Students began by drawing one of the tectonic plates on their name tent and writing their names on
top. The technology for the video wouldn't work. Ms. Akinpelu adjusted by asking the questions that
she knew were on the video. Students worked on a Frayer Model vocabulary worksheet. They
completed the lesson with numbered sticky notes that corresponded with noted plate boundaries on
the board. Students were to name the two plates, their types, and what happens if they come
together or separate.

REFLECTION:
Clinical teacher’s greatest strength:

The technology did not work so that the website couldn't come up. Ms. Akinpelu did a great work
around.
Ms. Akinpelu has a great attitude, and she is always smiling. Her persona exudes energy! It was
interesting to note in the questioning about which continents are located in specific plates that
students do not know the names and location of the continents.

Clinical teacher’s greatest challenge:

Tectonic plates did not seem to be one of the students' favorite subjects. It took a lot of probing
questions to get responses, especially since there were so few students.

Recommendations/Next Steps/Goals:

Make sure you have a plan B for when the technology does work. The 5E teach model should
encourage more interaction by students next time.

I enjoyed your energy and positive attitude even when things didn't seem to go as you had planned.
This will work well for you in the future because the unexpected is always happening!!

I look forward to seeing your next Teach.
