Reflections: During this lesson the students were engaged and really gave great feedback during discussion. I notic that
the students became extremely excited when they discovered that they are going to e able to make their own poems,
which would let them become more creative in their writing. Due to the testing the students were going through, I felt
like the students needed something fun and more relaxed but still educational. While giving instructions I made sure I
explained what were doing and also have another student explain the instructions and again. I also noticed that I still
need to work on time management still because the lesson was not complete and some students were still on their third
or fourth poem.
