1. What are you most proud of in your lesson and why?
- I am most proud of the poster I used as a prop and the content of my presentation. The poster was helpful for me to remind me of what I wanted to talk about, and was a nice visual for my audience to understand what I have been learning from my mentorship. In regards to the content of my presentation, I feel that it was very informative and I was able to cover all my bases in the allotted time.
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 at least a P for my first lesson, because I hit all the P requirements stated at the top of the contract. Also, I personally believe my research was clear and concise and I cited two of my sources (including my interview with my mentor.) Overall, I think I did what was asked of me, so it was a successful first lesson.
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 redo my first lesson, I would probably rehearse it the night before instead of accidentally falling asleep and winging it (in my defense, it's been a busy/tiring week). Rehearsing would force me to iron out what exactly I will be saying and in turn will help calm my nerves to give a better lesson in the future.
