Kinesthetic, visual and auditory) similar to my previous videotaped lesson. More accommodations could have been made for my students classified as special, and I also feel like I needed to provide more timely feedback to ensure mastery of the concepts I was teaching. These problems could have been alleviated with the use of guiding questions, answer choices, and graphic organizers. One strength I am proud to maintain is effective classroom management and the use of a guided inquiry lesson. These components made my lesson engaging, fun, and encouraged students to be more independent as I helped them build their knowledge about plants. What I missed in my lesson was informing the students of the purpose of the lesson and the activities I had planned for the lesson after going through my advance series. As I mentioned earlier, the teaching method I used was guided inquiry. At this stage, we not only encourage our students to be builders of their own knowledge, but we also encourage them to be more independent. Using this teaching method provides students with some practice in using inquiry processes. All in all, I have noticed many improvements in my teaching since my last videotaped lesson, but there are still some important things I need to work on: timely feedback and solutions to meet the needs of all my students.
