Reflection on a Lesson Plan Taught

Virginia Teachers for Tomorrow
LESSON PLANNING PROJECT REFLECTION QUESTIONS - answer all in complete sentences.
1. What was the hardest part of creating this lesson? Why?
The hardest part of creating this lesson was differentiating between what each part was asking for. A lot of it was very similar, so
it was hard to not be so repetitive. It was also difficult to figure out the time for everything, and to estimate how long students
would take,

2. If you were to revise this lesson to make it better - what ideas do you have to add to this lesson?
If I were to revise this lesson, I would add more of a creative element to it. Kindergarten aged children have short attention spans,
so I would add an activity that gets them out of their seats to break up activities that could be less engaging to certain students.

3. Is lesson planning important for teachers? Why or why not?

Lessing planning is important for teachers because it gives them a detailed guide for teaching. Some teachers may be able to wing
it, but creating a lesson plan allows you to clearly see how the lesson will go, and to find its shortcomings. This can help teachers
create more effective and efficient lessons.

4. What different types of learning styles were you trying to reach in your lesson? Did you differentiate your lesson to meet
the needs of multiple learning styles?
I tried to reach visual, auditory, kinesthetic, intrapersonal, interpersonal, and verbal learners. I tried to have each element of the
lesson cater to different learning styles. The lesson involves speaking, reading, listening, and coloring. It also gives students to work
on their own and with others.

5. What are you most excited about for the upcoming internship?
I am excited to work with students, and be able to see how their classroom functions. I am excited to be able to help students who
are struggling, and to see how the teacher caters to students at different levels of understanding.

6. What are you worried about/concerned about for the upcoming internship?
I am worried that the teacher won’t need my help, or that I will be unable to help the teacher effectively. I hope to be as useful
as possible.
