Blog 11 - Lesson 1 Reflection


I have successfully completed my first Lesson of my Senior Project. 

1. What are you most proud of in your lesson, and why?

I am most proud of how much content I was able to teach my classmates during my presentation and the amount of real-life examples I presented as examples. I am most proud of this because I felt that it made my topic more relatable to my classmates and a bit more intriguing.

2. What assessment would you give yourself on your lesson? Explain why you earned that grade using evidence from the component contract.

I would give myself a low AE or a high P on this presentation because I did meet most of the standards outlined in the contract and I felt that I included a lot of good content that demonstrated how knowledgeable I am about my topic. My presentation was more than eight minutes long and it included information on a bit of what I did during mentorship, real-life relatable examples, I defined my topic thoroughly, and I introduced my essential questions as well as included possible solutions. I spoke loud and clear and tried to keep an even tone throughout my presentation. My hook brought up a well known topic (Britney Spears and her crazy phase, in which her parents filed a conservatorship.) I feel that I ended my presentation well with the first lesson that I learned during my first day at mentorship, and that was that the law bends not for those who are right, but those who present the best case.

3. If you could go back, what would you change about your lesson?  How can you use that knowledge to give a better Lesson 2?

If I redo my lesson, I would include a bit more information on the solutions I have in mind for my essential question. I would also include more stastics about cases and further in depth content on civil cases as a whole such as how many go to trial on average.
