1) This lesson focuses on the listening, reading, writting and speaking comprehension levels of the students. They have activities that build up to the main lesson. The seperate activities encompass the different areas specifically and help the students in a fun way. This lesson is for high school students grades 9-12 who are at a begining/intermediate level. The skills targeted are overall comprehension of the language that focuses on a conversational level. The students are guided in feeling comfortable with the language being spoken and sang in different accents and at different accelerations. 2) Knowledge of Literacy- I am aware of the different development levels of literacy of the students. Knowledge of Standards and Assesment- I have put together a lesson plan that is time efficient and fullfills the Standards based curriculum for student learning. Knowledge of Content- I have full knowledge in the content within the lesson plan and I know how to efficiently present the information based on my knowledge. Knowledge of classroom and instructional management: I have made this lesson plan fullfilling to the students needs in order for them to have an interactive, safe and successfull classroom setting. Standard 6- This lesson plan caters to all different types of students and their learning abilities. This lesson includes visual, auditory, and verbal activities that can accomodate to the students needs. Standard 7- I have the knowledge of the technology that I will be using for this lesson and have made sure it will be full proof while I present it. Standard 8- I understand that my main goal in teaching is to support a higher learning enviroment for the students.This being said, I will focus on developing students into successfull, democratic individuals. 3) SmartBoard was an interesting technology to play around with, and I really like how hands-on it is. ALthough I had a lot of trouble with understanding all of it's abilities and depending on it to create my activities. I had some freezing up trouble on my computer and the program wouldnt let me connect to some of the links. 4) I would like to integrate lessons like the one I created into my classroom, because it is like a powerpoint and tv all in one. I can create more exciting lessons using this technology and I found out that movies can be shown on these boards. So combining everything using one piece of technology is really efficient in the classroom. 5) My personal level of comfort is at a medium level. I really like this technology and all of it's abilities, but I am not happy with spending a lot of time and trouble when there are technical difficulties that arise.
