As i have finished my lesson and gotten to present it at the water fair. There were many steps that I took. One was the data collection where I annotated different articles and lesson plans that help me build on my idea of building a lesson plan. After reading and researching lesson plans I was able to be inspired to make my own lesson plan. My lesson was a fun interactive plan which was to match pictures with the world to a definition. The building of the game was fun. I got to choose pictures where kids were able to see clearly and understand. The definitions were very detailed to have a good understanding for kids to read.
After the water fair presentation, I received very good feedback from Zach at JJK and our partners. From teaching the kids I was able to build a better understanding and see ways that I can improve my lesson game. I want to improve the game by making the definition more easy because I saw that during the game with the kids some of the definitions were confusing because they could be mixed with other words. With this information and my feedback, I saw the kids were very interactive with the lesson and showed interest in the game and asked questions. They also asked if they could read the definition. Some of the things I learned is that this type of learning approach can be used for other subjects but overall I am very happy with the results of the kids and our partners. Based on our group size that I was working with at the water fair it would have been easier if I made smaller game packets, so that’s one thing I made a note on. I will make small modifications to involve the lesson game.
