Lesson 1 Reflection

1. Positive Statement

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

For my Lesson 1 Presentation, I am most proud of the fact that I was able to say everything that I wanted to say. Furthermore, I am also proud that I was able to speak fluently and passionately about my topic and convey those feelings to my audience.

2. Questions to Consider
       a.     What assessment would you give yourself on your Lesson 1 Presentation (self-assessment)?

       AE       P-         AP       CR       NC

       b.     Explain why you deserve that grade using evidence from the Lesson 1 component contract.

I deserve a P- on this assignment. I believe that my justification and foundation were on the mark because I referenced my three sources throughout my presentation, had at least one published research source cited, and referenced my mentor and interview in my presentation; making me eligible for a P. However, my professionalism was a little off because I did look down at my notes a lot more than I should have, which greatly effected my eye contact with the audience, making me eligible for an AP. In the end, I think an average between the two is fair, landing me with a P-.


3. What worked for you in your Lesson 1?

A number of things went considerably well in my first lesson. For example, my voice was loud, clear and conveyed passion for my topic. I also cited all of the sources I needed to (along with my mentor's advice and expertise). 

4.  (What didn't work) If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your Lesson 1?

In the long term, I would've started this Lesson plan a week before the due date so I would've had more time to familiarize myself with the content of my lesson, work out any awkward or illogical transitions, and ultimately rehearse my lesson as a whole to avoid the use of note cards. As far as the short term concerned, I would've prepared all of my materials the night before so I wouldn't have had to leave anything out of my presentation.
