Teacher Candidate Reflection on the lesson (after delivery)

A decent lesson. I was hoping my first lesson would be more dynamic but
unfortunately, the day was cut short due to an all school mass. The students lost
about 10 minutes of instruction compared to other periods but for what it was, the
lesson went efficiently. My advisor Michael, suggested to incorporate my group work
and student interaction for my next lesson. He thought the test was well put
together and the lesson accomplished what it needed to, but to make sure the next
lesson had more versatility. Future lessons will most definitely include more
substance for the students in future instruction that he observes.
