Reflection:
Had to chop out the middle of the lesson and the last part because I wildly over planned. But those will
be completed tomorrow. Kids asked a lot of really good questions about the journey of a t-shirt prezi.
Will definitely use the prezi again in future years. Kids understood why we move goods all over the
world before bring them back to the US.
Activity went very well also. First hour ran out of time to reflect after the lesson , but we will do more of
that tomorrow. Kids liked being out of their seats and having to make choices about their own lives in a
fun way.
