at least one person. However while walking around I heard many students
already sharing- I allowed this because I was happy to see the students want
to share and to learn more about others books. If I would repeat this lesson
I would chose to create a chart that would help me assess the students
individually. I would create a chart that would address: how much assist they
needed, if they asked for help, what reaction prompt they were using,
Assessment: (AEA: Diagnosis, Integrative Interaction WTS:
1,2,3,7,8,9 DISP: Reflection) Explain how you knew if the students
learned what you taught them. What did you learn from listening to student
responses, examining their work or listening to their interactions? What were
your assessment procedures and how well did they inform you about student
attainment of your lessons objectives? To follow-up this lesson, what would
you teach next? Why?
- I knew if the students learned what I taught them by listening to their turn
and talks and their responses while sharing to the class. The students faces
as they lit up really were great! Everyone raised his or her hand to share.
After doing the last page and having the students eagerly reading and then
responding suing the reading prompts really showed me that they were
ready to practice on their own books. I noticed that they were very interested
in learning more about others books and what they reacted tothere were a
lot of interactions among the students. While walking around I had many
students want me to listen to their reactions and many wanted a challenge
so they tried more then one reaction to listand share As I was walking
around everyone wrote down the prompt as I had on my anchor chart and
then did a followed by their reaction. Next I would teach how to share
what you have learned from your reading and use it to share with others. I
say this because the students started to share what they were learning in
order to share why they reacted the way they did. My assessment procedure
was very informal. I chose to walk around and make mental notes of those
who I re-directed and what students were right on track. Majority of the
students had a great grip therefore it was simple to take note afterwards.
However, I understand that not every lesson will run as smoothly. I feel it
would have been great to have a checklist chart with their names and
criteria that I would be looking for. This would have been a good idea
because I could reflect and see where students are lacking and where I can
change my lessons and self-reflect. It would be a neat idea to take pictures of
the students work and keep them in the proper folders so I could look at not
only their reactions but their thinking, writing and conventions. The two
concepts work well with one another and students can bond and share books
of interest with each other.
Professional responsibilities: (AEA: Communication, Integrative
Interaction WTS: 1,2,6,7,9,10 DISP: Respect, Responsibility,
Reflection, Collaboration, Communication
Explain how you will apply what you learned from the feedback you received
on this lesson to teaching future lessons.
- When I get feedback I take it seriously and reference back to it for future
assignments. I will create a checklist to help me better assess the students
while they work toward their final reflection/answer. I will have the students
continue to have turn and talks and have an organized map of my lesson.
Having transitions memorized was very helpful because it made the flow of
ideas just blend smoothly.
Reflection: (AEA: Diagnosis WTS: 9 DISP: Reflection)
What did you learn about teaching an effective literacy lesson from this
teaching experience? How will it affect your planning for future teaching of
literacy? Explain how this lesson demonstrates your growth in ONE
Wisconsin Teaching Standard and ONE Alverno Education Ability. (Make sure
to state the WTS and AEA in your own words in your explanation.)
- I learned that it is very important to have yourself organized and prepared.
Feeling confident is a very essential. If you feel comfortable talking in front of
everyone and you know what you are teaching plus the learning objective-the lesson will be effective. For teaching future lessons I will take the set-up
of writing a lesson plan and use it over and over again because it helped me
organized my thoughts and examples. One Wisconsin Teaching Standard
that I have demonstrated is WTS #2 which can be described how students
develop cognitively, socially, emotionally and physically. It is important for the
teacher to understand this so they can support and encourage their students. A
classroom full of diversity calls for a teacher who can understand individual needs
and creates an environment that encourages interactions and discussions to prompt
students to listen and share ideas. I feel that I encouraged students to not only
read their book and use the prompt to create a reaction, but I encouraged them to
do multiple reactions and to share between themselves. I understand that some
children may not want to share in a big group but will share with a partner or two,
which was my reasoning for the last, and final turn and talk. Integrative interaction
can be defined as bringing the students together while creating a wellbalanced/focused classroom. Having a positive attitude, withitness and exceptional
demonstrating skills are great tools to help with integrating interactions within the
classroom. I feel that I demonstrated what it was I wanted them to do, and then
had them use my great tool [anchor chart] to use while writing their reactions. I
walked around making myself available for students who wanted to share or help
students to feel confident before they shared. I encouraged students if they had a
great example to share with the class.
Overall, I feel that this was one of my strongest lessons and I hope to continue to
improve
