for some.
2. Why did you decide to use these instructional strategies,
this material, this grouping strategy? In other words,
why teach this lesson this way?
I am teaching this lesson as a full group because I think it will
be a good opportunity for the children to talk with one another
and feel comfortable trying new things. I think especially for
the ESL learners it will be beneficial to have all their peers
doing the same thing. I will try to make the directions explicit
to the children so they understand what is expected. I think
asking questions, having discussions, and modeling will allow
the children to be engaged and willing to participate.
3. Why did you decide to assess learning in the way you
did? What evidence will this assessment strategy give
you about the level of student learning?
I decided to choose observation as one form of assessment.
Because this lesson is engaging, I will be able to see how the
students are interacting during the taste testing. I will be able
to assess the learning through facial expressions and
conversation. I incorporated the poster of having the children
place their name on their favorite flavor to ensure
understanding. This will reassure that the students understand
different foods have different flavors, and that we all have
different perspectives and taste buds.

the content or have an advanced
understanding)
I will thank the students for trying new flavors. I will tell them
its important to be open to trying new things even if we dont
like them because its important to have an open mind. I will
inform them that our taste buds on our tongues can taste all
these different flavors bitter, sweet, sour, and salty.
I will allow students who do not want to try the bakers
chocolate or a different food to pass. I will just encourage them
to talk to a classmate about the flavor. I will have students who
may not follow directions to sit by me. I will encourage an open
discussion of the flavors, especially for those who have not
tried some of the foods or experienced some of the flavors (i.e.
sour, bitter.)
Self-Reflection

students understanding relative to
the objectives? What worked, did
not work? What adjustments
might be made in the future?)
