For this lesson we used technology, which is always risky because it may not work. along with the technology issue, we also had a time issue. All of this along with excitable students, became a bit chaotic... The lesson itself had a lot of parts to it, 2 worksheets, research, a powerpoint, presentation and a homework assignment. This was a lot to accomplish in an even shorter period of time then we were given, which is why things were rushed.
Along with these issues, there were some group problems. A lot of our lesson was planned last minute because things kept getting changed, which caused confusion on my part. We were also missing a group member.
The outcome of the lesson was OK, the students understood the concept and were able to explain what they learned. It was just a bit unorganized.
From this lesson I learned that I need to speak up a bit more in groups or I will be spoken over. Something else I learned is that modeling what you want to be done helps the students tremendously. Our modeling part was rushed and the students became a little confused on what was expected of them.
