This chart shows me that each part of my lesson worked well. The activities were effective, and the students obtained the knowledge successfully. 3 students: A. The student that was most successful was Berenice. This may be because during the

instruction, she was sitting close enough to see the examples be done visually. Another reason may be because she is one of the harder working students in the class. She does not take bad or average grades likely. She loves to volunteer for answers and always strives for an A in everything she does. B. My low student is Camron. I chose the students based on work they have done and grades

they have been given since the start of my visits. Though he is my low student, he actually did great during this lesson. On his post-test, he made a perfect score. I think this success is due to the fact that he was also in good seating range to see every step of the instruction. I also think that Camron is stronger working with numbers. What he does not process is written out instruction, but numbers just make sense to him. C. My average student is Juan. He actually made a perfect score too. I think this is because

the content was taught in a fun way and kept his attention. Juan was actually sitting right beside the empty desk where I completed my instruction, so he got a front row seat and was able to see everything.

The chart shows me that the objectives and assessments in my lesson are working, but the activities need to build more independent strength. 3 students: A. Berenice was most successful, because she asked a lot of questions. She even asked to

hold the book for a closer look. She also took more time on the paper because she didnt have enough time on the day of the assessment. B. Camron was least successful because he used the words we used as a class for The Great

One. He wasnt really willing to try, and his proof did not match his traits. He didnt really seem focused during the lesson. What I would do differently is ask him a question to one, practice the content, and two, to get his attention and let him know that I see he is not focused. C. Juan was average in performance for this lesson. The traits he gave were correct, with

supporting evidence, but he used some of the same words as we did altogether. As long as the students had supporting proof it was fine, but I wanted the students to use different words, to see how good they are at working with character traits. What I would do differently is check work and ask, Is there another word on the list that means the same thing.

Scott 5 Lesson 3: Tribes of South Carolina Learning Objective- When given important information about the three tribes of South Carolina, students will be able to effectively recall, compare, and distinguish facts between the three. (80% accuracy)

Scott 6 The chart shows me that there was a bit of confusion. The students put forth effort in the activity, but they did not fully know the content they were presenting. 3 students: A. Berenice was the most successful because she used her study time wisely. She was quiet

and focused on the information she reviewed. Berenice takes her time to complete her work, she likes to read thoroughly and think about what the question is asking. B. Camron was least successful because he was not focused. He worked well with his group,

and even put forth much effort in adding information to the poster. His problem seems to be that he always needs someone. Whether it be the teacher, me, or another student, if someone else is leading him, he is completely fine. Once he is alone, he is zoned out. Out of ten questions, Camron only attempted to do three. Two out of the three were correct, and even the incorrect answer made sense. He just does not try. To fix this I would sit him beside me up front to complete his work. I will not help him because his habit needs to be broken, but what I will do is make sure he is on the task and encourage him that as long as he tries sincerely, he can do well and that being lazy keeps him from the good grades I know he can make. C. Juan was average. He also worked well with his group. For the assessment he got a few

incorrect, but he put forth effort. This may be because his group focused on one tribe, and that is where all of his review came from. Also, during the assessment, I noticed that Juan used the process of elimination. Whatever answers were left over, he made sure they didnt or did make perfect sense. So that he can improve, I will encourage him to look at the big picture and give more variety in all he does to really show what he knows.

Scott 7 Lesson 4: Food Chains Learning Objective- When given text, pictures, and diagrams, students will be able to summarize the organization of simple food chains as well as identify producers, consumers, and decomposers and their roles. (80% accuracy)

Scott 8 The chart shows me that the students actually learned a lot. It also shows me that the methods I used are successful.

3 students: A. Juan was actually the most successful in this lesson. This is because he was the most

engaged and attentive. I think the topic was very interesting to Juan, so he put forth great efforts and was truly eager to answer every question I asked. Even when others answered incorrectly, his hand was raised, ready, and he was willing to give help. B. Camron was the least successful in this lesson. I thought including him in the live food

chain would give some progress. He liked it, and it woke him up a little, but this did not show in his post-test. Although his assessment answers were not completely wrong, he still went left field with the rest of the food chain. He also spent most of his assessment time drawing on the paper. In order for Camron to do better, he needs to be called on more often. Even though he may not always now the content, if he knows he will more than likely be called on, he will be more attentive and focused. Hopefully the more attentive he is from the fear of being called on and unprepared, his focus will actually allow the content and knowledge to stick and be executed in his answers. C. After analyzing the facts, a few changes were made. Berenice is usually my high student,

but in this case she is the average. She still did very well, but Juan was exceptional. I think Berenice didnt come out on top this time because of the fear of answering questions. She is usually willing, but in this case my professor was present and most of the class laid low. If I notice a little sooner in the lesson, I would have recruited different volunteers, including Berenice.

Scott 9 Lesson 5: Problem Solving- Word Problems Learning Objective- When given two-step word problems using the four operations, students will be able to mentally compute and find the correct answer based on connections in the operations. (80%)

The graphs tell me that my students were confident as a group, but once they worked individually, they didnt have the content. This is where I would use class time for more practice on the content. 3 students: A. Berenice was the most successful in this lesson. She made a perfect score. One reason she

was successful is because she underlined what told the operation in each word problem. Another reason is that Berenice showed all of her work. She even used groups and counters for all of her multiplication and division. She used the given methods to her full advantage. B. Juan was the least successful in lesson. This is obviously because he did not underline

what he needed and he just wrote the problems out. He didnt use any methods to work out the problems. He attempted to do metal math although he has been told before that if mental math is done, an inverse operation has to be done to make sure the answer is correct. To help him succeed, I would practice more methods to work out problems with Juan.

Scott 11 C. Camron was the average student in the group, although compared to the entire class, his

grade is considered very low. Camron was more successful than Juan because he did show some work. He would have been better off if he showed all of his work, but he just doesnt put forth as much effort as the rest of the students. This is also because Camron did not underline the given words. To help him succeed, I would review the words in their journals that tell what operation is to be used, and also stress that he double checks his work, because most problems were minor, like not paying attention to the sign used or subtracting incorrectly.
