Assignment Confirmation: Warmup Activity Presentation

Reflection for Instructional Activities #4

Looking back upon this activity, it was extremely beneficial and integral to my

experience as an intern this semester. Getting the opportunity to get in front of the class and

instruct them on current events was not only an engaging conversation, but allowed me to

build relationships with students beyond the short conversations we had previously had as they

enter or exit the room. This activity also gave me the opportunity to directly work on my

classroom presence and manner as an instructor. I was able to practice lecturing in a secondary

setting as well as checking for understanding during the lecture. Especially I appreciated the

opportunity to speak to students about current events and get their perspective on the

Ukraine-Russia conflict.
