Analysis & Reflection

I feel satisfied with this lesson because data shows me that they've met the lesson objective. Through the toothbrush activity, students were able to write sentences on how to keep their teeth healthy. Plus, the toothbrushes turned out very cute! I am planning to send them home to show their parents. I was also able to assess their understanding during the silent activity. This activity was engaging for students and helped refocus their attention.

I would make a few revisions to the lesson. First, I would recreate the "All About Teeth" PowerPoint and make it more interactive for the students. I noticed how I was losing their focus since I was doing most of the talking during the PowerPoint. I like Amanda's suggestion of changing it so that the slides only contain pictures and students have to figure out the healthy tips on their own. The PowerPoint would have been much more engaging and interactive this way. Another change I would make to the lesson is having students write the sentences first before decorating the name tag/toothbrush handle. I would start out by passing out white strips for students to complete their sentences and then have them come up to grab a colored strip of paper for the name tag once their sentences are finished.
