8. Teacher Reflection-
What went well in this lesson?
-- Students really enjoyed learning about the human body. Learning about how the body functions.
Problems I experienced ?
-- I experienced minor problems such as students unable to or unwilling to drawing body parts because of lack or artistic skills.
My lesson was students centered and classroom based to help ensure full understanding of the lesson and to benefit the students.
I will allow more paired group and group work so that students can work together more in order to share ideas and knowledge. I have learned that students really enjoy learning about the human body and how it functions. I have learned that group work really helps students that were struggling when they are placed with other students who seem to understand more.
