Analysis+of+Lesson+Planning+and+Impact

1. What did the students learn from your lesson? How do you know they learned from your lesson? (Attach assessment tools from the lesson.)
 * Analysis of Instructional Planning and Impact on Learning**
 * The students learned how to capitalize names and titles. You can view the assesment of this under lesson two, and under the page titled assessment.

2. What did you think about or consider when planning the lesson? (Be specific.)
 * I really considered how much they knew before I conducted the lesson. I was aware that most of the students would know to always capitalize "I", so I recognized that I would not have to focus on this sub-heading as much as some of the others. I also considered that the students were going to be excited that day for the speeches that were going to be presented to the school, so I made sure to keep in mind that they might get off task a little bit, so I made sure to re-evaluate my classroom management techniques.

3. What do you think was the most effective part of the lesson? Why?
 * The most effective part of the lesson was definitely the PowerPoint. This really allowed for better visualization of the different rules, and was more effective for the students to write these in their notes, than just looking at the text book.

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?
 * I followed my lesson plan to the t. Everything went smoothly, and following the lesson plan allowed this to happen.

5. Were the activities/materials/visuals/aids appropriate? Why? Why not?
 * Yes, the PowerPoint was extremely effective in allowing the students to take notes. Furthermore, putting illusions into the PowerPoint helped the students to stay focused, because then they were really excited to see the next ones.

6. What part or parts of your plan would you consider changing before teaching this lesson again?
 * I would make sure, during my bellringer to actually call on a student instead of just asking the group what they think the correct capitalizations should be. This way students who might not know, can get called on, instead of the same students hollering out the answers.

7. What do you see as your teaching strengths?
 * Probably my ability to relate to the students and my classroom management skills.

8. Identify a goal you would like to have your field-based supervisor assist you in achieving.
 * He really helped me to interact better with my students.
