Reflection

My lesson with Miss Pozo went well, considering we were the first ones to go! We met up a few times beforehand to talk about how we were going to teach and set up our methods for painting our sunsets as a class.

Our objectives were:

•         Students will be able to analyze and write a brief outline of the story.

•         Students will be able to identify new vocabulary words from the story.

•         Students will be able to create and share their own drawings on the story.

With regard to the objectives, I think that we were very successful. The most important thing we wanted the students to know was the concept of a story map, and while we had many distractions (Jose had a B O M B!!), we did a pretty good job! One thing to improve on would be to have the painting activity done a few students at a time or else someone will end up covered in paint...I don't want to have to explain to anyone's mom why their new shirt is blue.
