Lesson Implentation

This week when implementing my lesson plan I quickly realized that it was ambitious for my second graders.  We began by looking at a website that shows how earthquakes happen.  I then had students build their own model.  The model gave students the opportunity to have a hands on experience.  They were able to move the pieces to create their own earthquakes and shifting plates.  Although it was a great learning experience many of my students still discussed how confused they were on the subject.  I realized that although my lesson was a great idea on paper, it was a little too difficult for my students.
