Strategy Lesson

During our strategy lesson about clustering and mapping, one thing I believe could have helped us would have been more time to do the lesson. I thought several things went well, and got reported that went well, like the brainstorming in the beginning, got everyone in the right state of mind. I felt like it gave the class an opportunity to get focused in our topic. Some grows that we received, were focused on our video. Not that our video was uninteresting, but that we should’ve stopped on important points to engage with the class. Some glows were our explanation of the instructions and giving them a good example of what we were looking for as well. A grow was having questions on the board to focus them during the videos. So overall I think our biggest improvement would’ve been to have more time, and added in our planning to have some type of way to keep them on track during the video so that the class takes away what we need them to for them to be able to do the assignment afterwards. An unexpected challenge was as a teacher, getting most of the words that students shouted out in the beginning written on the board, although it showed enthusiasm from them, was a difficult as a teacher to make sure everyone was heard, and their input recorded. If done again, with more time, improvements on how the video is watched and understood, and possibly broken up groups for the beginning brainstorming so that everyone is guaranteed to participate.
