Notes/Reflection (to be completed right after you finish teaching a particular lesson)
What did you accomplish? How much did the students learn? What would you leave the same
and what might you change in the future to improve this lesson?

This was a very fun lesson to teach because of all the old tobacco advertisement examples that I
shared with the class. The students seemed to really enjoy my presentation because of these
images/videos and we had good discussions/reactions after I showed each example. One thing
that I would change about the lesson was having the students talk with their seat partner before
sharing with the class to get more students involved in the class discussions. I really liked the
activity that I had the students do and was surprised on what they came up with. They were very
creative and showed me that they learned from the lesson.
