Assignment 3

My unit meets curriculum goals because in the 4th grade students must write different kinds of writings and poetry is one of them. The students need need to work on parts of speech such as verbs, adjectives, nouns. The students need to also be able to print legible.

I have high expectation for all of my lessons. I think all my students should be working at the best they can. I try to get all of the students involved in the lessons.

One of the instructional tool I used was a power point for the diamante poem. All of the students seemed like they were paying more attention because power points were not used in the past. One of the comments I heard from a student was "that's cool" " I like that" Also with the power point we were able to write a poem as a class and everyone was able to see it on the screen. I think it helps when students see examples but also do an example as a whole class.

example of low quality work is because the student did not finish the poem. Also it seems like the student did not quite understand the parts of speech we were working on.

The example of high quality work is because the student finished the poem. The student also had to write parts of speech in the correct part of the poem.
One of the assessment tools I used was a worksheet to write a diamante poem. I had the worksheet set up so the students knew what they were suppose to write on each line. I think most students got it once they knew what each part of speech was. The students who struggled the most were the ones who didn't know what a noun was for example.
