1. What steps did you go through to create this lesson? With whom did you talk, discuss, or edit your lesson? I discussed with my cooperating teacher about the lesson plan and what specific examples to include. Going along with the lesson topic she provided, I was able to form my own lesson plan.
2. How did the SOLs and Objectives help focus your instruction?
The SOL Objectives guided my focus on the points that needed to be made, and steered me in the right direction. 3. What parts of the instructional plan worked as you anticipated? I was anticipating that the Kahoot would not work as anticipated, because of the difficulty of the questions, but they knew all of the answers and were super excited to play! 4. What, if any, adjustments needed to be made once you began? The only adjustments I would make would be to make the lesson longer. I could have added a few more activities, but the lesson fit perfectly into their schedule. 5. How well did you anticipate the materials needed? The materials needed were well anticipated. For this lesson the students did not need anything except for their chromebooks for the Kahoot. 6. How effective was the assessment you chose to use? (If no assessment was used, what will the future assessment be and how will you gauge its effectiveness?) The Kahoot was the assessment and it was a fun way to gauge their comprehension of the lesson and the effectiveness of the lesson. 7. To what degree do you feel that this lesson was a success? What evidence do you have for the success of the lesson? (Hint: Student learning is the key to a lesson’s success!) The students at the end of the lesson had a great understanding of the topic. I could tell they comprehended the lesson when they understood the questions on their own on the Kahoot, and they kept asking questions to further understand what they did not comprehend.
8. How did the time spent preparing for your lesson contribute to its success? I spent time preparing this lesson over the weekend, trying to make this lesson engaging and fun for them to interact with. I felt that the students learn best when they have fun and so I spent time making a fun game while teaching them at the same time.
9. If you could do this lesson again with the same students, would you do anything differently? If so, what? If I could do this lesson again, I would have more questions prepared for them to understand the concept of the rise of demand leads to the decrease of supply and so forth.
10. Any last comments/reflections about your lesson?
This lesson was my favorite one to teach because I could relate the supply and demand of goods to the current pandemic, which they are living in, so they understood that connection well.
