Personal Reflection Questions

This lesson 5 unit I think went okay. One thing that I should have done differently was not
have so many notes on the powerpoint and more pictures and talk in more depth about how the
animals are becoming endangered. Although the students did enjoy the bingo game I should
have been more clear when I was asking them thumbs up or thumbs down questions. With
informal notes I think this would have helped my lesson go a lot smoother so for now on out I
will use informal notes to help guide me through having a smoother lesson until I am able to
figure it out without having to use Informal notes.
