i. Some specific subject concepts and skills the student achieved for the identified grade
level is comprehension skills and focusing on imagery. Students have to comprehend
chapter one of Scat and search for imagery within the 3 main characters.
ii. The level of student engagement and active learning for the lesson strategies for the
instruction learning process are both active. Students are engaging with their groups and
going to the front of the class and talking. There is active learning because they are
searching in the book for imagery and interpreting it themselves.
iii. The strengths in my lesson plan are getting students to search in the book and determine
what is necessary, and getting them to work in groups. It is important that they have the
ability to come to a conclusion to what the characters look like and how their personalities
are. A weakness in my lesson plan was I feel my exit slip did not go along with everything
else that well, with this lesson plan specifically there is not a lot you can do in 5 minutes
to check individual learning for reading, next time I will write a more broad question.
iv. I practiced the INTASC standards in my lesson because students are getting learning
development skills. They are developing ideas and details towards characters, that will
later help them understand the plot of the story. Students are also using assessment skills
to make decisions and prioritize what is important.
