2. Analyze Learners
General Characteristics:
Fourth Grade
o Twenty-two students
o Thirteen girls
o Nine boys
o Ages 8-9
o Three African Americans
o Two ADHD students
Learning Styles: I will incorporate a variety of teaching
methods, such as the implementation of songs, videos,
and a class read aloud (for my audio-visual learners) and
the utilization of role play and group projects (which
should appeal to my kinesthetic learners as well as my
students with ADHD). In addition, I will also incorporate a
variety of charts, maps, and other visual aids so that my
students can mentally categorize the information covered
in class.
