    This document summarizes a classroom observation of a 7th grade ELA class. The observer noted that the teacher used CHAMPS, cooperative learning, high-level questioning, and differentiated materials during instruction. Students worked independently and in pairs on writing tasks about analyzing celebrity endorsements in advertisements. The teacher monitored students, provided feedback, and students shared their writing with peers at the end of the lesson. In his reflection, the teacher explained that students analyzed ads and wrote paragraphs about celebrity endorsements. He felt most students met the objectives but may modify with online activities next time.

    Please complete the teacher reflection section within 48 hours of receiving this document and email it back to your
    observer. We will meet to discuss your observation.
    Please explain lesson objectives and anticipated learner outcomes of the lesson.
    The students will be able to analyze advertising for commonly used products and identify their target buyers. Evaluate and write an expository paragraph
    about
    the impact of celebrity endorsements on product purchases.





    How was this lesson modified for different learners?
    looked through different examples of advertisements and choose which one to write about.
    Students





    How often was the objective shared with the students? Beginning? Middle? End?

    Objective
    was shared at the beginning of class, subtly before we started our main assignment of the day and as closure at the end.





    Why do you feel that the needs of all learners were met?
    that most every student met the learning objective today, but I will again assess this skill later in the unit to see if everyone retains the skills.
    I feel





    Would you do anything differently if you were teaching this lesson again tomorrow? Why? Why not?
    try to use another method of differentiation, perhaps an online scavenger hut for advertisements that use celebrity endorsements. That might be an
    I would
    activity
    that the students may find more fun, and learn at the same time.
