Lesson 7 - Kassidy Norman

1.       How do you feel about your lesson delivery and why? Was it effective, why or why not?

I thought my group did very well. We had all of the information about ADHD that was expected and we made a PowerPoint of this new information that we have gathered together. I believe it was effective because they seemed to be very engaged and there was a good amount of discussion and participation from the class.

2.       What evidence do you have (while delivering your lesson) of effective student engagement?

We asked them questions about if they know anyone who has ADHD and some positive and negative ways they have seen in the classroom how teachers interact with students with ADHD. We also had them discuss the case study in groups and we then discussed it as a class. 

3.       If you were to teach this lesson by yourself, not in a group, what would you change and why?

The only thing I think I would change would be to print out more handouts so that each person had one instead of two per table. I also wish we had more time so we could have shown the whole video stimulation so they could get a feel for how individuals with ADHD live life each day.

4.       What could have been an area of improvement in your teaching?

We could have learned a little more of our information instead of reading it odd the PowerPoint.

5.       Based on the criteria for the “Teaching Experience” on our syllabus, would you give your group a 0, 5 or a 10?  Why?  AND would you give yourself a 0, 5 or a 10?  Why? 

      I would give my group a 10 because we all came together to do this project in a short amount of time and we did a great job on it. I would give myself a 10 because I was really engaged in the information that I chose to look up. I found all the information on teaching strategies and how we can use those strategies to help those students with ADHD.
