Blog 13: Lesson 2 Reflection

1. What are you most proud of in your Lesson 2 Presentation and why?
I am most proud of the way my PowerPoint was organized and about how I was able to engage my audience with the small prizes I had. I think that when you have something available for your audience it not only makes them pay attention to what you're saying but it also gives you a little ease of mind when you know people are at least looking at your information.

2. 
    a. What assessment would you give yourself on your Lesson 2 Presentation (self-assessment)?
         AE      P      AP      CR      NC

    b. Explain why you deserve that grade using evidence from the Lesson 2 component contract.
        I think I deserve to at least be considered for a P because I turned in my lesson plan on time,
        my materials and equipment were ready to go, my EQ was clearly visible on my PowerPoint,
        I cleaned up after my presentation, and I do believe I at least made 20 minutes.

3. What worked for you in your Lesson 2?
I think what really worked for me was my activity because not only was my audience engaged but I felt a little more confident afterwards because I took that pause.
 
4. What didn't work? If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your Lesson 2?
I know that I probably rushed through my research and didn't say all I wanted to say about it. If I could go back in time I would have taken a deep breath and just focus on what I was going to say because I was fine when I was going to talk but just for a small second I freaked out when I looked out into the "crowd" and I feel like that threw me off.

5. What do you think your answer #2 is going to be?
I think my answer 2 will have something to do with social development in young children. Social development, like fine motor skills, have a subconscious affect on a child and the way they view academics because if a child is more open to people they have an easier time asking for help compared to a child who may be more shy.
