Title: Bridges Part 2 (Reflection) Unit #: STEM Engineering

4/28

Aim/Focus Question
Write out the Learning Objective from the Unit Plan

Learning Target: What have we learned from our bridges and what can we improve on next time?

Daily Learning Objectives/ Corresponding Assessments

Skills/Dispositions (SWBAT) Include the formative assessment or summative assessment that
Include the learning objectives specific to the lesson and correspond to each objective.
skills/dispositions from the Unit Plan.

Daily Learning Objectives: Corresponding Assessments:

- SWBAT reflect on a teamwork activity and - An honest conversation with the whole class
explain what worked and what didn’t
- SWBAT have a chance to provide feedback
to their student teacher on activities

Standards – Cut and paste full standards here.

K-2-ETS1-1 Ask questions, make observations, and gather information about a situation people want to
change (e.g., climate change) to define a simple problem that can be solved through the development of a
new or improved object or tool.
K-2-ETS1-2 Develop a simple sketch, drawing, or physical model to illustrate how the shape of an object
helps it function as needed to solve a given problem.
K-2-ETS1-3 Analyze data from tests of two objects designed to solve the same problem to compare the
strengths and weaknesses of how each performs

Beginning (Do Now/Opening/Hook)

Your beginning should engage students in the material for the day and be related to the objectives above. It is good to make your
beginning relevant to the students’ lives and to make an overt connection between the beginning and the Aim/objectives for the
day.

This is a shorter activity in which I want the class to reflect on their bridge building experience. I will bring
them to the rug and we will sit in a circle. I will ask each student three questions. “What went well? What
went bad? And if we did this again, what would you want to be different?”. Each student will get a chance to
share their answers and whoever starts we will continue down the circle until everyone has shared.

End/Conclusion of the Lesson

End each lesson together as a class to sum up the material for the day and bring the class back to the “Learning Objectives” and
“Aim” for the day. (For example, an “exit slip” or another short activity that brings the lesson full circle.)

My final question will be to ask if I should do this activity with my other classes once I become a full time
teacher and I will ask them to do “thumbs up, thumbs down, or thumbs middle”
 Materials
List any materials you need for the lesson.

- Just ourselves at the carpet

Differentiation
How will you differentiate your lesson for students based on the following:
Readiness, Interest, Learning Modality, Content, Process, and Product

- The ESL students still have to participate but can say whatever they are comfortable with
