Self-evalutaion Video
I was kinda disturbed watching myself teach. Although I like taking pictures when my hair is done, I don't think I like watching myself on video much. My video-taped lesson was one of my worst lessons ever! Beyond the disengaged look on my students' faces, I saw my quirky behaviors completely stand out. During classroom discussions, I have a habit of moving around a lot waiting for a student to answer a question. Also, I realized that I need better preparation and a plan B, just in case the students don't read the material to discuss the previous day.
My overall impression of the lesson is that it could have been better. Two ways that I know would have made a difference is the use of visual aides and more examples in the classroom to convey relationships. I feel that I am good at keeping the students on task, no matter how they would like to fall off. I think I should be more prepared for class. Maybe I should mentally review my lesson plan one extra time than usual to ensure my effectiveness. I learned that I should stop "dancing" while waiting for student response. Also I learned that I should put more emphasis on completing homework assignments.
