    The document summarizes a lesson observation of a student teacher teaching a grade 3 class about habitats. It notes that the student teacher demonstrated professionalism, planning, and assessment skills, but could improve at implementing and managing learning. The lesson began with an engaging introduction to habitats using animals. Students then explored habitats through worksheets and a poster activity. A powerpoint provided explanations. The formative assessment was appropriate but the summative did not fully test the learning objectives. Areas for improvement included incorporating more higher-order thinking and student-centered activities developing science process skills. The next lesson should focus on more student-centered exploration.

    Engagement
    A relevant section that built gradually towards the day’s LOs.
    What’s your favourite animal? A variety of plastic animals were used and students were
    asked to identify them. Students were excited about this. The OHP was then used to
    introduce the term ‘habitat’. The video was then used to show the various types of
    habitats of different animals. Good building of the concept here. The questions after
    were pertinent to the video but it would have been useful to provide the answer to each
    question on a separate slide that gave a stronger visual of the answers to help students
    to better grasp the topic.

    Exploration
    The activities in this section were pertinent to the LOs and did help students to build a
    stronger understanding of the LO. Resources were well thought out. You should think about
    how it can be made more student-centred, more hands-on minds-on, and given students time
    to use more process skills. Maybe students could have been:
    1. given maybe data about animals who live in different habitats (like a reading), along
    with sticky pictures and a board, students would extract information and build a
    collage of the habitat and animals who live there.
    2. It is useful to link habitats and features of animals as well.
    3. Finally, asked to justify why they put each element in each habitat and to report this
    on a worksheet..
    Explanation
    A useful powerpoint that provided the responses to the varied worksheets/activities.

    Elaboration
    Useful information in the powerpoint that extended information about the different animals,
    Evaluation
    The formative evaluation was suited to the task.
    The summative assessment of describing an animal was fun but it is necessary to test the day’s LOs.
    Go back and look at what these were on your lesson plan.
    Generally
     Good planning
     Quality and relevant resources
     A good amount of recycling of the concept so that students had time to become
    familiar with it.
     Students had many opportunities to explore the concept in a variety of ways through
    the lesson including, the video, making the poster, investigating the model animals.
     Sequencing towards the LOs was relevant
    Areas for development:
     More higher ordered activities and questions.
     More student centred activities that use more science process skills.
     During seat work, help students towards the task by asking them what they understood or
    didn’t understand (not just the task, but the theory that was taught).
     Classroom management
    Focus for next lesson:
    More student-centred activities that use more science process skills during the exploration phase of
    the lesson.
