The Patriots Are Coming!

Here is an example of a project I made. For this assignment I observed a Social Studies lesson in my Practicum classroom on the American Revolution. The main objective of the day's lesson was for the students to understand the advantages the British had over the Continentals during this period. While observing the lesson, I focused on the general information about the lesson including it's written description, and the issues of classroom management used by my cooperating teacher. I reflected on the lesson and shared some of my reactions as well. The format I've used is derived from a Dinah Zike paper folding technique, I just modified a few things and added my own creativity.
I have chosen to share this assignment because I am really proud of it's simplicity in composition. I believe that students take more ownership of what they learn when it can show in the quality of their work and its presentation. I've learned about this specific lesson and the teacher's impact from the observation, and learned more great techniques of creative teaching in creating this assignment.
