helped you remember the presentations. I plan to use lots of visual aids in my future class. For me, if I can visualize something, I remember it much better and can talk a lot more about it.
ReplyDeleteI haven't had anyone in my group post yet, so I thought I would come on over and check yours out :) Thanks for mentioning my presentation. I was a little nervous about it but I am happy to hear that my objectives were clear. I wrote about your lesson on my blog. You will have to go check it out :)
ReplyDeleteI think it is awesome that you provide such detailed feedback, Susan! It shows that you value others and that is a great quality to have.
Thanks! I loved your presentation. I love books. I love reading books with students. When I taught my lesson for this class, the students were so engaged. It was the greatest feeling in the world to see students enaged in reading and asking questions.
DeleteSusan I enjoyed hearing about your lesson, as it was so detailed and fun for your students (or so I imagine). I love the book you included in your lesson, because it was full of information that was presented for the age group you were teaching. I feel like it broke it down just right for your students! And don't feel bad, I couldn't rememeber all of them, and certainly didn't write about all of them. Nonetheless, they all provided great ideas about what could be done for future lessons. Great job Susan! :)
