Final Reflection:

How did you prepare:
I figured I'd first read the book before I taught a lesson on it, so I went and did that. The lesson plan was made during the lab with my partner (who disappeared when it came to the actual lesson). As for preparing for behaviors, I figured I would just improvise since the behaviors were probably going to be something unpredictable (they were, I had a bomb threat in my class and was absolutely flabbergasted by it).

Explain the objective and assessment measures of your lesson:
Students will be able to answer the questions on the hand out sheet.
Students will become familiar with The Jungle by Upton Sinclair
Students will be able to write a one page paper summing up atleast 3 things that struck them as interesting.

The lesson plan: How it went:
It went well enough. I was hoping for my partner to show up and explain the historical impact of the book in further detail but aside from that it went as planned.

What needs to be improved:
I need to make more detailed lesson plans, pay more attention to group pairings to see if anyone is without a partner, and I also need to take death threats more seriously.

Things I learned:
Behaviors influence and feed each other. Disruptions will spread unless stemmed immediately.

Thoughts on other classes:
I really liked the idea of collecting phones at the start of class, it seemed to stem potential phone problems and distractions. What I didn't care much for were the overly long podcasts in some of the classes. They dragged on and despite getting mostly good behavior cards I found it difficult to follow most of the time.
