Second+Lesson+Taught+Reflection

Reflection on Lesson 2 This lesson I admittedly was extremely nervous about. I proved this by switching my objective and purpose when we were beginning the lesson. I was upset that I did this however, I was proud that I was able to recover quickly. I do wish I did not make that mistake. Once again, Lorien and I were co-teaching and I found I truly appreciated this. Lorien could tell that my mistake took me off guard and was able to pick up where I made the mistake. We worked through the lesson together and I couldn’t have been happier to have a partner at the time. We realized that we could have changed a few things in this lesson. One of those things was that we should have had a few designs of the map to show that the topic did not always have to be in the middle. This was brought up while the students were making their mind maps because some were trying to put their central idea to a different side. Most of the students did eventually understand the lesson and complete the mind maps properly. I was very excited because this was the first time this idea was brought up to the students and with Lorien and my teaching was able to complete the task. This will prepare them for their standardized testing in the future.
