After listing on the board what the students learned about Davy Crockett from the song. Teacher will read various passages of the “Who Was Davy Crockett?” book. After each passage, students will have to represent it through a Tableau ( motionless interpretation). After each tableau, the teacher will ask for the students to give the main fact they just learned about Davy Crockett and add it to the list.
Independent Practice: (15 minutes)
Students will be divided into 4 groups and will sit at their dry erase board tables. Teacher will ask them to reflect on a couple questions. They will first debate it within their group ( using a marker to write down their points of necessary), then share their thoughts with the whole class.

RTI 2:
Teacher will work with small groups of students (4 to 5) and distribute passages from the Davy Crockett book to study together. In Each passages, student will be asked to underline the words or sentences that depict Crockett’s personality in one color and accomplishments in another color.
Student will create a table with 2 columns ( one for personality, one for accomplishments) to write down those facts.
Teacher will then lead a discussion for the students to identify how his personality influenced his accomplishments.
RTI 3:
Teacher will work with one or two students at a time. Students will be given picture/representations of Davy Crockett’s accomplishments, and will have to write underneath what each pictures represent. Students will then be given another set of pictures representing characteristic of Davy Crockett’s personality such as him playing music for the troops, making them laugh. giving them blankets to stay warm and students will have to write a good behavior of Crockett that they can see on the
The overview of Davys life that Mr. McKee provides is relatively accurate, but once some outside research is done, there are a couple of details which vary greatly. One such example is from Davys childhood. McKee's article claims that Davy ran away from home and school at the age of twelve so as to avoid being punished
His teaching style deviated from verbally sharing the material or writing on the board alone. He resorted to punishments. He created a different culture that the students would have to follow. Through this, he increased class
The story features child characters who observe, but do not fully understand the uneasiness of the adult world of south Texas. Our young, unnamed narrator sets the tone by describing his home which is his grandfather's dirty, yellow, big-framed house. He also notes why his mother hated it. "They had fleas, she said." He goes on to render how the people of Jonesville-on-the-Grande became in sync with the routine on the post at Fort Jones. "At eight, the whistle from the post laundry sent us children off to school. The whole town stopped for lunch with the noon whistle, and aft...

A Comparison of Psychodynamic and Social Learning in Regards to the Development of Personality "No Works Cited" “Psychologists define personality in many ways, but common to all of the ways are two basic concepts, uniqueness and characteristic patterns of behaviour. We will define personality as the complex set of unique psychological qualities that influence an individuals characteristic patterns of behaviour across different situations and over time.” (Psychology In Life, Phillip .G. Zimbardo, page 509)
The assessment I have created is for my eighth grade history class. My edTPA class contains 21 students. At this point in the school year I was teaching the students about the Constitutional Convention. More specifically, for this assessment, we were learning about the major debates that took place during the Constitutional Convention. Those debates being; whether to adopt the Constitution or stay with the Articles of Confederation, whether representation should be equal for states or based on population, and whether slaves should or shouldn’t count towards a state’s representation. The main learning objective for this assessment was that SWBAT analyze different viewpoints of the Constitutional Convention through a three paragraph essay following
It is Saturday morning me and my brothers are sitting in a half circle around the television set. Our favorite Saturday morning matinee is about to come on. The music starts, we hear the opening lyrics, “Davy, Davy Crockett king of the wild frontier”. Excitement fills the air; we are bouncing around the house like a room full of super balls. The Adventure of Davy Crockett is coming on with a new episode. We are all claiming to be Davy Crockett and no one wants to be his sidekick.
One of the first steps on this list is “Write the problem on the board before the children enter the room. You hope they will take the bait” (Schulman 88). I liked this strategy because it immediately gives students something to think about and discuss with another classmate as they get ready for class to begin. This strategy can also help the students relax and get ready to learn if they are coming into the classroom for the first time that morning or right after a special. Writing a question on the board helps the students to adjust back to the classroom routine. These questions can also help determine the prior knowledge of the students in a class regarding a topic. For example, if a teacher writes an open ended question on the board, some students who are confident may respond to the question by raising their hand or by writing down their answer. A student who is less confident about the topic may stare blankly at the question and may not make an effort to even write the question down. Teachers can watch their students’ reactions to the questions to see if the students understand the topic or are confident about the
Ms. Smith was about to complete a unit about the first European explorers. She decided to give her students a research project to do in the class and at home. For the project the students were to pretend that they were a specific explorer. There were specific directions for the students to follow. Students had to create a map of at least three expectations, longitude and latitude of destinations, at least six journal entries, and other expectations of the project. The final project needed to be in a journal form and students were to present their final project. Students were given four and a half weeks in class, at home, and time during special area classes. There were due dates throughout the project. The students were expected to preplan around due dates to manage their time.
Shaw-Morgan’s classroom is well-decorated. As I mentioned before, she has a mem wall but also many other decorations on her walls. To illustrate, Ms. Shaw-Morgan has quotes hung up around the classroom. I think quotes are a wonderful thing to have because sometimes they inspire people. Along with memes and quotes, there are posters with helpful writing tips. These are very convenient because if I ever need help with writing, the posters can guide me with my work. Posters of rules can also be found in the classroom. These are a reminder to students who misbehave in class. It is easy to understand that Ms. Shaw-Morgan has done an amazing job decorating her
Together with the teacher and classmates, students are given the opportunity to speculate and question the world around them and the world awaiting them. Within small peer groups, for instance, students are encouraged to discuss, share, and compromise. The teacher is there to encourage this process, rather than to provide prescribed solutions. Similarly, the learning environment is collaborative and democratic, giving opportunities for all to speak their minds and receive feedback from peers as well as the teacher. This continuous loop of feedback, potentially positive or negative, serves as the means of assessment for problem-solving based instruction.
Group Discussion: I will then ask the class to share how they have determined which type of assessment to use in past lessons.
In the beginning I was hesitant of having four first graders working together to decide and agree on five items. While walking around and checking in with the groups I realized the students were working together and were talking through the ideas together. I thought this aspect of the lesson was a success because the students are in groups of higher-level students and lower-level students, as I walked around I heard the lower level students explaining their thinking and teaching the higher-level
Instead of having the same knowledge as every kid his age, Alexie reads Grapes of Wrath in kindergarten when other children are struggling through Dick and Jane” (496). Alexie dedicates himself to learning how to understand sentences and read at a really high level. Instead of being like other Indian children, Alexie teaches himself information that will lead him to be the best he can be. He was dedicated to learning and said, “I read books late into the night, and I can barely keep my eyes open” (496). The dedication he had was amazing because not many children at his age stayed up all night long just to read. Many children now stay up texting or watching their favorite TV shows. Alexie shows another point of view. By the information given in the essay, he is a boy who is dedicated to learning and increasing his
Teachers face with a lot of daily choice problems, such as, how classrooms and curriculums should be organized, how students' behaviors should be interpreted, how learning time can be protected, and others. Sometimes these problems seem to be so ordinary that, teacher need to solve the problem automatically. But in the teaching process there are also complicated choices about difficult problems that, if left unaddressed, often increasing. These difficult choices call for teachers to engage in sophisticated reflection (including self-reflection).
