Claim
I believe that my lesson on the Cuban Missile Crisis showed proficiency in the Tasks, Texts, and
Learning Goals (TTLG) teaching practice. I believe this because I had a clearly written and
measurable learning goal for my students to accomplish while going over the texts that I chose
for them, I modified the method of instruction and completion of the tasks that went along
with the texts to better suit my students’ needs, I constantly engaged my students’ thinking
while they were completing the tasks and going over the texts, I had a clear launch and
conclusion for my students when going over these tasks and texts, and my adjustments were
beneficial to special populations.
Conclusion
In conclusion, I believe I showed great proficiency in my practice of TTLG because I was able to
tie my TTLG to a clear objective rooted in state standards that was appropriate for the time
frame of the lesson, I modified the task in a way that suited my students more generally and my
special needs students more specifically, I engaged student thinking effectively through out the
task and discussion of the texts, and I effectively launched and ended my TTLG.
