Week 6 Reflection

 In our discussion this week refined our objective writing skills using the ABCD Format. We placed those skills in small groups and then presented our examples to the class for further evaluation and critics. On Friday we discussed and revisited some examples of assessments in the classroom. These examples went beyond a written worksheet, they included thinking critically and expanding on one's knowledge. After revisiting these examples we were tasked to examine our own lesson we had written for our mathematics course. Upon reexamining my own work I reflected on the improvements I could make to my lesson plan and modified my assessments. This discussion helped me evaluate how learning can be monitored in the classroom can be done in many different formats of formative assessments. Below are some of the modifications I made to my lesson plan. 

After our discussion in class, I discovered that my first assessment is assessing students' prior knowledge of shapes and should be done as an opener or at the beginning of the class for the teacher to evaluate what students know already and areas to revisit. I also modified my exit ticket to include a think-pair-share within my lesson as well as another format for assessing my students' knowledge.
