Differentiates the lesson to accommodate the needs of the students (with assistance of CT) (PC7)

Integrates ICT (as appropriate) in the design of the lesson (PC8)

Comments:
Thomas continues to use a variety of student centered strategies to ensure students are engaged in lessons effectively. Taking notes of the student's
ideas at the beginning of of the lesson involves the students directly and enables them to share and review previous knowledge.

The lesson plan shows thoughtful and reflective planning making sure to address the various needs of the students. In the development section of the
lesson, a great deal of thought was put into the activity.

Have you thought of introducing a brain break during the development in case the students need some time to re-energize their thoughts?

Great lesson!

Comments:

Thomas effectively and appropriately continues to maintain classroom routines. He makes an effort to
incorporate varied activities to his lesson.

Thomas consistently designs lessons around measurable objectives for student achievement. This lesson
was a review lesson, preparing the students for an upcoming test. Thomas created questions to review
concepts students had previously been taught. Directions given during the lesson were clear. Each step
was well explained.

When showing the students examples of their "question cards", it would be helpful for the students to see a
larger example of a question card written up on the white board.

The students responded well to the instructions given. Overall, the lesson was well executed.
