Ask class if they know Rudolf Steiner?
 Ask if they know what he contributed to education

other
3 Stations (21 min) PRACTICE (each station is 7 min long)
1- Video with directions to reflect in booklet
2- Article buddy read with directions to reflect in booklet
3- Journal reflection between pairs

Do they see it useful or not?
Overall, what did they think of the lesson?

Also plan how you will do the following:

Materials
Printed Article
Paper
Colored pencil
Stapler
Computer with video
Printed instructions
Differentiate instruction to meet learning needs
Variation of learning outlets- articles, internal thinking, pair reading
aloud, team reflection, watching video, listening to story and personal
reflection.
How will you engage all students to be thinking & processing important ideas
Students will directly draw/write in their booklet that they have just
made at each activity
They will also be working in pairs to bounce ideas off each other and
expand their individual knowledge
Effective questioning and direction giving that activates thinking and
engagement
Initial probing of Steiner/ Waldorf schema
Peer collaboration
Ability to articulate feelings and thoughts through drawing
Transitions and management strategies
 Set time for each phase.
Students will be given clear instruction as to who they are working with,
when, and where
I, as the teacher, will walk between stations to make sure everyone is
staying on task
