does.
(include a photo of each stage)
First of all, after the morning
assembly, the science teacher
is greets students and she let
them work with the daily
warm-up board.
Greetings
The outcome is to identify
and apply a model about layers
of the rainforest.
The teacher explains what the
rainforest is. Where does the

What the Students do.

Students automatically
recognize what to do; they
solve the Science Daily
Question from the daily
warm-up board.
Students in 3rd grade can
read and think about the
answers. Because it is a
review strategy.
Students in whole class give
the teacher information
about their prior knowledge
and what did they think the
rainforest is located. How
the forest trees looks like
and how tall it is?
Comments
Document what you found interesting; any issues
that arose and how they were resolved; Would
you have taught any part of this lesson differently?
Students share their guessing. I think
my students are able to make a good
prediction and have a good prior
knowledge.
In this stage, students have the
opportunity to talk with each other
and work in their notebook by writing
the answers and share their thoughts
together.
Through this outcome, my MST
provides students with real pictures
and videos about Rainforest in Amazon
in (north America) specifically Brazil.

Students have about 20
minutes to do the

The thing that I like is that
students do not forget to
