The objective of the lesson was to Compare Earth's land features by using pictures and diagrams. Students were able to share their thoughts and ideas with each other. The lesson could have been more "hands-on" with pictures and mini-replicas of landforms.

Classroom: Aylett Grade: 3rd Curriculum Area: Science What I notice -
There are 20 students in the
class. Of the 20 students, 19 of them are African-American while the remainder is biracial. There are 9 girls and 11 boys in the class. Today, the objective is 3.E.2.2: Compare Earths land features by using pictures and diagrams. In the beginning of the lesson, my cooperating teacher, Mrs. Aylett, said to the class Weve been talking a lot about Earths different types of bodies of water. What if I told you that Earth has different types of landforms, too? What is a landform? Students raised their hands to share their thoughts. We then watched Landforms, a Brain Pop video that explained what a landform is and the different types of landforms. After the video, Mrs. Aylett told everyone to turn next to someone and tell them something that youve learned about landforms. I think that this was a great implementation of a ThinkPair-Share because everyone

Direct Instruction was
primarily used as the teacher taught and students responded. The Brain Pop video provided great information in a kidfriendly way. I think that students really enjoyed it. As I was observing, I was asking myself What ways could I teach this lesson in the future that gave children the chance to move around and explore? I wish that the lesson was more hands-on for this objective. Google Maps, pictures, mini-replicas of landforms would have been nice to see. During the observation, I was also trying to make a note of how my cooperating teacher managed the class throughout the lesson. I know that I am very soft spoken, so that might be an issue when I teach my lesson. What are some strategies that I can use to manage the class when I teach? I really loved the implementation of the ThinkPair-Share.
had the chance to share their
thoughts, which is better than only a few being called on to share with the class. After a few minutes, Mrs. Aylett then asked a few students to share what they learned with the class. Afterwards, Mrs. Aylett, passed out a worksheet for students to complete. While students were completing the worksheet, she walked around to monitor and observe them. Once she collected everyones worksheet, she reviewed the worksheet and its answers with the class to clear up any misunderstandings.
In connection to ELED 3221, I
would have to say that this lesson used Strands 1 and 4 of Science Learning: Strand 1understanding concepts, making connections and Strand 4: summing up ideas. There are 3 students who are struggling readers, so to accommodate them, Mrs. Aylett provided them with more time to complete the worksheet. If they needed more time, she allowed them to go to a quiet, secluded room to finish. Overall, I liked how engaged students were throughout the lesson. What I think that they got out of this lesson was the idea that Earth is made up of both bodies of water and landforms and that there are different types of each depending on the location.
