I believe Lab A was successful overall because everyone didn't just present well but everyone was able to learn and improve for future presentations. Since I was the last presentation of the lab, I think I really benefited from watching everyone else go before I did. However, I still made some mistakes that I know I can improve on such as eye contact with everyone and speaking slower. I felt comfortable speaking infront of the group overall which is important because I felt more confident. Showing examples of how I wanted the students to do the skill and examples of the wrong way to do the skill is a good way for the students to understand the task according to Chapter 4. I think I did that with dribbling but I could have done that with each skill I presented. Asking students questions is another good tip from chapter 4 so as the teacher you know what the students understand and don't understand. Adding this to my presentation will help me better understand how to go on with the lesson. I had a lot of fun with lab A and learning from my own and others mistakes will help me with future presentations.

John i thought you did a great job. One of the things I liked the most about your lab was they you explained everything very well and spoke clear which was easy to hear and also to follow. I'm sure your next labs will get better and better.
ReplyDeleteJohn you had a great lab ! Your voice was clear for your students. Try to think outside the box for your hook it will only engage your students. Great job your starting to think about checking for understanding but dont worry that will come up in the next lab, good job thinking ahead. It is very important to make sure your students understand what you are asking of them. Great job so far!
