Group 1: Eating well. I really enjoyed this presentation. They used an interesting polling website that I found could be very useful in the classroom. They also brought in concrete examples of healthy food as well as not so healthy food. It was very interesting when we all were able to look at lard. It was gross as well as educational. I have used Crisco before and know the texture, but it was interesting seeing the reactions on the other student's faces. I really enjoyed this presentation. DLT and SLT could be seen in their presentation. They used concrete examples of healthy food and not so healthy food. Also it was a discussion between peers and the presenter themselves.

Group 2: English homophones. This was fun to see how many people could think of different homophones. The lesson was not really concrete but they used SLT very well to inform their teaching. The riddles given at the beginning of the lesson were fun as well.


Group 3: Paper Bag Princess. This group use CLT  and SLT more to inform their lesson. They first started asking questions about what we believe respect was and how to show respect. They also keep active mental engagement while reading the book by asking questions about the book and what was going on while Cate was reading.


Group 4: Alphabet. This one got us to move around. This would be very helpful with children especially little ones who may have lots of energy in the end of the day. The use of finding and matching of the letters was fun and had to keep you thinking about where the letter could be and what the lower case looked like. Yes we are college students, but it was still something that we had to think about. Then using our peers as teammates through the race was influenced by SLT.

The lessons today all went rather well. Each group tended to use SLT a lot of the time and others did try to incorporate DLT, CLT, and BLT. I felt the presentation went smoothly today.
