The true measure of a good lesson, however, is when I can look at tests and quizzes on the material and see a good level of understanding and comprehension on the student’s …show more content…

IPTS 1C: understands how teaching and student learning are influenced by development (physical, social and emotional, cognitive, linguistic), past experiences, talents, prior knowledge, economic circumstances and diversity within the community Performance Activity 22: How does the teacher relate content to students’ lives? Ms. Boerema relates content to students; lives by asking students questions relating to students’ lives. The strategy she uses is relating content to prior knowledge. An example of this is asking a question relating to the Outsiders, “Which one of your parents are you most like? What similarities do you share?”
The first teaching lesson for a semester seems to be the most nerve wrecking experience, for me. This semester in Uteach 1202, Stephen Kolb and I, Janecia Hagood taught Dr. Won 7th grade Life science class at Blackmon Road Middle School. We had a great time teaching the students about the dichotomous key. Overall, some lesson intentions were met, some aspects of the lesson were better than others, and we got feedback for improvements.
As they begin to type, they referred to these notes and questions. Taking this step to slow down, think, and prepare before writing naturally sets up the students for better quality writing, especially with setting up a solid continuity of ideas. I stress this every time we write an essay in the classroom and this is the first time I have seen it happen among my students. As these students worked together, I noticed sustained high levels of
Assignment 1 In the excerpt, “Unteaching the Five-Paragraph Essay” by Marie Foley, it reveals how the Five-Paragraph Essay formula as an unnatural method of writing. Foley shows that this formula is used by teachers as a strategy for survival, since it would be easier to teach a class the formula of five-paragraph than to teach the students individually. Also that this formula was originally was planned to help retain the efficiency and clarity of the essay. It’s a useful step for beginning student to write and to overcome writer’s block.
This semester was filled with many bumpy roads. I struggled in the beginning of the semester with my writings , as I didn 't feel confident enough to write a well developed writing.

Therefore I have set goals to improve my writing in the future.

Introduction: Students need many opportunities to write. During the Reading, Research, and Writing portion of the literacy block, students should have regular opportunities to respond to text and multiple texts. This companion document provides aligned and thoughtfully sequenced explicit writing instruction that allows students to generate different pieces of writing, aligned to the unit of study. What is the writing process?
The writing assignment begins with the student spending one minute writing about anything that comes to mind. The only catch the student has to write for the whole minute. The pencil cannot leave the paper even to think. Students count their words at the end of the minute.
Overall the lesson was successful and managed to reach its goal of practicing writing and answering Wh questions. Zoharit managed to involve all students in the lesson and made sure each of them understood the topic and made
This time we worked with students trying to review the material they have learned. I only got one student due to the cross country team. His name is David (nickname). In the beginning, I was pretty surprised that David didn’t even start his worksheet.
Writing has always been an issue but yet interesting subject of mine. As hard as I try and write essays, and papers I just can’t get the hang of writing. But after taking this class, I did learn different writing technique and improved my writing proficiency, material body of formatting, and how to uncovering and properly use sources. Through class exams, essays, and a research paper, I was able to learn new writing skills. Although I have learned a variety of things, my writing still needs improvement.
I think this lesson went well. Addie and I did a lot of playing today. 2. What went well during this lesson?
How well did your lesson support an inclusive environment and meet the needs of all learners? I believe I used appropriate wait times to give each students a chance to develop their answer and reasoning. I reread directions and expectations out loud to make sure each student understood the directions. I also reread the question and answer slowly, rewrote it, and explained how and why we got that answer. I went back to one student when he said, “I forgot” and had him retry to give his answer.
After, reviewing all of the summative assessments I realized that a lot of the preservice teachers struggled with the matching questions. They mostly got the vocabulary and language development level and the meaning-based context and themes level confused. This made was not completely surprising since the descriptions were similar. Concerning the essay prompt all of the preservice teachers were able to identify that there are 5 acquisition levels and explain at least how one of the six key strategies could be used in the classroom. I would have preferred if they would have been able to give an example of each of the six key teaching strategies but since the question did not clearly state that I cant be disappointed with what I received as answers.
