Name: Danielle DOnofrio Date: November 14th


1. To what extent were learning outcomes appropriate and achievable to your students?
Learning outcomes were achievable and obtained through the students ability to retain
the message from both books and apply it in the activity after.
2. How effective were your instructional strategies? What changes would you make in
your instructional approaches if you taught this lesson again? Why?
Our instructional strategies were effective, especially in gaining interest through the
specific books we chose. If I were to change anything it would be to incorporate more
standards from other subjects to make the activity stronger as a whole.
3. Evaluate the effectiveness of your oral and written communication with students.
(Consider how well you communicated learning objectives, clarity of directions, use of standard English, quality of
questions and effectiveness of discussion techniques.)
Both Anna and I were effective in keeping the students on task through class
discussion both throughout the reading and after the reading. If any of our students
had questions or were confused, we would address those thoughts before moving on
with the rest of the story.
4. Evaluate the level of student engagement in your lesson . (Consider how you presented the
content/skills, the activities and assignments for students, grouping of students, and structure and pacing of the
lesson.)
Students were very engaged, especially when they were given the opportunity to draw
a picture of what they had learned from the stories about kindness and respect.
5. How effectively did you use instructional materials, resources, and/or technology?
We were able to utilize resources from our biblionasium project for the story as well as
artistic materials for their drawings.
6. To what extent were your assessment strategies effective? What changes would you
make in your assessment approach if you taught this lesson again? Why?
Our assessment strategies were able to depict if the student comprehended the
purpose of the culturally relevant literature through a creative outlet of drawing a
picture. If I could add anything to the assessment, I would challenge them to write a
sentence at the bottom of their picture, to further explain their work.
7. To what extent was your feedback to students accurate, substantive, constructive,
specific, and/or timely?
Our feedback to our students was very constructive because Anna and I were able to
walk around the room and ask each student what example they were drawing to show
kindness and respect and get feedback from each student specifically.
8. To what extent did the classroom management and environment contribute to student
learning? (Consider your classroom procedures, your use of physical space, and the students conduct.)
Classroom management was imperative when giving directions and focusing on the
structure of the lesson. We wanted to ensure all students were focused on the lesson
itself.
9. Did you make modifications to your lesson plan during the lesson? If so, what were
they and what motivated these changes?
We modified how to explain certain elements of the stories, or vocabulary of the
stories, to ensure that they still understood the plot.
10. Was your Teaching Behavior Focus goal met?
Yes!
