Preparing for Lesson Development

1. What does your pre-assessment observation indicate about your
students needs and current performance and educational needs?
The students love animals and also love to read books with animals as the
main characters. The students will love to learn more about animals and the
diferent types of animals that there are.

2. How will you design the lesson to meet the needs of all learners in
your classroom? The students will be working on their own for the quiz
about mammals but the question will be read aloud so that all students know
what they need to be answering. When students are talking with their
partners they will each have a chance to give their opinion on where the
mammal should live.
