Group 4- PPT on Drill and Practice Method of Direct Instruction
Here is my reflection on our presentation:
Three cheers to my group! Thank you all and I had a lot of fun putting this together with all of you.
1. I felt we were all very prepared and we, in fact, collaborated very successfully with Google Docs.
2. We all made good eye contact, voice projection and used the slides as guides and did not read from them too much. I personally read from the slides at times but only to make sure (with the aim, goal and objective) that I had the precise wording correct.
3. I thought our hook was engaging but then I realized that after we had the audience's attention I did not pre-assess knowledge right away (although I did after the advanced organizer- maybe the advanced organizer should've been after pre-assessment of knowledge?) nor did I repeatedly check for understanding. I see that as an error in the presentation.
4. We could've used the available technology more to enhance our presentation. Sadly, the only links we included did not work at the time despite the links working during our practice session.
5. I truly enjoyed working with Sally, Pam and Kelly. I knew that once we broke up the tasks, the tasks would be completely very well. And they were.
6. We also didn't really deliver the information in small, memorable chunks. I think all these skills develop with practice. Putting this presentation together made me aware of what skills are necessary to proficiently use drill and practice!
7. I did announce the aim, goal and objective to the class where I should have just realized that the learning opportunity activity would address those parts of the lesson naturally.
8. I agree with Sally that we should've presented the class with a summative assessment exercise to check for understanding.
9. I also used "will be able to" in my goal and objective. I now understand why that is not appropriate. I understand that there must be an observable or measurable element to the goal and objective.
Taking this time to reflect is a very important way for me to improve my skills.
