LauraEvans-SuccessfulLesson

This semester, I have taught more lessons than ever before since I am full time teaching in the classroom. There have been lessons that went great and lessons that I felt could have been better. I taught a unit on respect, I used several means of technology throughout it and the students always enjoy that. To discuss diversity, we read a story called Hello World where we learned how to say, "hello" in many different languages. As we did this, we located that specific country on the map. The students were fully engaged and liked to see the world map and learn about people from other parts of the world. Another lesson that went well was one that I taught on the five senses. The students explored their senses through using an apple. They were able to feel, touch, see, taste, and hear when they crunched down on it. The students were engaged and excited to discuss the senses while using the apple because they could really get a hands on approach to it. I have found that most of my lessons work best when I incorperate technology and lots of movement.
