Devin Strum—History on the Civil War, poor Devin was having technical difficulties like I had a couple weeks ago.   I really liked the pre-assessment idea to find out what the students know or do not know.   It gets the students involved with the lesson and helps them remember what they do need to remember.   The inside out chair game seems like it would be a great way to keep the class moving and informed.   Great job!

Clint—Social Studies for high school students.   Focus on the Civil War-lesson one.   I really liked the bell work with having the students tell what they know or ask questions on what they do not know.   Having the students have a journal to keep information about what was talked about in class.   I love the sample thinking map to give the students the openness to work on their own.   I really like the power point Clint used for the lesson, simple, to the point but gains attention on the information.   Lesson two adds the slavery portion of the Civil War, making sure they remember what was taught in lesson one, another thinking map, project for the class and putting the class into groups to discussion the railroad at the time.  

Tiffannie—3 rd grade science about plants and animals.   I love the Froggy Froggy video presented for the anticipatory set, the students will remember what the lesson is about with that kind of hook!   I loved how you broke down what time frame the information was to be presented in your lesson.   The second lesson had really pretty pictures and another great video for the anticipatory set.   Great idea for the students to write about how animals adapt. Carman—Continued with 2 nd grade “Fall into Math”, I love the worksheet idea but need to have specific math problems for the students.   Linsey—1 st grade writing, the students writing about The Three Little Pigs .   The story maps with the setting, characters, problem, and solution.   The next lesson writing about Goldilocks and the Three Bears , similar to the previous lesson using the story map.   I love the worksheets for this assignment!   Sara—5 th grade landforms, fun, workable websites, explaining what landforms ar

Crystal- 6 th Science lesson plan, requiring 100% of specific organisms.   Certain characteristics of organisms that are alive or not alive.   What is an ecosystem?   Breaking down what an ecosystem is and continuing on with the lesson as a unit.   Ensure that the class is given a closure, like mine but I really enjoyed the lesson. Carman- 2 nd grade math lesson with adding 1-4 digit problems.   How you named the lesson plans was awesome….”Fall into two digit numbers,” this hooks the students almost right away!   I really enjoyed how you kept the students engaged with learning math.   Sometimes, students really have a hard time with math but keeping them excited about it is great!   Awesome lesson plan! My corrections--Closure- at the end of the lesson. What they want to come up with remediation and enrichment.   Have to have work done at school with no homework.   Different anticipatory set activity.

I really liked all of the lesson plans that were done tonight! Great job everyone! Amanda’s presentation- (1) I really enjoyed Amanda’s lesson plan for 2nd graders breaking down how to explain a story’s beginning, middle and end. Making sure the students understand how a book is broken down will help them understand reading the book itself. (2) Explaining character traits in 2nd grade on the book Molly Lou Melon’s on a handout, traits about themselves, and using apps on iPad. 2nd grade students are still learning different traits about themselves and so for them to learn about it in class is a great way to help the students grow. Douglas’ presentation- (1) Language arts with metaphors, hyperboles, etc for 5th grade. I love how Doug makes the class excited about learning language arts. Playing a game to help students learn is a great way to keep them engaged with the subject. (2) Similes for students to learn in 5th grade. Making sure the students stay engaged is the best way to ensure
