-My favorite part about my lesson
1. What are you most proud of in your lesson, and why?
- In my lesson, I was very happy with the way that I was able to take my normal language that I use with my mentor, and break it down to a level my audience could understand. Not once did I see a face that looked lost, and it felt nice when my hook activity was deemed exemplary.
2. What assessment would you give yourself on your lesson? Explain why you earned that grade using evidence from the component contract.
- We are graded on professionalism (Volume/Enunciation, Body language/Eye contact, and Engaged audience/ Content clarity) and justification of foundation (Clear research, One published source, mentorship or interview referenced, and research shows a 3 month process). For my lesson, I believe I deserve an AE-. I hit all of the points that earn a P and I also did a great job engaging the audience. I've had P presentations, and they're embarrassing to tread through. This presentation had high energy, I went for the high risk slight reward by bringing in my laptop, and I made sure to touch on all subjects I brought up. Countless presentations had the, "Thing 1, thing 2, thing 3, time to learn all three," but the first topic was only spoken about. I didn't leave any of the audience in the dust and I feel that if they were quizzed, they could score well. We were told no digital anything, and my topic deals with nothing physical, even with this obstacle I killed the presentation.
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?
- My hook activity was easy, however not obsolete because it set the tone for my lesson and taught the audience at the same time. If I could go back I'd add more examples of Frontend vs Backend for the audience to guess on, however the time constraint wouldn't allow that. I'd also not get nervous and forget to put my EQ under the doc cam, because it was printed and inches away from the viewing range. For lesson two I know that my hook can be harder for the audience, or more comical because that did get a good reaction, and to take a deep breath while I'm rushing to set up my presentation because time was much more lenient than I had imagined it to be.
