What went well and what didn't go well during the implementation of your lesson?
-During my lesson, I think that the way I implemented technology went rather well and the students were engaged throughout the duration of the lesson. Admittedly, I think that there were more rough spots than I had originally anticipated. Planning lessons are particularly hard because you never know what kind of obstacles will come up or how the students will react. On the other hand, teachers shouldn't necessary expect certain responses from students, since all students are different and can have a different mindset. In my case, I think the biggest roadblock was creating an iMovie. My peers, from what I could tell, were really interesting in creating it but with little prior knowledge as to how to navigate the program, I felt like the students spent more time trying to figure out how it works than actually creating their movie.
How well was the alignment to objectives and standards maintained?
-I think that my lessons aligned pretty well with the objectives and standards I had listed and planned to meet in my lesson. Students were able to get a better idea of the central idea and/or theme of the novel we were studying by relating it to themselves. When there is a personal connection met to a lesson, I think that students are more prone to understanding a lesson and sometimes, are even more prone to take something away from it.
Describe any modifications made during the implementation of the lesson.
-I don't think I strayed particularly far away from my original lesson plan, with the exception of reading a shorter passage from the novel than I originally thought. I did this for a couple of reasons, namely that the passage was a lot longer than I had thought and with the time limit given, I didn't want to take that time away from my students knowing that they had to create a movie. Otherwise, I stayed close to my original lesson plan.
