During your full-time internship you will teach a sequence of three math lessons in your  class. One of the lessons should be "talk intensive" (refer to "The Tools of Classroom Talk" article we read earlier in the semester). Use at least one of the strategies described in the article to guide your planning and instruction. You should talk to your collaborating teacher about the content you will teach and when during your full time internship you will teach. Here are some of the options, choose one:

• Talk to your teacher about a mathematical topic that she/he would like for you to teach. Plan and teach three lessons related to this topic. Try to use something from one of the Investigation Books.
• Teach a sequence of three lessons that fit in with your teacher's instruction in math.

Plan your lesson using the lesson plan format we have been using for math that includes the launch, explore, and summarize components. Your teacher must review and sign your lesson plan at least two days prior to your teaching the lessons. I also am willing to provide feedback as you plan. You will include your original and revised lesson plan in your final product.

When you teach the lessons, collect examples of student work produced during the lessons. After you teach the lessons, interview 2 students (interview individually and try to select students that represent different levels of understanding) to gain insights about what they learned from the lessons. Write a detailed reflection that focuses on the following questions. You may also include other observations/insights about this experience.

• What went well? Why?
• What did not go well? Why?
• What would you do differently? Why?
• In the "talk intensive" lesson, which productive talk move ("The Tools of Classroom Talk") did you try? What went well? What do you need to improve? How did students respond?
• In what ways did you use what you know about your learners/students to help you plan your lessons?
• What did you learn about teaching from the experience?
• What did you learn about math curriculum for this grade level?
• What did you learn about learners in this grade level?
• What did your students seem to understand about the concept(s) you were teaching? What evidence supports your hypothesis? [e.g., use specific examples or copies of students’ work AND examples from interviews]
• What surprised you when you interviewed the 2 students? In what way was their understanding the same and different?
• What did the class as a group seem to understand? What evidence supports your hypothesis?

• the original lesson plans
• the revised lesson plans
• your reflection
• copies of student work
