Case 4

I think I would be able to teach this lesson.  Most of the lesson is described in enough detail that I feel confident in my ability to teach it the way the teacher wants me to. 

The only unclear aspect of the lesson is the beginning.  The teacher says that she wants us to introduce the culture of Spain and present cultural differences.  This is the only step of the procedure that is not clear enough that I feel confident I could complete it to the level that the teacher wants me to.  If there was an outline of the information they wanted me to tell the students and differences that I should point out then I would feel confident in this step of the lesson.  The evaluation process is also open ended enough that I would feel bad for grading a student harshly since there isn’t a strict guideline.  If there was a more defined evaluation method, I would have no problem in marking a student down if they didn’t meet a criteria.

As I already mentioned, the only information that seems to be missing is information I need to present to the students about the culture of Spain and a more specific evaluation rubric.  If this information was included, I would be fully confident in carrying out the lesson to the teacher’s satisfaction.

This lesson could be improved by including the aspects mentioned to increase the accuracy that the lesson would be taught with.  With specific information about Spain’s culture and a grading rubric the lesson plan would be complete. 

I don’t see any other problems with the lesson plan.  The way it is laid out is easy to follow and logically separates the different aspects of the lesson i.e. learning objectives, materials, etc.
