Critical Reflection (Post-Presentation)

1. How prominent was your groups inquiry question when you were engaging in your
planning?
I think that our inquiry question was very engaging and lead well into our
planning process as well as our lecture and corresponding activity.
2. How did you ensure all teaching and learning activities were tightly aligned to your
inquiry question for the lesson?
We tried to base all our activities on what they would learn in the lecture
following to reaffirm the ideas they had come up with or their preconceived
ideas about the topic. We wanted our discussions with the class to expand on
the topic.
3. When were your students most engaged?
The students were most engaged during the discussion activity sections where
they discussed the questions in their groups to answer and relate them to the
examples.
4. When were your students least engaged?
The students were probably least engaged in the lecture portions of the class.
But the class a specifically harder time with our last brainstorming discussion on
what could be done to stop cheating in schools.
5. Reflecting on the lessons of your classmates, what did they do that was most effective
for your learning?
The strategy I found most effective was in the multicultural demonstration
where they had students put their personal school experiences with
multiculturalism into jars. Once they had all their data the spread out the rural
and urban multiculturalism ideas out showing how diverse even reclusive areas
are. It was very beneficial because it made me think about what I knew from
before and made it a visual discussion with others ideas.
6. Discuss two insights this project has granted you about teaching.
I liked how this project gave us insight into some of what teachers have to do
when planning. While giving us the support and ideas from our partners. It was
also a great introduction to get the feeling for how it feels to speak in front of a
class.
