Final Portfolio Submission

*Final Note:

Emina and Amanda,

All of the lesson plans that I modified with my group are posted under their specific lesson types in the "Cognition/Instructional Strategies/Planning" section.

The lessons that you should read separately from my group's lessons because I edited them after individual feedback are under: Algorithmic Lesson Plan and Discover-a-Relationship Lesson Plan. Within these posts I have specified which parts I specifically edited.

I also slightly changed the Unit Plan if you want to take a look (it is still very similar to my group's Unit Plan).

Thanks again for a great semester. I'll be seeing you both soon!

Based on comments and suggestions in class and from Emina/Amanda, the following are the parts of the group lesson plan that I have edited:

*Emina, I see what you mean about the definition of a variable, and how that could be a problem with this lesson plan since the values of the coins are not variables but are already determined. However, I don't think this lesson is a bad way to introduce this concept as long as we make sure to point this out and reiterate the idea of a variable/show other examples after the worksheet has been completed. Please also note the changes I made to the miniexperiment as I think that they address this issue.
I also understand your point about the balance scale problem on the reflection worksheet, and I agree that it was a little bit inconsistent with our lesson and could be confusing to students. I have modified it and think that it better fits the objective of our lesson now.
