Name: Sarah Hartwell and JW

1. Thoughts based upon last session’s reflection’s: Not needed for today

2. Overarching goal: Get to know the students and figure out what specific topic we want to
teach/study. Overall topic is space.

3. Outline of content to be included: No content yet, just asking questions and getting to
know the students.

4. Opening activities
a. Re-visitation of prior documentation: Not needed
b. Start off with a name game. (be in a circle) Have the students say their name
along with a dance move. Everyone repeats the name and the dance move. Keep
going with each student and teacher until we get to the end of the circle.

5. Possible activities to be included:

a. The name game.
b. Question time about what we know about space, what do we want to know more
about space, what specific topic, etc.
c. Concept mapping about information that we know
d. Have the students draw a picture about space and the topic that children want to
go more in depth about.

6. Possible questions to ask: What do we already know about space? What do you want to
know about space? (Are there stars and planets there? How do they float in space?)

7. References and sources-- List all: Nothing for today.

8. Materials-- List all: Big sheet of paper to write down answers and questions. Markers.
Post it notes (for the concept map?)

9. Assessment
a. How will you assess the children’s learning? --We will be assessing to see what
the student’s previous knowledge is going into teaching about space or the
specific topic that the students want to talk about.
b. When children are drawing pictures about space, we will have them draw a
picture about the topic they choose. They will only draw what they know so we
will be able to get a pre-assessment about what they already know.
