Week 5: Tonight's Class

Tonight was a pretty good class. We went in detail about what our DOK questions should like in our lesson plans and I got to share a lesson plan with the class. I chose to share a lesson plan I had not shared already on my blog because I wanted to get additional feedback on a different lesson. :) I think this lesson was the best one I had created yet in terms of having all the components our lessons needed. I absolutely love getting to do lesson plans for any subject and grade level that we want to. It really helps me not stress as much about fitting it all together into one unit plan. I know others really like doing one thematic unit, but I like that this will help us to plan for when we are teaching our own classes. Some of us will be teaching all subjects everyday, so getting in this practice is very nice! :) Picking a grade level is nice as well because at the school I currently work at we have combined grade levels at all levels and currently only have 2 teachers to split up K-5th grade students. Our 6-12 graders are currently split up together into 3 classrooms. It's not the best set-up but we make it work with what we have. So again, this is just helping me to be able to prepare for what I really want to do.
