How will this lesson allow for/encourage students to solve problems in divergent ways? They will talk about their findings with the rest of the group so if there are problems, they can work it out. How will you engage students in routinely reflecting on their learning? Every day, they will look back on their notebooks to review what has been going on in the butterflys life cycle. How will you adapt the various aspects of the lesson to differently-abeled students? They have the opportunity to work in groups so that What opportunities/activities will students be given to revise and improve their understandings and their work? They can look back on their life cycle picture books after seeing how other students created theirs to see if they wanted to make any improvements. What opportunities/activities will you provide for students to share their learning in this lesson? They will all be asked to share their picture books with the class. This gives each student the opportunity to get to know their classmates a little bit better as well as the teacher.
