Self & Peer Assessment of My First Lesson Plan

My Wonderful Peers found that my lesson plan of how to throw a Frisbee disc has:
- a good bridge: Ultimate Trivia
- clear objective
- good hands-on activity and engaging, pairing up in practice the throws
- a good structure but a bit too jumpy and the conclusion or wrap part needs more connection
- lastly i spoke a little too fast at the end

Self-Assessment:
- I have enthusiasm for the topic
- I think the trivia was good as my peers did not know that much about some facts of Ultimate
- I might have focus a bit too much on explaining about how to play Ultimate - might be a bit off my
objective of how to throw a disc/peers was a bit distracted when I was explaining
I also need to work on not to speed through the lesson; I tend to be too simplified in my instructions
I should start by pretending my students know nothing about the subject matter
I definitely notice that I speak fast towards the end of my lesson and I need to work on ending the
lesson
- I was lucky that I get to see Amelia in presenting the same topic
- I notice that she was more at ease and did a superb job in explaining the basic throws
- One thing I really like about her participatory structure is that she taught everyone one throw and let
them have the opportunity to practice it right away then brought everyone back to learn the next
type of throw - that was what I needed, not to rush through the actual teaching part
- Other than that, I have had great peers who all seem happy to learn how to throw a disc
I also get the chance to learn something else, too
