Evaluation:

My teaching:

Students were enthusiastic to create their character

profiles.
Some students had issues with their use of capital
letters and punctuation

Strengths / Weaknesses / Changes

Thoroughly enjoyed watching the students get

excited in starting their character profiles. This
ensures me that I picked a good topic.
Will need to be more generous with the topic
itself. Shouldnt just throw students into it,
perhaps I need to warm them up and into it.
