Observation #2: Reflection

	Lesson Plan Template pt. 3 = reflection
WHAT?	What went well?   Cooperative learning!
	What area of weakness needs addressing? Making sure students understand the assignment!
	Which objectives were met? What is the evidence? Students understanding what it means to analyze a poem. Lisa wouldn’t move on till all students fully understood.
	Which students did not meet objectives? The student’s who did not (a various few) still had time.
	Was time managed appropriately? Yes
	Did any teacher mannerisms or actions detract from the lesson? No
	*What were the strengths and weaknesses of classroom management? Strenghts were cooperative learning, yet weakness was making sure students were actually doing the assignment or at least understanding, I could notice a lot of confused looks (especially from the ELL students)
SO WHAT?	Was the lesson engaging? Yes, but was it just because I love American literature and Poe?
	*What did I learn from my peer observation (address at least one aspect)  That what may be fun and simple for me may take more than a class or two to fully get students to understand!
NOW WHAT?	How will this experience influence your professional identity?  To not assume that students understand even though they say they do.
	How will it influence how you plan/teach/assess in the future? To definitely slow down in my presentation of information and to be careful in my assumptions.
