sheet of paper as homework to assure their understanding of spelling correctly.
9. Reflection on Lesson to complete after you have taught:
1. To what extent did the students meet the learning objective(s), and what evidence do you have to
support your conclusion? All of the students meet my objective proficiently and as a reward they
earned extra recess time.
2. Based on the success in achieving the objective, what would be your next instructional steps? I
will continue to use SpellingCity.com to create Spelling Tests and incorporate 21st Century Skills
in my classroom.
3. What aspects of the lesson went well, and how do you know? The Sentence writing went well
because all of the students were able to use each of the 15 words correctly in a sentence format
and they had a lot of fun reading their sentence to the class.
4. What would you do differently next time, and how did you know this part of the lesson did not
work as well as it could have for you and/or the students? I would not change anything except for
maybe adding a couple more words to the spelling test for fast learners/extra credit.
