4. Materials and Aids-
|
| I will use a PowerPoint to assist me with teaching by the use of
images and information that will benefit their learning. I will also
show a short video at the end of the lesson to show the process of
Artificial insemination in cattle. |
| |
|
5. Procedures/Methods-
|
|
A. Introduction-
1. I will start the lesson of my story about growing up on a dairy
farm and performing artificial insemination. Later on in the lesson
I will refer back to this story and tell the students how it improved
our herd greatly.
2.I will begin the PowerPoint with an overview of the history of artificial
insemination.
3.I will then move into why artificial insemination is used as opposed
to traditional breeding.
4.I will finally go into the tools used in artificial insemination
and how the process is carried out. |

|
|
B. Development-
I have included both terms to describe the process and pictures
so the students will get the full understanding of how artificial
insemination is performed.
|
| |
|
|
C. Practice-
| I did not have a hands on activity for this class. |
| |
|
|
D. Independent Practice-
1.I will supply a PowerPoint to make note taking easier.
2. I will also give a short quiz at the end of the lesson to evaluate
progress in learning.
|
| |
|
|
E. Accommodations (Differentiated Instruction)-
1.I will show a video so they will get a different perspective on
insemination and this video will show them the process of proper insemination.
. I will also bring an inseminating tool to give them a chance to
see and understand the tools in a more realistic way. |
| |
|
|
F. Checking for understanding-
1.I will stop to ask if there are any questions throughout the lesson
and I will give a chance for questions after the lesson.
2.I will also observe the class to see if they are understanding the
topic as I teach.
3. Finally, I will give a short quiz to see their understanding of
the lesson. |
| |
|
|
G. Closure-
1.I will ask if there are any questions on the lesson and then I
will show the video.
2. After the video, I will give them a short quiz. |
| |
|
6. Evaluation-
|
1.The students participated and asked questions with interest of
the topic.
2. They also scored well on their quizzes showing that they were paying
attention and learning. |
| |
|
7. Teacher Reflection-
|
| I believe this lesson was very informative to the students. Throughout
the class I saw the understanding on the students faces and they all
scored well on their quizzes showing me that they did learn. I believe
that making a PowerPoint and showing them a little bit of the process
also kept them interested in the subject. Showing them a video of
a processional inseminater also helped their understanding also. |
