V. Reflective Response
A. Report of Students Performance in Terms of Stated Objectives (after lesson is taught)
Although I knew the pretest would be difficult for the students since they have not seen
these vocabulary words before I thought that they would have done a little better. The
best grade was a 4/13. The rest of the students either got all of the questions wrong or got
a 1/13or 2/13. These were not put into the grade book.
B. Personal Reflection
How did the students respond to the project?
- The students responded well to the project and were eager to begin working on it.
When they turned in their projects only a handful of students did not receive a 100%.
