Reflection on a Lesson Plan Taught

Grade: 3rd
Time of Day: N/A

1. What steps did you go through to create this lesson? With whom did you talk, discuss, or edit your lesson?

I used online resources to research activities for parts of speech. It was a little difficult to find activities that the
students would enjoy. I also talked with my intern teacher about how she gives out online lessons to her students.

2. How did the SOLs and Objectives help focus your instruction?

Using the SOLs and objectives helped me focus on what the students needed to learn. Instead of the instruction
being all over the place, they narrow it down.

3. What parts of the instructional plan worked as you anticipated?

Each part of the lesson plan worked how I anticipated. The students were able to complete each assignment.

4. What, if any, adjustments needed to be made once you began?

After creating the lesson plan, I needed to make the instructions more specific and detailed. I was being vague and
that would have made the lesson difficult to follow.

5. How well did you anticipate the materials needed?

Each student has their own chromebook and internet and were able to access the assignments.
 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?)

The assessment was very effective. It showed the teacher what each student received on the quiz after all the other
assignments were completed. The assessment went with the other activities.

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!)

I think this lesson was a success because all the students were able to access all the work and followed the
directions. Each student completed all the assignments and got above a 70 on the quiz.

8. How did the time spent preparing for your lesson contribute to it’s success?

I spent a good amount of time preparing for the lesson, but I believe I could have put a little more effort in. Since I am
used to creating fun interactive lessons in the classroom, I struggled completing this lesson. I could have spent more
time researching activities, but I started to doubt myself.

9. If you could do this lesson again with the same students, would you do anything differently? If so, what?

If I could do this lesson again, I would try to find more enjoyable activities. There aren’t many online activities that
would be considered fun to the students.

10. Any last comments/reflections about your lesson?
