justify your level of achievement) The students were able to accomplish their
learning targets, but much of the other information pertaining to other aspects of
the original political parties seemed to be lost. While the important aspects of the
lesson were completed adequately, what else the students have retained is yet to
be seen.
2. What changes, omissions, or additions to the lesson would you make if
you were to teach again? If I were to reteach this lesson, I would lessen the
work load or make the lesson a two day lesson. Both of these changes
would allow us to spend more time on the importance aspects, rather than
rushing them through numerous activities. In essence these changes
would allow us to go slow to go fast.
3. What do you envision for the next lesson? (Continued practice, reteach
content, etc.) I envision well spend more time on our reflection to hone in the
importance of what we taught for this lesson, but other than that I don't see a
huge need for extensive reteach or continued practice. Moving forward, well
jump the unit to the present day in order to understand the intricacies of the
constitution.
