Personal Reflection On Adaptation

Improved Essays
Phase 3 part 2 for me went well. That day I was sick, and I thought I was going to do horrible. April and I got there like 20 minutes earlier. We went to get a table and set up our games next to each other. A table was not enough because there was not enough space for both games. We should have putted two tables instead of one. Also, I had a display about adaptation, but it was too small, and visitors were not able to see it. At first, there were not many visitors at the museum, but after half an hour or less it got a little bit crowded. The first ones that play our games were some GEPs. They made me feel more comfortable and relax. We had lots of kids playing both games (April’s and mine). Most of my guests were young children with their …show more content…
I also asked them “do you want to play a game”, and I would explain to them what the game was about. As well, I tried to relate animals with our lives, one example is the deer, I asked them the deer lives near us where the deer live. I also added adaptation to my game, and I had a display that included information about adaptation. On game day in class, I did not have the display about adaptation. Also, on game day I just gave an informal explanation about what my game was going to be about. Playing the game with my peer was very helpful because they gave useful feedback, and the changes I made to my game were base on their feedback. It made me feel confident about my game, and also gave me some practice for the Perot. I felt successful, because everything worked out well. I would give myself an 8, because I know that even though everything worked out well, I could do much better. I knew the content, but I think , I focused more on one subject such as the animals habitat, and structural adaptation, and there are many more things that could explained about adaptation. I did a good job interacting with visitors, and was not nervous as thought I was going to

    During the summer, I taught reading, math, and science to a small 3rd grade class. It was up to me to determine the right method of teaching based off a teaching plan that was provided. I knew that lecturing 3rd graders for 2.5 hours would not help me to get my message across. Therefore, I decided to create fun, educational games that the children can play while still learning the material. Not only did I excite them by allowing them to play games as a team, I was able to see how they communicated with each other.…

    Response To Change

    Upon immediate arrival of contention in a point of your life are you to flee or feud? Evidently, the basis of this text stands upon whether our response to change is vital to life. Indubitably the statement is verified by the virtue of a multitude of factors. To be precise; our response to change can be bilateral; meaning that it may have a negative impact on life or a positive impact on life, but unquestionably it will have an impact on life. In the pursuing paragraphs the reasoning of our response to change will not only be proven to be significant but why the choice to respond and how we react are significant; as well as the effects of one's moral thinking and decisional concept that is at play.…

    How To Read Aloud

    My read aloud did not followed my lesson plan, before I read the story to the students, I forgot to show the students all the pictures in the storybook as I planned. The high points from my read aloud were that the students were engaged by acting out as baby owls or owl mother, and answering the questions from the storybook. The weak points from my read aloud were reading the story too fast, and after I asked a question to the students, I should wait a little longer wait time for the students to think and response. To make the read aloud better for next time, I will need to slow down my speed and pause as needed. Also, after reading the story, I should ask the students some questions for them to connect their own experiences with the story,…

    It is important to adapt as the world changes. If we stick to the old ways while they are using new and more advanced technology, we would never accomplish anything. I too agree that there needs to be limitations. As long as they are listening and looking through phones to prevent or stop an attack I'm okay with that.…

    Based on the answers we received, we were able to get a better idea of what is going well and what is not going well in our class. We are used to having our own opinions about how a particular activity or class may have gone, but we found it really helpful to get a clearer image through student feedback. While some of the responses are what we anticipated, some were a bit eye-opening. For example, while we expected that students might want to see less lecture-style facilitation taking place during class, we were surprised to learn that an overwhelming majority of our class would like to see fewer icebreakers. From our perspective, we thought the icebreakers seemed to go quite well and it appeared that students were enjoying the chosen activities.…

    In thinking of personal change right off the bat I personally view it as a point in time in my life where I felt like things took a turn and shifted. At the age of nineteen, going into my sophomore year of college I never realized how much change has occurred in my life until I start doing reflection and thinking about events that have motivated me into being the leader that I am proud to be today. It is truly a multitude of events that have led to be forming my personal definition of leadership. However, in this essay, I am going to discuss how my father's passing shifted my life, since it forced me to grow up at 15. While also sparking a flame within me to be more self-driven and recognize my adoration for relationship building in leadership.…

    Cognitive Map Analysis

    The main theoretical framework that we followed was the Cognitive Map Theory as the children had already learned about forestry so we were solidifying what they had learned and adding new bits of information to help with cohesion of the theory. We used many questions to gain insight as to what the children did and did not know. This method was used to trigger the mind maps of each student and help to draw on those concepts. We also incorporated the elaboration likelihood model in that most of the information we provided to the children was from a credible source which would follow the central route of processing. These messages were simplistic, represented in text through slideshow, which allowed the children to base the merit of the information…

    The positives of my teacher were present mainly in terms of motivation. The students (My peers) praised me on the positive re-enforcement I gave them during the lesson. I also believe another strength of mine is questioning, this is incredibly important as Vygotsky theorized that children learn better when given structured and analytical questions by the teacher. I think I scaffolded the children well into the activity.…
