Group 1 Cooperative Lesson Plan !

                                                                  Group 1's Lesson 3 

     This is the last lesson for the Jessica, Emmalyn, and Nayely.  This is the cooperative lesson plan.  This is solely student based.  The students had two lessons to learn and understand the material.  Now it is time to have the students complete one last assignment for group 1.  They started this lesson with questions to review the previous week.  Like I said in the last blog this is crucial for students to ensure that they remember the information from the week before, because in between lesson's 2 the inquiry lesson and 3 the cooperative lesson there was a weekend.  So there is even more time in between each lesson.  For the cooperative lesson the student teachers gave each group a different assignment.  Group 1 had to  create an acrostic poem using the word explorer. Group 2 had to create a poster explaining to the fourth graders what the difference is between longitude and latitude.  Group 3 had to create a collage of the age of exploration.  Group 4 had to create a newspaper article about the age of exploration.  All of these assignments had rubrics with them.  One thing I would improve on is to give each group the same assignment because it could get to confusing for the students.

Overall Reflection of Student Teaching

  Overall Reflection of Student Teaching How did my student teaching experience go? I feel that it went very well, of course their is always room for improvement but overall I think it went better then expected.  Living in covid times its a lot harder to get in person work and experience so I thought that trying to teach over zoom would be very hard.  I was surprised by how well it went.  There were of course some struggles, some being the group work.  It was hard to work with the students over zoom because we were all on the computer even though all of the students were in the classroom.  This made it hard to communicate with the students while in broken up group work.  Some positives of my experience was how much the students participated.  Every week the students were excited and eager to learn something new.  This made it so nice and refreshing to teach, because most students much prefer playing and slacking off of their work.  Somet...

Overview of the Semester

    Overview of the Semester      I learned so many new and exciting things this semester.  Fieldwork was truly an eye opening experience.  I loved every second of it, and learned so much stuff from the class itself.  While student teaching I worked in smaller groups of the classroom to help the students, my particular group had a tough time with the assignments.  Even though this was hard I feel like it was good for me to go through to get a good experience because not every classroom and every student is going to be easy and simple.  I never really knew that there was several different types of instruction like direct inquiry and cooperative.  This really opened my eyes because not all students learn the same and you have to understand your students to know which instruction works best for them.

Group 4 Cooperative Lesson Plan

    Group 4 Cooperative Lesson Plan        This was the last lesson for group 4 to teach as well as the last lesson with the Bishop Dunn 5th graders as well.  Group 4 defiantly came through some struggles and disadvantages during this lesson because thanksgiving break was in between lesson 2 the inquiry lesson and the current lesson, the cooperative instructional lesson.  They pushed through and created an assignment for the students.  The students were defiantly not 100% engaged in the lesson like they usually are, they kept repeating question several time even when other students already asked them, as well as taking longer to finish assignments.  In a way this was good for Anthony and Rebecca to go through because not every classroom setting will be perfect.  This gives us all a true rounded experience.
