Flash Cards and Flow Charts
I will use the table arrangement of the classroom already because they are grouped in a way
that they have a more advanced student with some lower students so there is always one
student to help the others. Students complete the picture sort attached to the lesson in groups
with the help of myself. They will have to ask themselves questions about the characteristics of
living organisms and nonliving materials to determine where the flash cards belong in the
picture sort.
What Ifs
The flash cards may be a little hard at first to understand the concept of how to use them. I will
make certain to use these flash cards in our instruction as well. If this doesnt work I will use the
flash cards as a whole group activity. Since this whole class is IEP they may not pay attention
like they should so I will use more questions to draw them back in.

Analyzing Teaching
Worked/Didn't Worked
What worked?
The flash cards helped the students stay involved with the lesson.
What didnt?
Students got off track because it was Dr. Suess day and balloons were released at the
gym. They could see them from the class room so I had to regroup during the lesson.
For whom?
Adjustments
What instructional changes do you need to make as you prepare for the lesson tomorrow?
I need to have better ideas of gaining students attention for the unexpected scenarios. The
students were interested in the lesson they just had a small attention span.
Proposed Changes
If you could teach this lesson again to this group of students what changes would you make to
your instruction?
Whole group:
I would begin with more of an opener. We did a video but the students werent that interested in
this video.
Group of Students:
This part was fine for my instruction. The students were very interested while I was working with
them and enjoyed their lesson.
Individual Students:
The students worked well individually as they were writing in their journals. They were able to
draw pictures and write about their picture. They were able to express their ideas while still
learning the information they needed to learn for the standards.
