1. 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? For my lesson I believe that it went very well and very smooth during the hour. I started the lesson with reviewing their previous knowledge about the Civil War and the important people involved with the war ending. The only thing that didn't go so well is my blog was not popping up for the class at first and I had to go in and change my settings.
• How well was the alignment to objectives and standards maintained? I stuck well with aligning my objectives and standards during the lesson. We stayed on topic well and had discussions furthering their information about the Civil War and about the Emancipation Proclamation.
• Describe any modifications made during the implementation of the lesson. During instruction I had to modify my blog in order to allow the students access to my blog that I thought they already had access to. I also had to modify my lesson to allow for room for difficult students who could not stay on track, I had to remediate the lesson to go over multiple times information that other students had already got and learned. 
2. Mechanics:
   • What technologies did I use (for the teacher and the learner)? I used a blog, word processor, and the world wide web during this lesson for my students.
   • How were the technologies used (by whom and in what manner)? The blog was used for their speeches to be posted on and viewed. I used word processor for them to look up other words to be used in their speech and to first write their speech with to see any grammatical errors. Finally I used the world wide web for them to use with looking up unknown words, watch a video online, and finally using the blog to get to.
   • 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...The lesson ended in perfect timing because of how I had to re teach items to students who were not understanding the objective. I let them take their own time writing their speech, if they had extra time, I wanted them to keep going with their speech and add more reasons of defending their side. At the end I had them present their speech to one another, if I had extra time we would have created a class speech about rights and respect.
3. 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. If you look under http://shannonschwecke.blogspot.com/ you will find the students' speeches.
• Describe your students' level of success in achieving the standards and objectives for your lesson based on your assessment. My students succeeded beyond expectation, they understood the concept of the lesson and understand why we were doing the task. I think they succeeded so well because we talked about how to relate the speech to their own lives. 
• Describe the level of success you had in teaching the lesson
  • How do your individual reflections support this? Their reflection supported this because they had to relate a speech and give reasons for their purpose of the speech in their writing.
  • How do the comments from your classmates support this? The comments I received from my peers supported this because they mentioned how they really could understand why the Emancipation Proclamation was important. They also mentioned how I knew the topic inside and out, which I believe is important when teaching a subject because it instills confidence in the students as well.
