Lesson 2 Reflection

Me after finishing my presentation.

1.What are you most proud of in your Lesson 2 Presentation and why?

I am most proud of making time. I witnessed some of my peers falling short on time and it made me worried about not making it myself. I feared that out of nervousness I would talk too fast and be under time. Fortunately, I was able to keep calm, speak at a normal rate, and make time at the end. Once I realized that keeping up with the clock wasn't an obstacle anymore, I became more confident in myself and my presentation.

2.a. What assessment would you give yourself on your Lesson 2 Presentation (self-
       assessment)?

P

   b. Explain why you deserve that grade using evidence from the Lesson 2 component
       contract.

I think I deserve a P on my presentation for Lesson 2 because I met all the requirements necessary to earn a P. I feel that I worked to the best of my ability and for that I would give myself a P. 

3. What worked for you in your Lesson 2?

I think what really worked in my Lesson 2 Presentation was talking talk about experiences from mentorship. That was able to grab a better hold of the audience's attention and keep them engaged. It also gave me a bit of comfort being up in front of the class knowing that my audience was interested in what I had to say. 

4. What didn't work? If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your Lesson 2?

What didn't work as well as I could have liked it to be was my activity debrief. I said what I wanted to say but I completely forgot to make the class present on what they did/learned in the activity. So if I could go back, I would change that little detail that way my audience could get a better understanding of my activity. 

5. What do you think your answer #2 is going to be?

At the moment, I feel that my answer #2 will be that the most important skill a preschool teacher can teach her students to best prepare them for kindergarten are fine motor skills. But that answer could change after completing more hours and working on my independent component 2.
