Name of Lesson Character Profile
Lesson # 2

Date 11/16/16

After teaching the lesson, analyze student performance and your

teaching
by responding to the following questions.**
To what extent did the students achieve the outcomes you
intended?
List specific EVIDENCE/DATA that provides information about student
learning.
Based off the students assessment, I believe they successfully reached the
objective that was intended to be met in the lesson. All of the students
achieved the SLO of creating a character for their adventure narrative. They
successfully gave them characteristics and practiced in their posts using
their voice to speak from their point of view. This will support their
development of their narrative. Having a good basis of their main character
an their personality will assist them as they write their adventure story.
Which of your instructional strategies were most effective in helping
your students learn? Explain how it was effective.
I think that the strategy of providing an example of my own character profile
that I created was the most effective in helping the students learn. While
students are aware of how to put a character in their story, showing an
example of an authentic creation of my own shows how they are expected to
go deeply with expressing their characters personality.
How did you provide instruction to accommodate student
needs/differentiation?
In order to provide instruction to accommodate the needs of students my
cooperating teacher and I became scribes for the students who needed it.
Due to a few students IEPs they require a scribe for writing. Also, to support
the students who were having any trouble I provided them with guiding
questions. For example, in the posts section they recieved guiding questions such as what
was your character thinking in the beginning middle and end of their adventure and how were
they feeling?
What have you learned from this lesson that will affect your
planning for the next or future lessons in the unit?
Identify any changes/adjustments you made during the lesson.
After teaching this lesson, I have learned the benefits of creating a sample
for the students to see what is expected of them. Sometimes, it is beneficial

to go off of what they want to create but for this activitiy it definitely helped
them to see an already created character profile. Also, a change for future
lessons would be in the differentiaition. Those who needed the guided
questions I ended up writing them down for them on a sticky note so they
could refer to them. To avoid that extra step and time, I would have provided
that to them from the start.
