Type your reflection here for this lesson taught. (See syllabus for details)
This lesson is the starting point to a four lesson unit, with some lessons being more than one day. The following
lesson will include students designing and creating a concept board for a purposed public awareness project.
The third lesson in the unit includes the creating and construction of the project. Purposed projects may include;
creating a sculpture, paintings, poem, or song. By giving students choices with a variety of methods of reaching
the objective, I am meeting the needs of multiple intelligences.
