Overall, the most points came off of not using enough text evidence to support what they
thought happened to the Lost Colony.

Reflection on lesson: (Write several paragraphs about what you learned from this lesson. What were the strengths?
What were the weaknesses? What did you learn about teaching and student learning? How would you teach this lesson
differently in the future?
Some of the weaknesses of this lesson was that it was too fast. There was a lot of empty time while they were writing
their paragraphs. I should have figured out a way to make the reading of the article a little more interactive. If I could go
back and change it, I would have asked more questions as I read out loud. I know it is important to do this, but I wasn’t
sure at the time what questions to ask. I should have asked my clinical teacher more about that but didn’t think about it
until I got my feedback back. I should have also said the “big idea” more throughout my lesson which is something I need
to work on for next time. Since most of the points came off because they didn’t use enough clues, I might also emphasis
that more next time. I would also use the word text evidence instead of “clues”.
A strength was how fast the lesson was as well. They aren’t given much time so knowing that I can get an effective lesson
done in a short amount of time was a good thing. I think the graphic organizer was a strength. This allowed me to see
what students got from the readings and how to be creative with it. I really liked being able to see what they thought
and why. Something I liked was that I wrote the inquiry question on the board for them to constantly keep in mind as we
were reading.
I learned that social studies isn’t hard and it can be fun when you have the right tools. I also learned from students that
they love to share their ideas. They love highlighting and coming up with their own ideas. They also love collaboration.
If I were to do this differently, I would ask more questions as I am reading out loud and bring in the “big idea” more. I
would also change the rubric to fit 2 points to be the paragraph. I also might go over the details of a paragraph really
quickly.
