Blog 10: EQ

I have reviewed the rule of three for writing an EQ

1.) no; there isn't enough to get deep research
2.) yes; its a correct format and it gives chance to get really good research
3.) yes; it provides a framework and it allows for a substance to be taken
4.) no; its not specific enough to get enough research

What is the most effective way to ensure a successful kindergarten classroom?

Blog 9: Lesson 1 Reflection

1. Positive statement
  What are you most proud of in your lesson 1 presentation and why?

    I was most proud at the fact that I was able to prove to everyone else and to myself that I know enough about my topic to be able to talk about it that much and with that much detail and without using any sort of technology. 

2. Questions to consider
  A. What assessment would you give yourself on your lesson 1 presentation (self-assessment)

     I would give myself a solid P.

  B. Explain why you deserve that grade using evidence from the lesson 1 component contract.

     I feel like I knew enough about my topic and I was able to give references and I gave facts. I talked about my research and about my mentorship too. I was also pretty professional.

3. What worked for you in your lesson 1?

     I think the way I designed my lesson plan helped me a lot because I spoke about one thing and gave examples for it and then I moved on to something else but it all flowed and it connected very well together. 

4. (What didn't work) If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your lesson 1?

     I would have made my lesson plan answer my EQ a bit more because my presentation was mainly about my topic and it didn't focus as much on answering my EQ as other presentations did.
