so I could see what they knew but then I gave them the actual definition of classification so that if they got it right they could see that or if they did not know then they could refresh their memory on what it means to classify. Also I read the slides to the students with my voice although there was not a lot of text student were able to not only see but hear what I was trying to help them understand. || and vertebrates which is something the students have already learned and discussed so I began the lesson with doing something new combined with something they already know. I allowed the students to do multiple examples of classifying so that they could understand what it meant to classify and how to do it themselves. Also after students watch the video I ask them to tell me what they learned from the video so I can see what they did and did not comprehend so I know where they still need help. || animals into specific groups they were classifying them into they were still able to circle the animals that went in that category. || difficult with this lesson because it is not like there is one correct answer. As long as the student can provide a reasonable explanation for their answer then I cannot count it as wrong. So I would give feedback to the students after completing the activity but during the activity would be difficult. I would love to bring the class together after everyone has completed the activity to see where the differences were and so students can see that when classifying animals as long as you provide a reasonable explanation you can classify however you want. || to me or a video although they did have to listen to me talk for a bit then the students were able to interact which gets them involved and makes them apart of their learning. Also the video I showed is from BrainPop which included characters that they have seen before and therefore become more engaged since they already know the characters || being able to classify animals based on different categories. I would love to have students work in groups on this project so that they can offer guidance to one another; however I am not sure how that would work out if I am not able to observe students while they are working. || classify a group of animals they are required to explain why they believe that was the correct way to classify the animals. Also after the students watch the video I ask them to reflect on what they learned about each type of animal from the video. || media type="custom" key="21672164"

Also when students were circling the pictures to classify the animals I gave the instructions on the slide before but then wrote the instructions on the slide so they could see while they were working what they were supposed to be doing. ||
