Post Rehearsal or Lesson Reflections

Content Adjustment: Based on diagnostic and formative assessments during today’s lesson/rehearsal, list any repertoire
or activities that were omitted from the plan. Why? Will the omitted items need to be included in tomorrow’s
lesson/rehearsal?

Nothing was omitted from the plan.

Rehearsal or Lesson Adjustment: If you were going to re-teach today’s lesson/rehearsal, how would you have done it
differently.

If I could have retaught the lesson today, I would have liked to try to get their attention more focused at the beginning.
They are performing tomorrow at MPA and while their attention was good today, I think I could have started out by having
a conversation with them about their focus.
Reflection on Teaching: Analyze and evaluate your lesson/rehearsal and classroom management.

This lesson overall went very well. I completed the post test for my unit after the lesson and the results will be listed in my
unit plan. We moved through all of the lesson activities fairly quickly because we had a lot to get through.
