I enjoyed this activity because it gave me the opportunity to collaborate with my peers. I had ideas about activities that we could do, and they gave feedback and we were all able to come up with ideas together. Also, it was nice to get feedback from the class and Dr. Carnes about things that we could improve. I liked the pressure of having to do it in a short amount of time because it forced us to think quickly. It also taught me that lesson planning doesn't have to be a super long process, you just have to use meaningful activities.

This lesson was helpful because we were able to collaborate with our peers in order to create a lesson. As a teacher we are going to have to work in teams and work with others to create purposeful activities and lessons. I also think we will have different approaches to the same standard, as long as we get the information across to our students there is a lot of creativity that can go into even a quickly planned lesson.

I liked this activity because it gave me a chance to see what other people are doing with their lessons. It was reaffirming, in the sense that I feel a little bit more like I'm doing the right things in my classes. It was also a good exercise in collaboration, since we had to work together and communicate to finish the lesson plan. I would have liked to have seen a greater variety of indicators.

It would have been helpful if we did not all have the same indicator.

I loved this activity because it had the entire class engaged the entire time. Not only did it provide some content knowledge for us, but it also allowed for us to think quickly and use the materials that we were given to create a lesson.
We were required to include aspects such as Nature of Science, which related to our previous knowledge. It was beneficial for us to see Nature of Science come back in to play after our paper.

I really enjoyed this activity and found it useful. First and foremost because it had us planning a lesson which is always good to practice. I liked seeing how different groups came up with different ideas given the same indicator. Also how we were given students in our packet which led to grouping of students and shaping the lesson so that it would reach all of the students. I liked that we got to present our lesson plan and get feedback from our peers about what they liked or questions they had.

I liked the activity because it made us think under pressure and come up with different ideas. It was also cool to see how the same information could be interpreted differently and taught different ways.

I liked looking at the different perspectives that were for the same standard. It was very beneficial for us to be working in groups and collaborating. It makes me feel better about lesson plans when I have my own classroom. Usually it takes me an hour or more to get a lesson plan together on my own. i found a lot of benefit in this activity and I enjoyed it and found a lot of connection to how it can apply to us later down the road during our teaching career.

I found this activity extremely frustrating with time, but in a good way. I always struggle with being creative with a lesson plan. But, it is teaching me 1. obviously lessons take more than 30 minutes to create, but 2. you can get a general over view of a creative and fun lesson in a small amount of time. I like that it was challenging.

top teacher was a great way to see how in a short amount of time we can come together in groups and create multiple lesson plans all from the same indicator

From this activity, I realized that it is possible for us to plan meaningful lessons in as little as 30 minutes. Many of us struggle with the planning process and see it as a very lengthy time commitment.

I enjoyed seeing other students way of thinking.

top teacher was a great activity because it allowed us to work in a pressure situation to create a lesson plan on the fly. It also allowed us immediate feedback from our peers. as we have discussed several time the What in teaching is not important, it is the How that makes all the difference, and this allowed us an opportunity to take the same standard and make it our own

I felt that the activity gave all of us great ideas that we could incorporate into our classroom. Depending on what are expectations for the classroom are. It was also interesting to see how well we could all come up with lessons in a short amount of time. It was good to see how everybody thinks differently when it comes to our science standards.

I enjoyed working a the group. Even though many of us felt frustrated with the time limit but we did came up with a great plan. I believe that with more time, our plan can be refined. I also enjoyed and valued different aspects each group brought into the class.

The top teacher activity was useful because it gave us an opportunity to plan a lesson with others. It allowed us to think of different ideas. The time constraint was a positive thing because we had to think quickly and on our feet about what we would be doing throughout the lesson. I also think that me being in a 6th grade classroom, this is a lesson I could actually teach to my students.

Collaboration is helpful when planning a lesson. Being able to share ideas gives a broader perspective to draw from

I like how we could work together to make a lesson that allowed us to have multiple views on how to teach a topic. I thought that being able to have feedback from the class was also helpful as it forced us to have to explain why we did what we did. The only thing that I would change about this activity is that I think it would be interesting to give each group a different indicator

# data[].attributes.body
It was useful because it shows that good lesson plans don't necessary have to take days to plan. It also shows the importance of collaborating with other teachers to share ideas.

I love creating lesson plans and getting immediate feedback. The feedback from Dr. Carnes and my peers were helpful, particularly when Rachel brought up a great question about why we all use "Get Started" and "Exit Tickets" in our lesson plans. It helps to know where I stand in my planning (i.e. Do I think of good ideas?  Am I at the same level as my peers?).

However, it would have been very helpful if we had different indicators. It would have allowed us to get different ideas from each other, when the majority of groups today thought of similar activities to other groups.

I definitely liked this activity. I feel as if it was kind of helpful as far as learning how to plan a lesson with my peers. It was useful because it gave us several different lessons on one topic and taught us how to work together. Thank your wife for us! (:

I think that the biggest take away is that there are so many ways to approach our science standards. I thought the activity was great because we got to see how each group member thought through a lesson plan. I would allow for a silent reading time so that all 30 minutes can be used to plan instead of spending time reading the directions and materials.

# data[].attributes.body
I like the idea of lesson planning and seeing how other teachers think about their lessons, but I think that because of time constraints many of us had very similar lesson plan ideas so we didn't get to see the amount of different ways of thinking that I was hoping for.

I felt that the Top Teacher lesson plan gives us the insight and tools on how to plan a lesson in a shorter amount of time. This might be useful when having to make last minute changes to a lesson or having to create a lesson without much notice. I think that including the student cards was helpful in how we planned our instruction. I also found it helpful that we shared our lesson plans with the class, and were able to see others ideas about where they would take this indicator and how they would use it to guide their instruction and student engagement. The immediate feedback was helpful but we did not receive as much as the other groups. It was nice to hear their feedback and to be able to use that to guide my further instruction or planning. I also found it very helpful that you showed us an example of the hot/cold lesson plan and what you are looking for when we are doing ours and turning it in.
