I am most proud of the fact that I was energetic during my presentation. Some of peers' presentations were not engaging due to the fact that they displayed a monotone voice or seem uninterested about their topic. I am proud that I was able to catch most of my audience's attention.
2. What assessment would you give yourself on your lesson? Explain why you earned that grade using evidence from the component contract.
I would give myself a P on my lesson. I completed everything on the component contract but didn't really do anything to go "above and beyond." It went smoothly so the assessment I give myself is a P.
3. If you could go back, what would you change about your lesson? How can you use that knowledge to give a better Lesson 2?
If I could go back, I would change my hook (circle time). Though I was proud of my hook and I enjoyed how it was interactive and grabbed the attention of my audience, it was a bit too long. I was hoping that it would be 2 minutes maximum. It ended up affecting me in the end because I was not able to go through each and every one of my points. From this knowledge, I can make sure that Lesson 2 is better by choosing a hook that will be shorter or if not, keeping an eye on the timer and cutting the hook short so that I will be able to present all of my information.
