Students Background Knowledge What is your starting point what do the students already know, what have they done before, how does this connect to or
build on their existing knowledge?
- Students have knowledge of the creation story and that God created certain parts of the world in 7 days
- Students may have remembered the lesson from last week (21st) which was similarly set up
 Resources and Materials What materials and resources will you need to have prepared?
- Whiteboard to show example of how to write the expected work in their books
- Pencils and workbooks for students
- 1 copy of "To Know, Worship & Love - Prep/Kindergarten"

Student Teacher Focus What will you concentrate on yourself eg; classroom management, lesson flow, voice, positioning, engagement etc?
- Explaining the content to the students in an effective and engaging way
- Engaging the students in a way that encourages them to think of God's creations on a fundamental level (someone suggests circus, "did God create the
circus? If He didn't, what parts do you think He created? Maybe the animals or the people in the circus?")
- Controlling the class behaviour and noise level
- Being assertive and controlling the students to stop any calling out/misbehaviour
