Please add specific comments about the student teachers observed strengths during this teaching practicum
and identify areas in which you feel further development is necessary.

Observed Strengths: / Areas in which further development is needed:

Class rules and objectives were reviewed. The class
ran much smoother than last class.
Planning For Learning. Various activities were
used throughout the lesson.
Students were given an opportunity to
explore kinesthetically.
Planning for Learning The explore activity cant be a video.
It must be an activity for students to explore the concept
kinestically.
Managing Learning you must review your explanation to
the students. Students must understand why different phases
of the moon occur and not simply one side is darker and the
other is white. One of your question was why is this picture
third quarter of the moon? The answer provided was one side
is dark and the other is white. First grade students have a very
short attention span and they spent more than 20 minutes
listening to you lecturing.
Purpose of Activities The purpose of the activities were
unclear. For instance, students were given the materials to
replicate the diagram on the board. How does that help the
students understand the different phases of the moon? The
students understand the new moon as a black moon and that is
for away from the truth.

General Comments:

You have created these beautiful stories and activities for the students. They all enjoyed completing these activities. However,
the information provided were very superficial. The reasons for these phases were never addressed. The students
understanding of a new moon is that its dark and a new moon as white. The instructions were not very explicit and
understanding was a minimum.
