Blog 11 - Lesson 1 Reflection

1. What are you most proud of in your lesson, and why?

• What I'm most proud of in my lesson is my hook activity, with my phonology cards.  I had a very hard time finding one and the one that I ended up  using engaged the audience a lot more than I had expected. 

2. What assessment would you give yourself on your lesson? Explain why you earned that grade using evidence from the component contract.

• I would give myself a P. I believe I earned a P because I made time, I spoke clearly and loudly, I cited 3 different articles, I used quotes from my mentor from interview 2, I believe my content flowed nicely with each other, and I spoke out to the class , making eye contact and making a connection with my audience for a majority of the time. 

3. If you could go back, what would you change about your lesson?  How can you use that knowledge to give a better Lesson 2?

• If I could go back I would make sure to have practiced presenting a lot more than I had. So that I didn't have to refer to my notes so often and so that I could stay making a connection with my audience more than I had. Also, I would be prepared with more props. I will use this knowledge for lesson 2 by practicing my presentation so many more times. Also, I will use  props, like charts or toys, so that the audience stays more interested and can be a little more involved. Like if I were to pass around the  toys and they could hold them in their hands or I had them do an activity with the toys.
