Preparing for Lesson Development

1. What does your pre-assessment observation indicate about your
students needs and current performance and educational needs?
The students are learning about different animal classes and they have
already learned about mammals and fish. The students seem to learn better
when art is integrated into their lessons so they will make a bird using paper
and feathers.

2. How will you design the lesson to meet the needs of all learners in
your classroom? The students will e able to ask each other questions while
they are labeling their birds. The teacher will also be walking around to fix
any mistakes that the students might have made while labeling their bird.
