__Reflect__

The artifacts, differentiation assignment and the primary 5E lesson plan, both show how important it is for a teacher to use multiple teaching techniques. Both artifacts are activities I completed as a student while learning how I could apply the activities to my future classroom. A classroom will have gifted students, struggling students, limited English speaking students, and average students; therefore, a teacher must use differentiation instruction and strategies so that all students can learn. By being able to accommodate all these learners, a teacher can assure his students' learning.


 * __Project__**

The artifacts, differentiation assignment and the primary 5E lesson plan, were assignments given to me by teaching professors. Their insight and focus on these two areas show significant importance to what we as future educators need to retain and in which we need to excel. We will be the ones developing lesson plans and selecting curriculum that we will be using first hand. Being able to distribute our teachings to all our students effectively will be the difficult part. However, by using and perfecting what we have learned we will be successful. Differentiation and the 5E lesson plan which breaks down instruction to the student's level is the key.
