5. Reflection:
I think this was a step in the right direction, but I have some concerns. I don’t think my standard was
narrow enough, and I’m sure my observable objective could be improved. I believe my independent
practice questions were good, and my guided practice questions were solid. I think I chose good,
interesting material that provides different cultural perspectives on history and everyday life.
