Reflection to lesson:

I have included this lesson as one of least successful lessons. The lesson included a

large amount of written components that I knew some students would have an issue with. I

tried to incorporate adaptions for the students – having a fill in the blank version and a

blank version of the worksheet but that was not successful. Most students were very

unfocused and distracted as we had a very busy day and were not mentally capable to do

such a heavy written lesson right at the end of the day. I ended up only getting through a

portion of my intended lesson, and having to re-teach this section to students the following

day. I did so by doing it in a completely different manor that involved more movement and

no pencil-paper tasks.

This is mainly an error on my behalf. I wish I had taken more time to look at the

schedule of the day as a whole and took that into account. I also learned the importance of

needing to have a back up activity for every lesson regardless of how well I think it will go.

There are many different variables that could occur that I cannot not always expect, but by

having another lesson prepared, I could have avoided the unsuccessfulness of this lesson

and not have to re-teach the lesson.

Ultimately, having an additional non-written activity prepared would have made

this lesson more successful.
