- Instructional Decisions/Teaching (InTask Standard # 9): Discuss the implementation process and describe
- What went well and what didn't go well during the implementation of your lesson?
- The things that went well were the participation when making the "I can describe my popcorn" chart. Another thing that went well was the collages that they made on Pixie.
- The things that didn't go that well were the time frame, and I feel like I read the book to quickly for the students. Another thing that I should have done was buy butter popcorn ahead of time so that they didn't have to pretend it was butter popcorn and I could have used more examples for them to try and relate to their five senses.
- How well was the alignment to objectives and standards maintained?
- I think that I followed along with the objectives and standards well, although I think that I could have had the students share more and hear their thoughts and ideas on their five senses. If this would have been kindergarten, I would have spent more time and used more examples so that they fully understand the concept.
- Describe any modifications made during the implementation of the lesson
- I didn't really have to make any modifications during the implementation of my lesson but if I had students I probably would have had to speak louder and go more in depth in order to gain the comprehension and knowledge I was aiming for.
- Mechanics:
- What technologies did I use (for the teacher and the learner)? How were the technologies used (by whom and in what manner)?
- I used the smart board to make a chart that described our popcorn and then I used it to do an example of the pixie collage I was going to have them make.
- I had the students use their computers to use pixie to make collages after the lesson.
- My lesson was within the correct time frame
- It was short because I read the book way quicker than I would have if I was reading to actual kindergarteners. If I would slowed down I think I would have been perfectly on time or just within a couple minutes.
- Assessment of Learning (InTask Standard # 6): Refer to Assessing Student Learning
- Include at least 2 digital artifacts that demonstrate what you or your students (peers) have created as a result of your lesson
- Describe your students' level of success in achieving the standards and objectives for your lesson based on your assessment
- I think that the students were successful in achieving the standards and objectives because they were all able to accurately pair up a sense with something that they can use their sense for.
- Describe the level of success you had in teaching the lesson
- How do your individual reflections support this?
- I think the individual reflections support my success because I had some improvements that I could make next time.
- How do the comments from your classmates support this?
- I think my classmates gave similar comments as to what I gave myself about my lesson.
I created this blog to reflect on what I am learning throughout my last semester before student teaching. It will benefit me because I will be able to look back at my thoughts and feelings on different parts of education.

Kaitlyn,
ReplyDeleteThis is a nice reflection that demonstrate successes and areas for improvement. It's important as you reflect to consider both. Teachers need to celebrate the successes and continue to grow from the setbacks.
