If applicable, how does this lesson connect to the interests and cultural
backgrounds of your students?
This lesson connects to the interests of my students they will be able to relate their lives
and to a life of a pioneer child by making the schedule.
Differentiation is taking place in this lesson because my CT and I will be facilitating while
students are in group work, and if students are struggling we will be able to give them
the support and additional teaching the student needs.

I considered Vygotskys Zone of Proximal Development theory when planning this lesson.
By having differentiation within the table groups, the higher level students can help the
