Today's class started with discussing about things that need to be discussed. First on the list was fieldwork requirements. Second the list was the Inquiry LP design. We talked about how language arts and math are direct instruction lesson plans. Math lessons based on problem solving could be taught as an inquiry lesson. The three types of lesson instruction are direct, inquiry, and collaborate learning. Fieldwork was 8 hours. For those 8 hours we have to observe three times and write three reflections and one of the reflections has to be based on the lesson that you taught. The reflections have to be based on the MSMC format which mentions about what know, what did, and what you observed. Three reflections are going to be graded using the MSMC format. After we finished discussing about the requirements for fieldwork. We went back to talking about inquiry 5 E lesson plan. We as a class went over Jessica Wood's 5 E lesson plan on the Smart Board with my classmates asking questions. This was a great idea because it gave pointers, feedback, and guidance on how to write the different components of the 5 E lesson plan. I wrote notes as we were going over the 5 E lesson plan on each part of the 5 E lesson plan to help and guide me when I write my 5 E lesson plan.
It is important as a teacher to go over what is required in the class and also for the assignments like Dr. Smirnova did with this 5 E lesson plan. It is important for students to ask questions when they don't understand something. It is also very important that teachers answer questions that the students ask. It also is a good idea to go over the rubric with the students so there is not confusion about the assignment and the criteria for that assignment. It is a good idea to write down notes of what the teacher wants for an assignment because that can give you a better idea of what the teacher is looking for and can help you plan what your assignment should be about. This is what I learned from this class.
