Lesson+One+Analysis+of+Instructional+Planning

1. What did the students learn from your lesson? How do you know they learned from your lesson? The students learned about Paul Revere's midnight ride and what happened after the ride was over. I know the students learned from my lesson because they were to write a response to "What would you do if you were arrested like Paul Revere?" The students were to be assessed on the completeness of their response and on their class participation in discussion.

2. What did you think about or consider when planning the lesson? I wanted to make sure that the students were not bored during the PowerPoint presentation so I made the PowerPoint short, simple, and to the point. I also puts pictures on the slides to try and keep them students focused on the presentation instead of sleeping.

3. What do you think was the most effective part of the lesson plan? I believe the most effective part of the lesson was having the students write the response because it got them to think outside the box and it also allowed them to put themselves in the shoes of Paul Revere. I believe the response will keep the students thinking about the topic long after class has been over because it stimulated the mind.

4. How closely did you follow your lesson plan? If you deviated from the lesson plan, what decisions did you make during the lesson and why? N/A

5. Were the activities/materials/visuals/aids appropriate? Why? Why not? Yes, the activities and visual aids were appriopriate because the presentation was neatly done and to the point. The activity was appropriate because it stimulated the students mind while keeping them on the subject of the lesson.

6. What part or parts of your plan would you consider changing before teaching this lesson again? I would re-vamp the PowerPoint because I do not feel it is a strong as it could possibly be.

7. What do you see as your teaching strengths? I become confident when I start my lesson and I believe I have good voice projection. I believe I get my point across without straying too far from the subject at hand.

8. Identify a goal you would like to have your field-based supervisor assist you in achieving. How to stop playing with my hands while I speak.
