presentation fulfilling requirements of project as well as presented
in a timely manner, showing suitable knowledge of assigned topic,
the Holocaust, and World War II at large. |

|
8. Teacher Reflection-
|
| Abnormally high degree of students turned project in past deadline,
leading me to believe the deadline may have needed to be lengthened
or importance of deadline stressed more strongly. Final products were
overall complete and showed considerable effort, while some students
remained somewhat confused as to the exact requirements of their original
work. I have taken note of this and will make future assignment expectations
more clear. |
