2. Students will be able to successfully balance their pencil on its tip without it tipping over. Students will be able to create their own balance system. Students will be able to draw and label their balance system. 3. The assessment I used for this lesson were anecdotal notes in which I observed the students. I then had students draw and correctly label their system to show me that they understood what they did. Next time I do this lesson, I will not provide students with the words to label their system to see if they remember what we used and what we talked about during the lesson. 4. By looking at my anecdotal notes I was able to notice that most students were able to create their balance system. When looking over the performance assessment which was their illustration, I also noticed that students understood the concept of the lesson. At first students had trouble understanding how they could start their system but then everyone was able to complete them. 5. See Attachments. 6. For future instruction for the entire class I will try to get students to find different ways in which they can get their pencil to balance on its tip. Only a few students were able to accomplish this and others just found one way. 7. For the student work provided, I will focus on giving them more instruction on what he has to do, because he was distracted through most of the lesson. I will do my best to work one on one with Nathan if he needs further instruction, by providing other material that will help facilitate his learning.
