    Reflection on a Lesson Plan Taught


    Virginia Teachers for Tomorrow
    Intern Name: Kayla Kwiatkowski
    Lesson Title (Subject/Topic): Monkey’s Paw
    Cooperating Teacher & School: Virginia Beach Middle School
    Grade: 8th
    1. What steps did you go through to create this lesson? With whom did you talk, discuss, or edit your lesson?
    Mrs. Horner provided me with the audio and PDF for this lesson. I then created an interactive Pear Deck with
    questions that the students stopped and answered as we were reading the story. Mrs. Horner and Mrs.
    Long, the two eighth english teachers at VBMS, edited my lesson once it was complete.

    2. How did the SOLs and Objectives help focus your instruction?
    The SOL objectives helped me pick out which questions to ask, because I wanted the students to have
    practice answering questions that would be similar to the questions that they would be asked on their SOL.

    3. What parts of the instructional plan worked as you anticipated?


    During Part one of the lesson that I taught on Friday the pear deck, audio, and PDF of “The Monkey’s Paw”
    all worked perfectly.

    4. What, if any, adjustments needed to be made once you begin?


    On Tuesday when I taught part two of the lesson, the smart board was not working. In order to adapt I read
    the story allowed, since we could not play the audio. Luckily each student logs into Pear Deck onto their
    chromebooks, so they could still see and answer the questions.

    5. How well did you anticipate the materials needed?


    Very well, all they needed were their school issued chromebooks to complete the Pear Deck.

    6. How effective was the assessment you chose to use? (If no assessment was used, what will the future
    assessment be and how will you gauge its effectiveness?)
    At the end of the lesson each student had to write a POWER paragraph on how the mood changed from the
    beginning of the story to the end, using examples from the text. This was an effective assessment, because
    I could see which students understood the story and how the mood was changing, and which students may
    need some more help.

    7. To what degree do you feel that this lesson was a success? What evidence do you have for the success of
    the lesson? (Hint: Student learning is the key to a lesson’s success!)
    I feel that this lesson was successful because during class many of the students were answering questions
    allowed, and making great inferences and comments about the story. Their POWER paragraphs also showed
    me that the students understood the story and how to analyze it.

    8. How did the time spent preparing for your lesson contribute to its success?
    I started working on this lesson plan a couple weeks ago, which allowed Mrs. Horner and Mrs. Long to make
    changes to the Pear Deck to make it even better and more successful.
    9. If you could do this lesson again with the same students, would you do anything differently? If so, what?
    I would have a working smart board so that the students could see each other's responses, and we could
    listen to the audio.

    10. Any last comments/reflections about your lesson?


    It was so much fun to get to teach in person, and I cannot wait for my next Lesson!
