- Instructional
Decisions/Teaching (InTask Standard # 9): Discuss the
implementation process and describe
- What went well
and what didn't go well during the implementation of your lesson?
- How well was
the alignment to objectives and standards maintained?
- Describe any
modifications made during the implementation of the lesson
My lesson
went very well, I was pleased with the outcome of my lesson and how I presented
it. I think I could have planned it better to transition more smoothly from
moving around the class. The lesson went along with the objectives and
standards I had picked out for this lesson. The students had to carry through
the objectives and standards laid out for the lesson through implementation in
activities provided for them to do. I had to modify my lesson to accommodate a
student who did not want to complete the lesson because it was “too mainstream”
for them to complete. To accommodate for this I had to focus on this student
and keep the student motivated and engaged. To do this I had to sit by the
student and help the student through the process, which had the other students
on their own for parts of the lesson. It was difficult to divide my time
between a student who needed a lot of attention to my other students who could
use some guided practice as well.
- Mechanics:
- What
technologies did I use (for the teacher and the learner)?
- How were the
technologies used (by whom and in what manner)?
- My lesson was
within the correct time frame
- It was short
because…
- It was too
long because…
- The lesson was
within the correct time frame because...
I started
my lesson with having my students get up and meet at the white board at the
front of the room. We reviewed what we would be covering that day and have them
write on the board their ideas of the Civil War. We then went back to their
desks to get on the computers and read some letters from different Civil War
civilians and patrons. After they read their letters they were instructed to go
to the class blog and create a letter of their own. I had an example and
instructions set for them to read through. The students could refer back to
this for help and for an example of what I expected from them. They then
created their own letters on the blog either in reaction to the letter or a
follow up letter impersonating the person of the letter they read. My lesson
was within the time frame, I expected the lesson to be too long for the time
frame, but it actually ended perfectly within the 30-minute limit. I think it
ended this way because of the information I had for them to complete and the
task I had them do. If there was extra time I had open-ended questions to ask
as a classroom discussion on the Civil War.
- Assessment of
Learning (InTask Standard # 6): Refer to Assessing
Student Learning
- Include at
least 2 digital artifacts that demonstrate what you or your students
(peers) have created as a result of your lesson
- Describe your
students' level of success in achieving the standards and objectives for
your lesson based on your assessment
- Describe the
level of success you had in teaching the lesson
- How do your
individual reflections support this?
- How do the
comments from your classmates support this?

If you follow this link, it will take you to the three artifacts that my
students completed during my lesson.
I think
my students achieved the standards and objectives very well for this lesson.
They understood the Civil War from different perspectives of the two sides
within the Civil War. As we talked through why they wrote what they did, it was
good for them to reflect back on their work and their ideas on the issue. I
thought I did very well in presenting the information to my students, I think I
could have provided some more instruction on the blog to them through the
comments of the student reflection. I thought I was very well prepared for this
lesson and knew exactly what I wanted my students to get out of the lesson. My
comments and reflection of my lesson was very good and all my students thought
the lesson was informative and technology enriched.
