Resources
1. What steps did you go through to create this lesson? With whom did you talk, discuss, or edit your lesson?
I went through my lesson plan with my cooperating teacher, Mrs. Jernigan.
2. How did the SOLs and Objectives help focus your instruction?
I looked for the key things in my lesson and paired them to the VDOE.
4. What, if any, parts didn’t work as well? Did any adjustments need to be made once you began?
Some students didn’t know if it was their turn to read or someone else so they all would read at the same time.
5. How well did you anticipate the materials needed? What could you have done differently?
I had everything I needed in my lesson for it to work out.
6. How effective was the assessment you chose to use? (If no assessment was used, what will the future
assessment be and how will you gauge its effectiveness?)

I did not use an assessment because my teacher is the one that has to use the big grader on their reading levels
and determines if they go up na level in reading or if they stay the same. I just used a closer activity so I can get
a feel on if they understand the book or not. Commented [2]: that is still an assessment! your
lesson was an informal assessment that helped
prepare them for the summative one
7. To what degree do you feel that this lesson was a success? What evidence do you have for the success of
the lesson? (Hint: Student learning is the key to a lesson’s success!)
When I did my lesson, everything turned out great (except the confusion with whos reading). If I were to give
my lesson a rate 1-10 I would give it a 8.
8. Did you spend enough time preparing for your lesson? How did your preparation contribute (or take away
from) the success of your lesson?
I think I did the perfect amount of preparation because everything was spot on. I definitely could have been
more instructional with who reads at a time.
9. If you could do this lesson again with the same students, would you do anything differently? If so, what?
I would just be more descriptive with who reads at a time.
