Reflection



Overall on my lesson plan presentation, I felt that I covered all the required material in the PowerPoint. The only thing that I need to make sure that I make more clear next time is where I model the information for the students to have a better understanding of their learning objectives. I'm a very shy person so doing presentations are always difficult because I just want them to be over so this time I tried to make it point to talk more slowly and make sure that my classmates understood my lessons.

One of my favorite lessons would have to be Laura's and the use of a runner. I have never seen a lesson plan that has used one and I'm glad I did because now I have a better understanding of how to incorporate one in a lesson in the future.

The next presentation that I liked was Linsey and her lesson over opinion writing because it seemed really fun and engaging for students. The two choices of videos that she used were great because they where meaningful use of technology to help student critical think about opinion writing 

Overall I felt that everyone had great lessons and I'm going to keep some of the ideas that they used as resources for my future lessons in the classroom.

    Kayla,
    Yes I agree I really like the runner! In my diagnostic reading class we talked about those and it was such a great idea. I actually have a lesson that incorporates one as well. I feel the same way about presenting to class, I hate it but I like hearing all the ideas!

    I love the runner idea! I had never heard of it until last semester and it seems like a great resource! I agree about saving resources from the lesson plans! There were some really good ideas throughout everyone's lessons. I do not like presenting as well! I don't get nervous at all in a classroom with students but something about speaking in front people my age is super hard.

Madeline Hunter Lesson Plan Design

     The Madeline Hunter lesson plan is a seven parts, that include objectives, standards, anticipatory set, teaching [input, modeling, and check for understanding], guided practice, closure, and independent practice. I find this plan easy to follow because it breaks it down into simple steps. There are several things I find difficult with this lesson plan design. The first being research- based strategies because I need to get more comfortable using then in my lesson. The next being extension and modification because I find it difficult to come up with them without having knowledge of the education level of students.  I know that it just takes practice when writing lesson plans, so I'm excited to get better at it. That is why I love these courses because I get a chance to learn new things.

Fun Ways to Teach Vocabulary

http://theteachaholic.blogspot.com/2012/03/word-catchers.html The first fun way to teach vocabulary is to do something called the word catchers. Where the teacher asked the student if they have heard any word catchers for today. The student must tell the teacher when/where they hear/saw the word and give the word in the context in which they encountered it. When the student uses a current or past word they get a reward. This would be a great tool to use to get students really excited to learn different vocab words. As we all know learning Vocabulary can be very boring. The second fun way to teach vocabulary is to have students draw the words to help them learn it. Drawing really helps students visualize the words being taught and helps them with comprehension. I think it important that teachers let the students be creative with their drawings and have them make a funny picture because this will make the vocabulary more meaningful when they get to have a little bit of fun....
