What standards or LOs were being addressed in the lesson?
Students will able to know frog life cycle stages.

How did you cater for learners with special needs, and for differentiation?
For differentiation I gave each group different activity, for example, mastered students created
have frog picture that have long tongue. They draw the stages in order in the frog’s tongue.

For development students have a plate, frog pictures, colours and glues. Students draw and glue
the frog life cycle in the plate by using the colours and glue.

For emergent, student have a circle paper with colours. They draw and colour the frog stages.

How did you use positive reinforcement? Methods? For what?

I use positive reinforcement by said “good job” and the “smiley face” for the students that
participate in the classroom. To let the others, participate also.

How did you sequence or scaffold activities so that they built gradually towards the learning
objectives?
Each activity was linked to the lesson. I sat with my MST to ask her to help me on the activates.

reviewed the lesson they took last lesson about “the frog”. and then I asked them questions about
