Reflection Together, as a class, we have been exploring fables and the components that make up a fable. The students have had several chances to break stories down into components. They have brought myths and fables from home and shared them with the class. In small groups, the students have also created their own fables and shared them with the class. We have come to the end of the unit and I have decided that the best way for students to demonstrate mastery of fables and their components…

allowed me to see the challenges throughout the experience and what are ways I can do as an education leader to improve in those areas. The overall experience allowed me to see what I learned and what areas I can improve on when I’m in the role of an educational leader. Allowing me to reflect after each activity forces me to be detailed in my work. As a teacher reflecting on our work is something we do on a daily basis. After each lesson we teach we do a self-reflection in order to grow as a…
