Reflection Notes – after teaching the lesson, reflect on how well you feel it went. What went well? What would
you change? What did not go the way you thought it would? How did the planning process help you with the
lesson?

After teaching the lesson I feel it went very well. The students were engaged and listening, and they were very
interested to in the lesson and the idea that their work would soon be displayed. If i could change something I
would make sure to tell them to use positive words for their character traits. What I did not expect was the
students using negative words for themselves. I had to go ack and address them and have them change their
word to a more positive one.
