Lesson 1 Reflection

1. Positive Statement

What are you most proud of in your Lesson 1 Presentation and why?

I liked how I got feedback on how I gave a lot of information and had good examples to explain them. I wanted to make sure I had good visuals because the behind the scenes of my topic are hard to explain without visuals since everything is very hands-on.

2. Questions to Consider

What assessment would you give yourself on your Lesson 1 Presentation? Explain why you deserve that grade using evidence from the Lesson 1 component contract.

I would give myself a P because even though I may have been a bit nervous during the presentation, I felt that I talked about everything I had planned to, had visuals, referenced my sources, made time (barely, but I did), and I turned in the rough draft and the final lesson plan on time.

3. What worked for you in your lesson?

I feel that my research (definitely my mentorship) helped me learn about my topic and explain some concepts during my presentations. Also, rehearsing helped me so much. The night before, I went through it four times to make it sounded right and everything flowed.

4. If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your Lesson 1?

Even though I practiced, being in front of the class is totally different.i was perfectly fine in the morning, and then right when they started, my heart started beating and it threw me off so much. Becasue it was our first big senior presentation,  I think it made everyone even more nervous. We should've have smaller, not-so-important presentations to get us used to talking about our project in front of a class. Now that we know what to expect, we can handle it better next time.
