Reflection

I honestly really enjoyed creating the lesson plan with Hannah! It was exciting to find ways to use the strategy we were teaching within the lesson. I think that our desire to guide our classmates through the second KWL was not as perfect as we had planned which I think was due to picking a random topic in a Math class. I think if we would have looked into the background of symmetry more, we could have given a more accurate example of what it would look like to use this strategy in math class while students have just learned multiple concepts relating to the topic that was in question. It was challenging to come up with guiding questions for the knowledge and want to learn columns, and I would definitely spend more time on that part specifically in the future. But overall, I truly think that Hannah and I worked really well together and had fun creating a lesson. Going through the powerpoint and discussing what points we wanted to highlight went really for both us together, and I believe we executed that effectively in class. However, answering comments that were made in class was more difficult than I had imagined. It was hard to know what to say after someone made a point that agreed with what we were talking about. It was just weird because I realized I didn't know what else to say other than 'yes, great point' with an awkward pause moving on to the next question. This is something I hope I will be able to learn and get better at is responding to what students say in class.
