Overall I believe that the lesson went well, although not everything went according to plan, the students appeared to enjoy the lesson and comprehend the objectives. Unfortunately, my time management skills need improvement so I did not have the time to ask all of the questions that I originally planned, and I had to rush through the last part of the lesson. This portion of my lesson was implemented differently because I need to maintain/control the time limit of the lesson. If I were to teach this lesson to the same group of students I would try to find a more interactive activity so that the students maintain the excitement throughout the lesson. Something that I would do the same is keeping the Myon story that I selected, which was in both English and Spanish (because I have an ELL student that does not speak English yet). I believe that the students learned what was intended throughout the lesson because a majority of the students were enthusiastic in answering the questions that I asked throughout the lesson. In addition to this enthusiasm, the class completed the end of unit science test the following week and almost all of the class passed the test.
After completing this lesson I learned of the importance of providing ELL students with the opportunity to participate in the mainstream classroom. It is also evident that students enjoy foldable (they were extremely enthusiastic about the foldable), and this enjoyment usually results in remembering the content.
