REFLECTION
Questions to determine the success of your lesson:
Were my students successful in meeting the learning goals and success criteria? How do I know?
Did my instructional decisions meet the needs of all students? If not, what are my next steps?
What worked well? Why?
What will I do differently in the future…
o …when teaching this lesson?
o …for the subsequent lesson?
What are the next steps for my professional learning?
-I will know if my students were successful in meeting the learning goals and success criteria through their thoughts
and ideas brought up during class, through the products of their learning, and through observation.
-Much of the learning took place through conversation. As a result, it is imperative that students be allowed to take
notes in their sketchbook, as suggested. This gives students who do not feel entirely comfortable talking during class
an opportunity to express what they are thinking and still participate in learning.
-Allowing students to work on a thinglink of their own worked well once they were set up on the website. As
expected, it took them some time to explore the site and figure out how everything works before they could focus on
researching a social issue. The more this app is used, the quicker students will be able to get to their activity.
Overall, students enjoyed working with thinglink as it gave them an opportunity to use technology in order to be
creative and learn more about a topic that is important to them.
-The pointillism activity worked well as it broke up the lesson allowing students to get up, use their hands and express
themselves before getting into an involved conversation about social issues.
-In the future, I will give them more time to research and explore a social issue as they are complex topics that need a
lot of unpacking.
-The next steps for my professional learning: continue using peer evaluation as a tool to help students think critically
about their own work and the work of others. Furthermore, incorporate Poll Everywhere https://pollev.com so that
students can anonymously participate if they feel uncomfortable asking a question or giving their opinion in front of
others; especially, when the conversation is about important and sensitive topics such as social issues.
