Grade: 3rd
Time of Day: 11:45-12:15
1. What steps did you go through to create this lesson? With whom did you talk, discuss, or edit your lesson?
To create this lesson plan we talked to our cooperating teachers about what topic they thought would be best and
discussed which day we would teach our lesson.
2. How did the SOLs and Objectives help focus your instruction?

It helped narrow down what exactly we needed the kids to learn about these Ancient civilizations such as their
contributions
3. What parts of the instructional plan worked as you anticipated?
The sort went the way that we thought it would.
4. What, if any, adjustments needed to be made once you began?
The clay was a little too messy and we should’ve planned for a day that we had more time to do the lesson plan.
5. How well did you anticipate the materials needed?
We had all materials needed, we should’ve just used different clay so it was not as messy.
6. How effective was the assessment you chose to use? (If no assessment was used, what will the future
assessment be and how will you gauge its effectiveness?)
We did not have time to get to the kahoot.
7. To what degree do you feel that this lesson was a success? What evidence do you have for the success of
the lesson? (Hint: Student learning is the key to a lesson’s success!)
I feel this lesson was a success because during the lesson the students would tell us fact that they knew about ancient
Rome and Greece.
8. How did the time spent preparing for your lesson contribute to it’s success?
The time spent preparing for the lesson made the lesson better and a success.
9. If you could do this lesson again with the same students, would you do anything differently? If so, what?
I would probably try to be more organized and time efficient. I would also try to be cleaner with the clay.
10. Any last comments/reflections about your lesson?
It was so much fun!
