Blog Phase 2 Lesson Plan 2

1. Instructional Decisions/Teaching (InTask Standard # 9): Discuss the implementation process and describe
• What went well and what didn't go well during the implementation of your lesson?
• I feel like my lesson went very well this time. I planned out the time length perfectly and was able to cover all of the material smoothly. I was able to transition from the lesson portion to the assignment and assessment very easily.
• How well was the alignment to objectives and standards maintained?
• The alignment to the objectives was maintained very well. I was able to stay on task with the students and we hit each objective planned.
• Describe any modifications made during the implementation of the lesson
• During the lesson one modification I made was allowing the students to do their plot diagram on a movie instead of a book or story. I felt this would still be acceptable because they would still be learning the key elements in plot with a movie.
2. Mechanics:
• What technologies did I use (for the teacher and the learner)?
• Smart Board
• Google Slides
• Pixie
• How were the technologies used (by whom and in what manner)?
• As the teacher I used the Smart Board to display the power point on Google Slides. I pre planned the power point and used that during the lesson to fill in the student’s definition of each vocabulary term and to put the vocab terms in order on the actual plot diagram. I also had a slide to show the instructions for the assignment.
• The students used Pixie on their individual computers to create their own plot diagram.
• My lesson was within the correct time frame
• My lesson was within the correct time frame because I planned it accordingly and stuck to each time frame for the different parts of the lesson.
3. Assessment of Learning (InTask Standard # 6): Refer to Assessing Student Learning
• Include at least 2 digital artifacts that demonstrate what you or your students (peers) have created as a result of your lesson

• Describe your students' level of success in achieving the standards and objectives for your lesson based on your assessment
• The students were very successful in achieving the standards and objectives and were able to create their own plot diagrams with all the correct parts necessary.
• Describe the level of success you had in teaching the lesson
• How do your individual reflections support this?
1. I personally think the lesson went great. The students were engaged and were successful in their creation of their own plot diagrams
• How do the comments from your classmates support this?
1. Overall based on the comments from my classmates they liked the lesson a lot. They thought that I was well prepared and liked how I explained how this lesson would lead into the student’s next lesson.
2. One thing they thought I could improve on was maybe explaining to the students how to use Pixie. My intentions for the lesson implied that the student’s already had experience using Pixie but I will be sure to clarify that in the future.
1. What did you learn from designing and teaching this lesson and how will you use this in the creation of future lessons/learning activities.
• Something that I learned from this lesson is that it is very important to make sure you are always prepared. My lesson went so well and ran so smoothly but that is because I had everything planned out and ready to jump right into the lesson with no complications. I think this is important for all lessons and activities.
