Lesson 9 - Sarah Holgado

Our primary focus this week was differentiated instruction and co-teaching. On our preparation day, we were assigned to watch two videos and read chapter 9 in the text. We created a concept map of the information we read about and watched and then reviewed each others. On Monday, we were split into groups to determine what skill we would teach another group. We had to collaborate our ideas and devise a plan. We decided to teach the others how to peel/cut an orange in different ways. We conducted a pre-assessment by asking them to demonstrate how they normally peel an orange. Then we demonstrated the different ways and conducted a post-assessment by asking them to do it themselves. Through this activity, I learned how to work with the other members of my group and then how to teach the same concept to two separate groups.
