Lesson Reflection

I think that my lesson went over really well. The students in my class don't tend to master skills immediately. It takes a lot of repetition for them to completely understand and master a task. But, I think that they did really well with this lesson. The students were able to pick the correct picture card when given options to find a specific one about 60% of the time as a whole class (this is a very good number for this class). They were able to complete the steps of bowling with partial physical prompts, other than students who are not coordinated enough to complete the steps on their own, they had more physical prompting. If I would have had the time, I would have liked to have taught this lesson to the class multiple times and given them more opportunities to practice the steps of bowling. To increase motivation, I wish I could have had more tools so that we could break into multiple groups to practice the activity and students could have had more opportunities to use the toys.

Students were very engaged in the lesson and wanted to keep playing with the bowling tools when the lesson was over. They listened well to the lesson and participated well during the activity. They were also fairly quiet during the lesson, which is not super typical for them, I think that it was because they were so engaged within the lesson. I made sure to ask each student one questions every 2-3 minutes so that they were forced to be engaged throughout the entire lesson. If I were to do this again, I would have found or taken my own, better pictures to go with the lesson, I had a hard time finding good pictures to go to the lesson, so I had to eventually settle for pictures that I didn't love. I think that some better pictures that were more simple and specific to each step would have helped the students to understand and learn better, and also would have kept them more engaged in the lesson because it would have been simpler for them to processed.
