Unit Plan Presentations


Overall I felt that my unit plan presentation went well I covered what I needed to cover. I also felt that my was done clearly and simple where everyone could follow exactly want I was doing for my five lesson plans. Just want to say sorry for the song because Jack's songs are catchy and will get stuck in your head.

I really enjoyed Miranda's unit plan because I think that she had engaging and meaningful activities that every student should get a chance to experience. I like her final project where the students had to show all the steps in the butterfly life cycle.

I also liked linsey's unit plan because I think that she made opinion writing fun because I feel that many students would get bored easily.

I liked Laura's unit plan presentation because I liked that integrated her units with math or money. I like the idea of having students set up a store and where they get to spend the money they earned throughout the unit. I wish I got a chance to see all five lessons because it sounds like a great unit.

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....
