Reflection On The Student's Preplanning Sheet

Superior Essays
For the focus lesson, I first returned the student’s preplanning sheets, which were “My family” bubble planning and “My small moment”. Since this was the second lesson, the students had already completed their planning sheets the day before. I gave feedback to students on these planning sheets and returned them to students at the beginning of the focus lesson. The first sheet of this was for the students to brainstorm and write ideas about their family members. The other sheet was “My small moment” sheet. This sheet gave students a chance to brainstorm and write ideas about a family story they may want to write about. Many students wrote about trips that they went on with their families on this sheet. I noticed that if students didn’t write about a trip, they seemed to …show more content…
I did a mini-lesson on this to show students how to take their ideas from “My small moment” and to create it into a beginning, middle, and end. Many students decided to talk about certain family members in each part of the story, so they would draw one family member in each of the parts on the “Draw it out” sheet. Some students decided to write about the things they did on their trip, so they drew what happened in the beginning of their trip, middle, and end. Students loved this part because they were able to take their ideas and put it into drawings. I have several students who struggle a bit with writing (D.C, A.C), so this gave them a chance to really express their ideas in the “Draw it out” portion. I felt as if they were able to get more from this than if there were being forced to write their beginning, middle, and end of their story already in the lesson thus far. Once students were finished, I would check their drawings to see if they had enough ideas to make a story. I then gave students the “Stretch it out” sheet. On this sheet, I instructed students to take what they drew in the beginning box of “Draw it out” and put it into words. They then would do the

    I personally have noticed many changes throughout this course. I mostly noticed how now I analyze my jobs more with my coworkers, bosses and myself. I have one job that I absolutely love and another one that I do not care for very much, I did not really understand why because I get along well with my coworkers and higher ups. As our course went on and I started to understand business some more I then realized why there were certain things that were shaping my views about my jobs. One big thing that I noticed was the team work at my jobs.…

    This semester, I enrolled in Early Childhood Education 350 (ECE) at Consumes River College, which transfers over to Sacramento State as Child Development 35F. ECE 350 is a course that incorporates lecture and fielded experience at a school site. I was a student volunteer at John Reith Elementary school for an AM and PM kindergarten class.

    Freshman year I started volunteering at Suncoast hospice; mainly because of the fact that I needed to build up my pre-med resume with healthcare experience but also because it was the only local health care related volunteer activity and transportation was an issue. Little did I know that taking on a challenge that would have such an impacting effect on my character and how I interpret the world. Through various activities ranging from baking cookies, making hand sewn comfort bears, to delivering groceries, and folding over 500 “thinking about you cards”; I have come to the realization that the ripple effect does not have any limitations, no matter how big or small one’s actions. Completing over 100 hours with hospice is an accomplishment…

    My second year of high school was difficult for me as I had taken on my first AP class and I had learned that my aunt had been diagnosed with cancer. That year took a toll on my grades, overall GPA, and class ranking, which all went down because I focused all of my attention solely on my one AP class. I would also be constantly worried about my aunt and I would catch myself drifting off just thinking about her, hoping that she was okay. Junior year, I was determined to obtain a higher GPA and a better class ranking, and as a result I would skip out on family events when I had homework to do…

    I am interested in returning as a FIG Peer Mentor for the Fall 2018 school year because I would like to continue to make differences in the lives of incoming students. This semester, I met a wonderful group of students; however, initially I was very hesitant because I constantly worried that I would not be able to perform to the best of my abilities as a mentor. While my students were in the College of Natural Sciences, they were very diverse; some had come in knowing what their major was, but many were either undeclared or looking to transfer to another college. Along with this, some students came in with many college credits while others were completely fresh to university life. Finding a common ground was very difficult with the students.…

It is also important to note that teachers do not need to mark and correct everything the students write.…

    After developing an introduction it is time to get to the main aspect of lesson planning, the learning activities. This is how a teacher presents the information and explains it to his or her class. It is important for teachers to plan multiple ways of explaining each topic in case the students are having difficulty grasping the information. The next is developing a way to test the students understanding whether it be asking them simple questions at the end of a lecture or creating an assignment for them to do. The last step to developing a lesson plan guideline is creating a conclusion and a preview for the next lesson.…
