Blog 11 – Lesson 1 Reflection

~Aerodynamics is one of the things I talked about in my senior lesson. It is one of the four design processes in Aeronautics.

1. What are you most proud of in your lesson, and why?
1. I think that there are a lot of good things that went well with the lesson. First, I was able to manage my time properly and plan out/practice my presentation multiple times before the actual lesson. Next, I believe that I was successful in keeping the whole class engaged in my lesson. Although I was not able to use good props, I was still able to use what I had effectively to enhance the overall quality of my presentation. Last and most important, the information I talked about in my lesson was both interesting and significant. I was actually very happy that I was able to talk about my topic the way I did today, because it gave the class a sort of short preview of my senior topic.
2. What assessment would you give yourself on your lesson? Explain why you earned that grade using evidence from the component contract.
1. On my lesson, I believe that I deserve a P(8.5/10) because I was able to meet all of the requirements and did well in them. I do not believe that I deserve anything higher because it was still far from a perfect presentation. Unfortunately, I was unable to find good props to use for my presentation. Moreover, I also forgot to bring some of the props that I was planning on using. Fortunately, I was still able to make-do with the simple props I had.
3. If you could go back, what would you change about your lesson?  How can you use that knowledge to give a better Lesson 2?
1. If I would go back, I would definitely try to use better props throughout my presentation to help keep the audience more interested. Moreover, I think I would have tried to think of ways to go above and beyond in my lesson. The reason I did not really try to think of these is because I was unsure of how the first lesson would go. I actually wanted to use the first lesson to test myself and see how I can go about with my senior topic. For the lesson 2, I think I just need to be more organized and be more creative.
