Lesson Plan 3 Reflection

1. Instructional Decisions/Teaching (InTask Standard # 9): Discuss the implementation process and describe
• What went well and what didn't go well during the implementation of your lesson?
• according to my peer review my lesson plan worked well for the average student but, they suggested I implement measures for students with disabilities. Also they thought that having some sort of hand out in which to take notes would've be great for when they had to craft presentations of their own.
• How well was the alignment to objectives and standards maintained?
• Fairly well. 
• Describe any modifications made during the implementation of the lesson.
• This time I stayed for faithful to the lesson plan. However, I was a little short on time at the end so I filled up the remaining 5 minutes or so with a documentary on the Mount St. Helens eruption of 1980. 
2. Mechanics:
   
   • What technologies did I use (for the teacher and the learner)? How were the technologies used (by whom and in what manner)?
   • I gave my initial presentation using Microsoft Power Point and added links to Youtube videos that depicted various types of eruptions. The students were asked to go on the internet and research a volcano of their choice, after which they would make a PowerPoint that addressed the topics I wanted them to present on.  
   • My lesson was within the correct time frame?
     • My lesson was short by about five minutes, the student presentations were a little shorter than I anticipated. However I was still able to use the time by rounding out the lesson with a documentary on Mt. St. Helens. 
3. Assessment of Learning (InTask Standard # 6): Refer to Assessing Student Learning

• Include at least 2 digital artifacts that demonstrate what you or your students (peers) have created as a result of your lesson.
• The picture of the road was from yellowstone and the student used it to descrobe the effects a volcano/volcanic area has on its surroundings.
• The other slide was taken from a student's presentation on Sunset Crater. I tells us what type of volcano it is, what type of eruption associated with the volcano, and further explains the eruption process.  
• Describe your students' level of success in achieving the standards and objectives for your lesson based on your assessment.
• Two out of the three students did quite well. However the one that didn't, got their vocabulary terms mixed up. This is a good reason to have had a volcano worksheet. If i were to do this lesson over I would have provide a handout that elaborates more on the vocab. 
• Describe the level of success you had in teaching the lesson.
  • From what I have gotten from my responses the lesson is quite appropriate for mainstream students. But I could do more for students with disabilities. Also having students take notes on the terms they learned during my introductory presentation would help them with their presentations that they do later.
