Answer the following reflective questions:

1. Compare and contrast teaching several days in a row to teaching one mini lesson?
Teaching several days in a row gave me more practice and allowed me to fix anything I did wrong for
the next day of teaching. It was much more stressful and nerve wrecking but I learned a lot more
from the unit lesson than teaching mini lessons.

2. What was challenging?

I get so nervous in front of people so I just had anxiety for weeks before and during. I wanted the
lessons to go really well because I knew the students would compare me to Ms. Mueller.

3. What was beneficial to you as a developing teacher?

Having teachers give me direct feedback on how I was doing and what I did right and wrong in my
lessons.

4. What went as planned? What didnt?

The lessons went as planned and objectives were met. I had things I wanted to say and practiced
saying when I was reviewing my lesson but nerves got to me and I forgot a few things I wanted to
mention.

5. Reflect on this assignment and give feedback about the directions, planning documents, and
reflection pieces.
It was an effective project. I am usually bad with doing projects that I haven't seen examples of or
am walked through, so I felt like I was doing things wrong but I was glad to get feedback from both
teachers.
