The first group to teach science!!!!

Group 1 did such a great job delivering their direct instruction. Even being the first group, I was very impressed! Their topic was to teach about the earth cycles, which was great to start out with. Students should be familiar with the earth's cycles before anything else! Group 1 was teaching  The students are going to be taught about the rotation of the earth, the axis, gravity, constellations, eclipse, ellipse, and stars. As the teacher taught the lesson, they asked questions to see what the students knew and remembered from what they were just taught. For their guided practice, students worked together to create sentence strips that helped them figure out the missing word based on what they were taught during the lesson. This was a great way for the students to collaborate ideas and discuss what word should fit into the blank. I do wish that the students Broughup their sentence strips and displayed it on the board for the whole class to see. Otherwise, I really liked this! the students moved on to a work sheet to work on independently. Something I would have done differently is have one of the students read aloud the directions. There was a lot of confusion and questions, but now your group knows for next time! :)
