What
worked?
What would
you
change?

My activity was very fun and active as I planned it to be.

With this came a few small issues with keeping students
under control. The video I used grabbed a tremendous
amount of the students attention. They were even
singing along. I would change my lesson to flow easier
from one activity to the next. Overall, the lesson went
very smooth and was super interactive. I would try to
make it more challenging if I had time to revamp it.
