Name of Artifact: Junior Achievement Lesson Plans

Date: November 29, 2013
Course: EDUC 101: Introduction to Teaching

Brief Description: This is the summary of what I plan to teach for Junior
achievement.
Rationale:
Lesson planning helps keep me on track especially if I am on a time limit. It helps
me go over and check to make sure that I had covered all my points. It also helps
me know what I am going to say without looking constantly at the manual. This
gives me more time to interact with the students and watch them. Lesson planning
also helps me to see if I am just addressing one learning style or all of them.

The Junior Achievement day was an experience. I would not do this again unless I had to. I also know
that I am not cut out for elementary grades as a teacher. I think overall the students liked it when I gave
them examples related to them. I also know that they enjoyed the project based activity. When given
what they were to do they let their creativity flow? I know that the project based activity putting them in
groups and having them come up with a solution to the problem then present it was good. Each student
put forth ideas to the group. I know that this student enjoyed the hot dog game they wanted to see who
was going to make the most money. They did not like having to do the math involved with this game yet
it got to show them how math is related in the real world. I only wish that I had some business experience
that I could bring to the presentation.
