REFLECTION & REVISION (This part is to be included in your daily reflections after teaching the lesson. How did I feel about my lesson today? If I feel successful, what did I see the students saying and doing that made me feel that way? What changes to tomorrow’s lesson need to be made as a result of today’s class):
Today was pretty successful. The kids were really hyper because St. Nick had come. Plus, the students were excited to illustrate their books. While one student was illustrating the book, the other students and I were discussing how to write a reflection. This went alright, but the students were more interested in the pictures than they were in actually writing the reflection. There was a lot of times when I would have to wait for the students to finish their side conversations. I told the students that it was their assignment and not mine, and that seemed to get them re-focused. The students were able to answer each prompt that I have for them, such as "What was your favorite part?" and "What did you learn about folktales?" The students and I had a very good discussion. It also helped that I said the person who could illustrate next would be one of my best listeners. They seemed to like that reward. I would definitely do this lesson again.
The major thing that I would change in the lesson would be classroom management. Instead of having the student draw by the rest of the students, I would have the student go draw somewhere else. This was too distracting for many students. Also, I would of had them do a drawing sheet for them to do for homework so that everyone would of had a chance to draw on the iPad. I am excited to give the students their books today.
