Personal-Emotional Comment under two classmate posts in a way that proves you have engaged with their responses. en-us 2020-08-25 18:05:22 UTC 2025-11-03 10:27:25 UTC hello@padlet.com tatel9 https://padlet.com/tatel9/vy3776s45zlmff2n/wish/698155721 2020-08-25 18:09:14 UTC https://padlet.com/tatel9/vy3776s45zlmff2n/wish/698155721 https://padlet.com/tatel9/vy3776s45zlmff2n/wish/701573962 1. Setting: Since we do not know how the classroom is set up in this class, I cannot give an adequate assessment of how I would change it. However, I would make sure that the students with vision or hearing problems sat at the front of the classroom, and students with a lower than average reading comprehension sit with students that can help them read. 
2. Content: Instead of covering the development and origins of slavery in the colonies as well as the difference between overt and passive resistance in one lesson, I would cover them in separate lessons. This way, the materials can be covered more thoroughly, and any concept the students are having issues with can be resolved and discussed. 
3. Materials: Instead of using only a computer, textbook, and a projector, I would use something that appeals to the three main learning styles: hands on, visual, and auditory, as well as whatever would help students based off of their IEPs. For hands on learners, I would have a worksheet or an activity to go along with the lesson. For auditory and visual learners, I would play a video that discusses the concepts covered in the lesson.
4. Instruction/Intervention: For the most part, I like the strategies used in this lesson plan, except for individual read. I feel like students will get bored easily and not want to read the passage(s). Instead of having them just read the passage, maybe have them do a fill-in-the-blank worksheet, read with a partner, or even make up a song that highlights the key concepts and will help the students remember the concepts covered. 
5. Management/Behavior: Some classroom management techniques I would use in my classroom are: Catch a Bubble, Ready Set Freeze, and some kind of rewards system. Catch a Bubble: When students are talking, tell them to catch a bubble and they fill their mouth with a "bubble" of air and stay quiet. Ready Set Freeze: The teacher says "ready, set, freeze" When the teacher gets to "freeze", the classroom stops what they are doing. A reward system that works very well is a whole class reward. One example is to write a reward on the board (like an ice cream party) and cover it up with index cards with simple tasks the students can do (like be quiet in line, be prepared for class when you walk in, and be quiet when a guest is in the classroom). When one of the tasks has been accomplished, take the index card off of the board. Once all of the cards are off, the students get the reward. 
6. Personal/Emotional: As a teacher, you should always be observing your students. Throughout the year, you should know your students well enough to notice when they are "off" or distracted. One way to get them back on task is to say a students name as you're presenting the lesson, if the child is distracted, not if you think it is something deeper than being off task. For instance, "Today we are learning about slavery and how it developed in the colonies, Susie." However, if you believe that your student is going through something, you could call them aside during a time when the other students are not in the room or while they are working on an assignment in order not to embarrass the student. Your classroom should aways be a safe space for your students, so they should not be afraid to talk to you about what is going on.]]> 2020-08-27 01:29:14 UTC https://padlet.com/tatel9/vy3776s45zlmff2n/wish/701573962 https://padlet.com/tatel9/vy3776s45zlmff2n/wish/701661237 1.) Setting: When having struggling students in the classroom whether it be hearing, eye sight, or reading problems, it is best to seat them towards the front. This way they can concentrate and understand better. It also good to seat them next to someone who isn't struggling to help them out if needed. 
2.) Content: Instead of having them choose 3 new learning, have them choose 1 or maybe 2.  In this lesson plan he is focusing on two objectives, the teacher could spread them throughout the week for the struggling learners. 
3.) Material: in this lesson plan I would add graphic organizers to promote a better understanding of slavery in the colonies and even split the class into groups to discuss it. 
4.) Instruction/ Intervention: instead of the kids reading on their own, have the students do a worksheet that goes along with the reading. Even have a video chosen to watch that goes along with the lesson. 
5.) Management/ Behavior: have set rules in the classroom such as cues that let the students know the room is to loud. Large sounds distract some struggling learners to focus on the lesson taught. 
6.) Personal Emotional: you will have children in you’re class that will have all kinds of emotion, such as shy, mad, sad, energetic, etc. I would suggest having an assignment that will make everyone will enjoy no matter what they are feeling. Children like playing games, it makes them feel they are involved in the classroom. An Example might be the game jeopardy! It’s also important paying attention to their feelings and how to address the situation. Such as calling a student that’s off to make sure they are paying attention or if it’s deeper than you think, talk to them after the lesson to make sure everything is okay with them. ]]> 2020-08-27 02:34:05 UTC https://padlet.com/tatel9/vy3776s45zlmff2n/wish/701661237 https://padlet.com/tatel9/vy3776s45zlmff2n/wish/702617116 1.) Setting: Since we don't really get a good grasp on the setting from this lesson plan we can't we make any accurate change to this aspect  of it.
2.) Content: Instead of just building of prior knowledge of the colonies the teacher should ask what the students already know about slavery and build from there.  
3.) Material: In this section I would add a short video that introduced the topic and then had the students talk about with their peers then talk then the class back together again.
4.)  Instruction/Intervention: Instead of having the students reading by themselves I would use the popcorn read strategy, that way you know they are actually reading the material and they won't get bored with it.
5.)Management/Behavior:  For this I use the strategies like "if you can hear me clap once" that way I know I have their attention. I would also have a reward system set for when my class is doing what they are suppose to or something extra special, like "classroom dollars" or "get out of homework passes". This would give the students a reason to work harder and get they work done faster.
6.) Personal/Emotional: When your a teacher you should be able to tell when your students are having an off day. You can straighten this behavior by telling your students to write about what they think a slave is while you go talk to that one student, and see why they are acting out and see if you can get them to straiten up without drawing attention to them. You can also threaten to take their "classroom dollars" from them if their behavior continues. If you have a child that you know acts out everyday then you probably won't pay much attention to them as you would someone who never acts out. But you still need to give them the chances as everyone else. ]]> 2020-08-27 14:46:43 UTC https://padlet.com/tatel9/vy3776s45zlmff2n/wish/702617116 hbrophy25 https://padlet.com/tatel9/vy3776s45zlmff2n/wish/703421720 1. Have a frequently changing seating chart, that can be adjusted at any time. This way student get to know each other better and the setting is more relaxing and more gets accomplished.
2. I think with any subject or topic discussed,  starting with the basics makes sure everyone is on the same page before moving forward. Then we will build until standards are met.
3. For this topic, I would create a timeline showing where the first slaves started, where they were located, and how slavery grew.
4. Instead of group reading, I would have the students split up into groups. Student will divide and conquer, each group given a different section in the chapter. Then we will come together and different groups will present their funding to the class.
5. I would be pretty easy going with behavior. Unless the student is posing a threat to other students or the learning environment. Then,I will handle the situation accordingly.
6. In my class I want my students to like my class and view me as a strong leader who they can tell anything to. I plan to get everything done that needs to be completed, and at the end of the day I want my students to take something bigger than a lesson from having me as a teacher. I want to plant strong morals In a young minds head and watch it grow.]]> 2020-08-27 18:19:49 UTC https://padlet.com/tatel9/vy3776s45zlmff2n/wish/703421720 cshear93 https://padlet.com/tatel9/vy3776s45zlmff2n/wish/704006022 1. The setting in a classroom is known mainly by the teacher, so knowing where the students are will determine how well students will due because we don't know the students it is hard to tell how you can change the setting for children. 

2.  The children should have a bell work that was questions about what they should have learned, so the teacher can see what all they know. If they know everything they need to then the teacher should continue to build on what everyone knows, and if they don't the teacher should rebuild on what they learned.

3. In this lesson plan I would tell show the kids some history of slavery , and how it had started with the slave trade.

4. Instead of having them read by themselves I would start reading, and then see who volunteers to read then when they are done I will let them pick someone else to read who has their hand raised. 

5. I would monitor and make sure they are on task while others are reading, and if they were well behaved I would reward them. 

6. When being the teacher you gotta keep your emotions out of class, but you need to have positive influence, and a good out look on the the students to see when they are happy or sad. I want students to look at me as a leader for them or even a friend that they can ask or talk to about their problems. ]]> 2020-08-27 23:20:57 UTC https://padlet.com/tatel9/vy3776s45zlmff2n/wish/704006022 https://padlet.com/tatel9/vy3776s45zlmff2n/wish/705546805 1. Setting: For the setting in this classroom i would allow them to sit wherever they want the first week just so you can see who cant focus near who . then make a seating chart where they can pay attention and thrive the most.
2. Content: For better content understanding for this class i would do the same thing Mr Tate. did in the lesson plan we was given in class. i would have bell work to refresh on what we did the day before and go over it. then if everyone was on the same page  then build on the lesson each day until completing that lesson.
3. Materials: material wise i feel like they would get the best visualization and understanding from actually seeing examples and hearing from peoples own experiences so i would show some videos to help them have a better understanding of slavery.
4. instruction/ intervention ; for instruction i would have them group up at the end of watching the videos to discuss there thoughts and then have them answer a exit ticket before they leave my classroom.
5. management; for managing my classroom i would treat them with respect and expect the same back. i would go over what i expected from them from a behavioral standpoint and hold each of them accountable to these expectations.
6. personal/emotional; from an emotional level i will always try to stay positive to my students and acknowledge all of them i want to try to make my classroom a place where they can feel love or joy. i want to make it somewhere they want to be for those who don't always feel that at home.]]> 2020-08-28 17:00:31 UTC https://padlet.com/tatel9/vy3776s45zlmff2n/wish/705546805 https://padlet.com/tatel9/vy3776s45zlmff2n/wish/706078621 1.Setting: For this classroom I would let the students sit wherever for a few days then make adjustments where needed. 
2. Content: If time permits I would break down the learning objectives to make sure every student understand and is ready to move forward. So here just work on slavery origins and then proceed to development of slavery in the colonies to bring both into greater detail for the students.
3. Materials: I think with today's technology a quick video on slavery with a discussion worksheet would help most students. Now if need be I could use a poster on slavery and have students physically move and point to certain time periods on the poster when asked a question to help them understand and keep them moving.
4. Instruction/Intervention: I would change individual reading to reading with peers. I would pair them in groups of two and i would handpick their partners that way students who need help can receive it.
5. Management/Behavior: I would have a set of rules on the wall somewhere and make sure that if a rule is broken I mean business. I need them to know that i'm easy going but there are rules to follow.
6. Personal Emotional: As a teacher i need to be a positive role model no matter the circumstance, after all we set the tone for the classroom. But with that in mind we need to be aware of our students behaviors as well. With this being an 8th grade class we need to be sure to let them know that its not the end of the world. We need to be a leader and inspire them to be great. ]]> 2020-08-28 20:18:10 UTC https://padlet.com/tatel9/vy3776s45zlmff2n/wish/706078621 https://padlet.com/tatel9/vy3776s45zlmff2n/wish/706915867

Setting: considering it is the 8th grade, I am a big fan of the open or flexible seating option. Different types of chairs and tables for the students to feel comfortable while they learn.

Content: for the “Bell Ringer” as my teachers said I would have the students complete the questions in the given time and them have them turn and talk about their answers before we discuss as a class.

Materials: my history teacher has us make these notebooks where they had a table of contents and we would tape in print offs of something regarding to the lesson. Each page was a different lesson we learned and the table of contents was to help us go  back when it was time to study for the test.

Instruction/Intervention: I would put the students into small groups to read the text and them put together their three new learnings. Then as a class each group will say what they learned from the test.

 Management/Behavior: for the small groups, I would put them together depending on how the students acted. During the activity I would walk around and make sue the students were on task.

Personal/Emotional: kepis a fun and positive environment in the classroom. As a teacher it is important to make learning as enjoyable and fun. Yes there are times to be serious like when taking a test but if you are all sitting in silence working on your own I feel like the material won’t stick as well.

Setting: Since we are unable to see the classroom visually, we are unable to get a feel for the setting of the area. Although, as a teacher we should know our students backgrounds and weaknesses with learning, so we should have any students with vision or hearing problems at the front of the classroom. 
2. Content:With every single idea new topics that come with every lesson, learning how to organize the material being taught is a challenge. Should all of the material be taught at once or should it be split up into two sessions. By looking at the lesson plan, my best plan would be to split up the ideas of origins and development into one day, and possibly lightly touch on our second topic of over and passive resistance. We do not wish to overload the students minds because we want the students to be energized and have their attention at all times.
3. Materials: Computers and textbooks are the general supplies needed in most classrooms, but take a chance with a more interesting approach. I would try a more hands on activity, maybe even based off a style of group work. In my honest opinion, The more exciting the activity means a greater impact on the students minds because they can remember specific facts due to that one activity.
4.  Instruction/Intervention: Whole group lectures are good for getting a lot of responses and ideas put on the classroom table. Turn and talks also let students get words out rather than sit the entire time feeling like they are forced not to talk. To disagree, read alone is hard because how much of a student's focus is kept on reading? What is the solution for student's who have reading problems? They need help, so maybe stray away from individual work at certain times.
5.  Management/Behavior: To try and keep good behavior within the classroom and for a higher age group, cell phone time or homework passes could be a good reward system for these students. These rewards can come from good deeds or accomplishing tasks in a mannerly fashion.
6.  Personal/Emotional:  The classroom is a place where all students should be comfortable and know their emotions are respected. Teachers will grow stronger in recognizing the emotions that their students are showing, and determining whether those emotions are positive, negative, or strange for their normal side. I would find certain ways or things to have my entire class do while I can slip out and have a quick conversation with a student who looks bothered.

2. Content: Review previous lessons that apply to slavery and slave revolt in the colonies. Make sure the magnitude of slavery is not understated. Include excerpts from writings of slaves and those that enslaved them for context.
3. Materials: Artist depictions of slave lodgings would be helpful to understand the scope of the lesson. Perhaps maps showing where and how the slave trade started and grew to.
4. Instruction/Intervention: I prefer a kind of interactive lecture where we do the reading together and discuss it together. History is something that can be interpreted different ways. It is important that they don't take the wrong lessons away from it.
5. Management/Behavior: Cold calling and letting those with an opinion participate with an environment free from judgement. History invites discussion and even wrong answers invite discussion.]]> 2020-08-30 18:30:18 UTC https://padlet.com/tatel9/vy3776s45zlmff2n/wish/707423380 https://padlet.com/tatel9/vy3776s45zlmff2n/wish/707684592

Setting: Have students with behavioral issues closer to the teacher desk to keep a close eye on them. Students with visual impairments can be placed closer to the front of the room so that they can see the board. Seating could be dynamic so that students could have a regular chair if they desired or yoga balls and stools.

Content: Bell ringers and exit tickets would be the best way to see how students are progressing within a lesson. Teachers will know if they need to instruct more on a portion of the lesson given or if it is okay to move on to the next content section. 

Materials: A notebook would be a great way to help students keep track on what they are learning. The teacher could make a cluster of notes and hand it out. As students are doing their reading, they could fill in any gaps that the note cluster would be missing. The students could then put the handout in a binder. 

Instruction: The teacher can go over previous knowledge from units before and ask students what they remember. This can lead them up to their content area for the day. After the group work is finished, the teacher can go around and ask each group what they had learned and if there was anything that stuck out to them. 

Management/Behavior: As stated before, students that do have behavioral issues will be placed closer to the teacher. Students that have a tendency to get in trouble need to be split up during group time and in plain sight so that the teacher can keep an eye on them Groups would be small (2-3 students per group). 

Personal-Emotional: It is important to maintain a positive atmosphere in the classroom, as the students will not learn if they feel uncomfortable. At the beginning of class, the teacher could start off with a silly video or a “joke of the day” to maintain an uplifting environment.

As the semester days go by I would make the appropriate seating adjustments to make sure that the students where all being able to pay attention and stay on topic.
2) Content: I would open each class with a quick bellringer to make sure the students retained previous information. Then I would continue to build off of the foundation that had been built. For history you would build off of the text or add new points of views. 
3) Materials:  The materials for this could range anywhere from stories out of historical journals to art and even documentary clips. This way it would hopefully cover every possible way to help the students intake the content. 
4) Instruction / Intervention: I would put the students into groups so that they could talk about the readings amongst themselves. I would do this because sometimes saying things in front of the class and a classmate saying them are two different things.  As the teacher I would walk around to each group making sure the students are on the right track. 
5)  Management/ Behavior:  I would make sure that the groups aren't getting carried away with their talking and make sure they are staying on topic. Let the students have conversations on the topic to form their own thoughts but not let them think of it incorrectly. 
6)  Personal/ Emotional: The students should always feel safe in the classroom. Safe physically, emotionally, and mentally. The students should be able to speak their opinions without fear of being ridiculed. The students should want to share their thoughts so that other students may be enlightened by one another. No two people think exactly alike so if everyone shares then everyone sees a topic from multiple points of view.]]> 2020-08-31 00:56:18 UTC https://padlet.com/tatel9/vy3776s45zlmff2n/wish/707706258 https://padlet.com/tatel9/vy3776s45zlmff2n/wish/707793147 1.) Setting- In my classroom, I will have seating arrangements when the students first walk into the room. Also, if there is any child that needs specific seating then they will get the accommodation they need.  
2.) Content- There will be a bell ringer of the stuff we talked about the day before, every time they walk into the class. Also, one question for the topic of the day. 
3.) Materials- When students walk into the classroom they will grab a calculator during class time. They will have a notebook that they take notes in, and they will get bi-weekly notebook checks to make sure they are on task. 
4.) Instruction/Intervention- During instruction time I will have the students give turn and talk and explain how to get the answer. Also, I will cold call on a student to come up to the board and work out a problem. Students also will be able to work in groups some days to help kids that are struggling, this is called peer-tutoring. 
5.) Management/Behavior- I will make sure students will stay on task during group time and instruction time.
6.) Personal/Emotional- When students come into my classroom they will know that my room is a safe zone and students can be themselves. If a student is struggling they should not be scared to ask for help in my classroom.]]> 2020-08-31 02:07:58 UTC https://padlet.com/tatel9/vy3776s45zlmff2n/wish/707793147 https://padlet.com/tatel9/vy3776s45zlmff2n/wish/707875366 Setting: I would be sure to know my students well enough to seat them in necessary spots. For example, if a child was hearing or vision impaired, seat them toward the front. If a child needed a specific partner for Give-One get-one to get the most out of the experience, I'd pair them appropriately.

Content: I feel as though the content itself should not be differentiated too much, as not to leave anything from history out. You may not need to go into too much detail with the many different origins as not to overload with information. It may be best to get the idea across rather than just memorizing cold facts.

Materials: I'd add more creative opportunities, like a thinking journal or something similar. A decorated classroom where you can refer to different time periods may help as well.

Instruction: Photos were a great visual for those learners. Kinesthetic learners were accounted for with the give/get. If there were something like a video, some children may gain more understanding! For more differentiation, I'd circulate and ensure individual students were comprehending all the reading.

Behavior: Make sure the groups are strategically formed to prevent misbehavior. I'd facilitate conversation to stay on task and stick to my class procedures in the case of any issues.

Personal/Emotional: Ensure students trust me and enjoy my class before they have to listen to me teach while also maintaining professionalism and a respectable attitude. ]]> 2020-08-31 03:16:27 UTC https://padlet.com/tatel9/vy3776s45zlmff2n/wish/707875366
