Group 2

Group 2: Climate and weather 

Every Monday night a new group presents their lesson plan. It is nice to see what other future teachers think of and can create. Everyone needs to create a direct and inquiry lesson. The use of the 5 E's is super important and they incorporated all of them. For this groups engage they had the students become travel detectives. They also used flipgrid to share their findings and they use of Powtoon to explain what the students would be doing. Pre-assessed by going over the scientific method. I like the use of this activity and how they used Powtoon because the students really do enjoy this resource. I like that the teachers used the pull-down option on the powerpoint and made the students think about what each step is. For exploring the teachers explained the lesson and introduced the problem with the Powtoon. The inquiry possessed was not modeled. Creating a model what both of you solved prior would have helped the students. I know Jamie was typing up a key request for the students while working with them. For explain, the students were prompted if they needed help. A sheet was provided for the students to write down their answers for the traveling detectives. I like that the teachers provided a list of websites for the students to use. That was something really great and I did not even think of for my lesson. To evaluate,
Both teachers did a great job circulating throughout the room. The teachers encouraged the students with their educated guesses and also showed them some. Important aspects of the investigation. The reflections of the students were the use of flipgrid. For elaborate, We ran out of time for the lesson, would have been nice to see. During the direct instruction, they had vocabulary boxes, with either pictures or words. One teacher was moving around the room to make sure the student's computers were on what they needed to be and the right places in the notes and the other was presenting. Both teachers would alternate on this. Turn and talk to your neighbor. They emphasized certain points the students need to know. They real-life l life examples. This was for the development part of the lesson.

Lets review slide was good so the students would understand the concepts. The slides were short and had all the information.

This group did a great job and they are going to be great teachers!
