Preparing for Lesson Development

1. What does your pre-assessment observation indicate about your
students needs and current performance and educational needs?
The students will continue to learn about the different animal classes. The
students have already learned about mammals. The students feel more
comfortable talking when they are in small groups so they will be talking with
their partners.

2. How will you design the lesson to meet the needs of all learners in
your classroom? The students will have an example to follow while they are
making their fish and if they get stuck they can ask their partner for help and
they can also ask the teacher for help.
