Lesson 1 Reflection

1. Positive Statement
  • What are you most proud of in your Lesson 1 Presentation and why?
    • Honestly, I was very proud of my first lesson in all aspects. I was not expecting myself to present so well in front of the class because I always get anxiety when it comes to presenting in front of large crowds. Yes, I am an iPoly student (duh) and in our school, we emphasize public speaking so this is quite ironic. However, when I was up there talking about language, all my fears went away and I felt like I was talking to friends. From the introduction to the conclusion, I made myself proud with my execution.

2. Questions to Consider


a. What assessment would you give yourself on your Lesson 1 Presentation (self-assessment)?
    • P / AE

b. Explain why you deserve that grade using evidence from the Lesson 1 component contract.
    • I feel like I did all the requirements needed in order to score a P for the Lesson 1 component. I also feel like I executed my presentation well enough to achieve an AE because according to other people from the audience, I was very entertaining, engaging, and passionate when presenting about my topic.

3. What worked for you in your Lesson 1?
    •  I think a lot of the aspects of my lesson worked pretty well, especially my energy.  My bouncy personality was able to shine through my presentation and that's what seemed to keep the audience's attention.

4. (What didn't work) If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your Lesson 1?
    •  I would probably pace myself to go a little faster when talking. Not to the point where people can't even understand me, but just so I can get my point across. Or I can just reduce the amount of detail that I would mention, but what fun is that? The very last minute of my presentation was just sonic minute. I had to go fast. I needed to be fast if I wanted to get my conclusion in. It's amazing that I was able to go just under the maximum time by .56 seconds. I'm pretty lucky.
