Cooperating Teacher Feedback Sheet

ED 215R
Lesson Two
It was obvious Alyssa spent time planning this lesson in advance. She had a
graphic organizer for the kids to sort their post-its and her think aloud questions
planned in advance. Alyssa has a good understanding of the structure of a minilesson. She started her strategy group with the teaching point. One area she could
include in the next lesson is a connection - relating what the students are about to
learn to real life. She taught and modeled the strategy of asking questions while
reading and then had the group of students try it themselves. Students were
recording their questions as Alyssa took a picture walk. At the end of the picture
walk, the kids put their post-its with questions on the chart and Alyssa modeled
how to look for the answer to a question by using the table of contents. Students
then tried this independently with their own text. In the future, during the guiding
part, you could stop every page and ask if anyone is wondering anything then as a
group write it down and stick it on the chart. This way those kids that are stuck
and not sure what type of questions to ask will have peer models. If it was
possible, you could have multiple copies of the text so all the students could try
using the table of contents to answer one of the questions they came up with.
Overall, Alyssa did a good job! She took the feedback from the first lesson and her
observations from being in the classroom and applied it to her lesson.
