Jacob: I liked your lesson on figurative language. The handout is great and honestly I had fun doing it myself! I love that you will have them have a discussion at the end of the lesson. It helps those students who may have not understood the differences between figurative language. It also gets students thinking of different ideas than what they may have interpreted it. 

Allison: I liked your idea of retelling the story with pictures. I like how you let the students know what you did last time so they can recall and use that information to help with the picture retelling. I would be able to modify this lesson for my early childhood SPED students very easily. 

Miranda: What a fun lesson for Math! I have always been afraid of anything that has to do with math and this lesson would be fun. I like how you applied counting coins to real life experience for the students. I love that you used food because everyone eats.

Scott: I liked your lesson on history. I am ashamed to say that I don't remember all the amendments (only if I had this lesson when I was in school-haha!) I like having group projects but with one other person because sometimes more than one other person can get hard to delegate tasks with! Great job!

Kim: I liked your lesson on punctuation. I still don't use the correct punctuation and I'm an adult 🤦🤦 The punctuation song was fun too. I remember watching school house rock videos as a kid and those are always fun to learn as well.

You all did a wonderful job and will be excellent future educators!

Formative vs Performance Task

A  performance task  is any learning activity or  assessment  that asks students to perform to demonstrate their knowledge, understanding and proficiency. ( https://blog.performancetask.com/what-is-a-performance-task-part-1-9fa0d99ead3b ) Formative assessment  refers to a wide variety of methods that teachers use to conduct in-process evaluations of student comprehension, learning needs, and academic progress during a lesson, unit, or course. ( https://www.edglossary.org/formative-assessment/ ) Formative tasks are good for seeing growth over time while performance tasks (or assessments) are good for assessing the mastery of the unit or tasks. An example of a formative assessment is  student and teacher discussions, journals and homework. An example of a performance task is tests such as teacher created or multiple choice and capstone projects.

Thinking Maps

This week we talked about Thinking Maps. Thinking Maps are eight different diagram types that use common language for thinking strategies. You can read more about Thinking Maps here html Types of Thinking Maps I personally will enjoy doing lessons with Thinking Maps. I am a visual learner and I think that these will help engage students and also help work together. As an early childhood SPED teacher I plan to use Thinking Maps with pictures and simple words. Pinterest is a blessing to teachers (thank you technology!) and I've enjoyed looking at ideas for thinking Maps for preschoolers. We do a lot of references to our theme (usually a book) in our larger group, small group and snack time. At small group we've done simple sequences and I never knew that was a Thinking map until now! We've also used tree maps to distinguish our feelings or what types of apples we like or even what shoes we are wearing (Thanks to Pete the Cat!) Personally, I use Thinking Maps when I jou...
