1. State one objective and describe the ways in which your students met that objective. My objective was that my students will be able to illustrate what they want to do when they grow up after reviewing different community helpers. The students interacted with a community helpers SMART board activity. This gave the students different things that they can do when they grow up. The students were very creative and did wonderful illustrations of what they wanted to be when they grow up. 2. Describe how you sequenced the lesson so that your students were guided from their known experiences to new learning. I sequenced my lesson so that we began by reading a book about different community helpers just to introduce basic jobs in the community. Then we did a SMART board activity that gave clues about different jobs in the community and the students had to choose which helper did that job. This helped reinforce all of the community helpers we had learned about. During small group, the students were able to draw what they wanted to be when they grow up. 3. Describe the kind(s) of groupings you used and the effectiveness of your use of grouping. My students were group according to their developmental lessons. The groups are already prearranged for the classroom. I feel like for this lesson, I could have randomly chosen the groups so that the students could interact more with other students in the classroom. 4. Describe one way in which you addressed the individual needs of one child or a small group of children. The students worked at their own pace on my post assessment. Some children had an idea of what they wanted to be but needed help on different things they could draw to represent these professions. I should the student the book with the profession or would give them hints as to what that profession had to go along with it. 5. If your management of the lesson presented difficulties, what were they and how did you handle them? I felt as if this lesson went very well. The students did a wonderful job with the large group SMART board activity as well as their individual small group lessons. I did not need to make any arrangements for this lesson other than giving some of the students references for their job that they wanted to draw. 6. Describe your assessment process and the ways in which the process provided/did not provide you with an accurate evaluation of how well the children learned the content. For my pre-assessment, I asked the students what they wanted to be when they grew up. I wanted to see what they would say before we studied any of the community helpers. Then for my during assessment, I had

the students interact with the SMART board activity so that they could display the knowledge of the community helpers we discussed. For my post-assessment, I asked the students again what they wanted to be when they grew up. I wanted to see, after we studied different community helpers, if they answer would change from what it originally was. 7. Describe the manner in which your lesson addressed more than one of the developmental realms of the child. My students also had to use social development for this lesson. They communicated and worked together to answer the questions for the during assessment. Also during the post assessment, my students also were very vocal about what they wanted to be and really wanted to share their professions with the other students. 8. Identify the dimension of multicultural education (i.e., James Banks notion of content integration, knowledge construction, prejudice reduction, equity pedagogy, or empowering school culture) that was most critical for you to consider as you taught this lesson. Why do you believe your chosen dimension was most important for this learning experience? Since this was an EEDA lesson and it was important for me to incorporate different community helpers, it was very critical for me to focus on content integration. The students needed to be shown that they can do what they put their minds to and that they can be whatever they wanted to be. When Isaiah told me that he wanted to be the Kind of Happiness because he wanted to make everyone happy, I needed to embrace that and tell him that he could do that if he wanted to. 9. How would you rate your implementation of this lesson?

Very good

Satisfactory

Fair

Why would you rate your lesson this way? I feel as though the students really enjoyed this lesson because it showed them what they could do with their future. The students were very creative and drew wonderful pictures that depicted what their occupation said.
