Lesson 2 Reflection

Content:

1.What are you most proud of in your Lesson 2 Presentation and why?

I'm most proud of my activity (teaching the class how to make guacamole to the groups) for this 2nd lesson. I feel that my instructions were clear, the process was simple, and that the activity really helped to give students their first push into the world of Culinary Arts. Additionally, I had many compliments from the audience regarding it's originality and creativity.

2. a.What assessment would you give yourself on your Lesson 2 Presentation (self-assessment)?

       AE      

   b.     Explain why you deserve that grade using evidence from the Lesson 2 component contract.

Judging by the requirements for a P, my presentation fits all the criteria. My presentation appeared to be solid, punctual, easy to follow, and transitioned well between slides. I annunciated well giving said presentation as well as making sure to cite numerous sources and present a clear argument for my answer. I believe the positive reception as well as the meaning behind my activity stand above and beyond many other activities in terms of depth and entertainment.

3. What worked for you in your Lesson 2?

For lesson 2,what worked well was starting early on the entire presentation. I started about the second day after being assigned the presentation and I spent a couple minutes each day looking at what material I would want to cover as well as discussing with family and teachers what might work for an activity. I did not procrastinate as much as others and finished my presentation with days to spare, which I used to proofread and revise. 

4. What didn't work? If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your Lesson 2?

To be honest, I felt prepared, organized, and all around ready for this presentation. If I had to change anything, I would simply have gone back in time to buy less ripe avocados for my activity, as I saw many students groan at the sight of them.

5. What do you think your answer #2 is going to be?

My EQ is "what is the best way to teach a beginner to the culinary field how to cook". My first answer was to gain first hand experience in the field by practicing dishes. My second answer might be something regarding learning concepts through online resources or literature.
