Title of Artifact: Lesson Plan Presentation
For this assignment I had the opportunity to create and present a lesson plan in the
classroom I was doing my observation in. I created a lesson plan following the Madeline
Hunter Lesson Plan template and came up with a activity for a 7th grade art class. I got to
present my lesson plan to 3 different classes and make corrections/changes as each time
to improve it. I was able to better understand how and why I would need to make
adjustments so all students could benefit from the lesson plan. After completing this
assignment, I have better understanding for InTASC stand #7 and the course competency
that goes along with this project.

Reflection:
This really allowed me to see how much time and effort go into making an effective
lesson plan. I got to experience first-hand what happens when something doesn’t go the
way it is planned and how to deal with it quickly. I feel like I have a better grasp on what
all needs to be included in a lesson plan for it to run as smooth as possible. I also feel
more confident in my ability to stand in the front of a classroom and present my lesson
plan to a group of students. I felt confident in giving information and answering any
questions that were asked. I think this assignment has better prepared me to have my own
class room because I now know more of what to expect then I did before this. I would
feel confident creating and presenting another effective lesson plan at any time.
