Reflections

This lesson taught us how to create a more formal lesson plan. By using this lesson plan, we will be able to make a clearer, organized lesson in the future and better understand what we should be including. In addition to the lesson plan formatting, this lesson also taught us how to incorporate creativity into our lessons as teachers. By implementing a small dance in the beginning of class, we are allowing our students to move around and hopefully regain focus to better their overall academic achievement.

This class prepared us for our individual presentations by providing us with a template to follow for our own presentations. It allowed us to see what works and what doesn't work when teaching a class and how to get and keep everyone's attention during the lesson.

Our group activity today helped us to prepare for our final lesson plan by showing us what we need to do to gain the class’ attention and incorporating a written lesson plan into our practice.

Response to activities: we learned how to incorporate movement into the daily lesson plan. In this way, we can encourage the students to think creatively as they use their body to flow and bounce to the beat of the music. This activity is beneficial for not just young students, but all kids in the school system to learn to think creatively and beyond the confounds of school desk.
