Lesson Agenda
Prior Academic Learning and Prerequisite skills (Warm up): How will you support students in accessing prior
knowledge, personal, real world and/or cultural connections?
As an educator, one can perform individual checkins with students throughout the 3 class periods. This will allow
the educator and student to discuss prior information and draw connections for the project.

Tomorrow’s lesson is just more work time. However, on Thursday the project is due, and the students will have
an assessment through a competition/quiz on Thursday.
Other reflections:
(10/1/2018) This was my first time reflecting on how an educator introduces a project to a class. I am interested to
see how a multi-class period project goes in these class periods. The performance by some students is lacking in
effort and I am wondering if this individual work time enhances the class performance, or if the students hinder
themselves through a lack of effort.
(10/3/2018) Students were attempting to finish their projects in class, if not, they are taking it home and returning
it tomorrow. I walked around the room and talked with various students in 6th and 7th period. Some students felt
“great” about this project and others seemed uninterested or even worried.
