Blog 13: Lesson 2 Reflection

1.What are you most proud of in your Lesson 2 Presentation and why?
 I'm proud that I was able to go up to present and present my information the best I can because I did something. I believe I got a somewhat good grade.

2. a.     What assessment would you give yourself on your Lesson 2 Presentation (self-assessment)?

         AP  

     b.     Explain why you deserve that grade using evidence from the Lesson 2 component contract.

 I think I deserve an AP because I forgot to present at least one printed research source and I didn't get a lot of student engagement. I also feel that I didn't go really in depth with how I came to my answer.

3. What worked for you in your Lesson 2?

 What worked for me in my lesson 2 was making use of my props and sorta engaging the class with my lesson.

4. What didn't work? If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your Lesson 2?

  Presenting my information didn't work well. If I had a time machine, I would want to make sure I slow myself down, watch my "um"s and "uh"s, and take a breather. I would make sure I get myself relaxed. I would also get treats for the class to motivate them to participate in my hook and activity.

5. What do you think your answer #2 is going to be?

 I think my answer #2 would be "To have the students' engage in play". One of my sources, "Heidemann, Sandra, and Debbie Hewitt. "Props and Peers: Learning the Basics of Play." Play: The Pathway from Theory to Practice", talks about how during play, children could observe and empathize playmates. Also, they could learn how to regulate their responses during play.
