Reflection:

How did the lesson go? (Describe it)

• The lesson didn’t go as how I imagined it would have been, but I was definitely confident. As I started to tell the children we were going to make a Flavorful Fruity Salad they were all smiling. One child said, “Yay, we’re going to eat yummy fruits!” I loved explaining the steps and I think my lesson went really well.

What did you like the most? (Your strengths)

• What I liked most about my lesson was that I was able to assess the children with the chart that I created based on the most flavorful fruit.

What did you like the least? (Your areas of improvement)

• What I liked the least about my lesson was that I didn’t explain the different varieties or tastes they would encounter. I could improve by making sure that the children are able to tell me if the fruits were sour, sweet and etc.

Would you teach it exactly the same way next time you have to do a lesson similar to this one?

• I would definitely try to teach a lesson similar to my cooking lesson because I thought my lesson went well aside from my explanation on the different varieties or tastes the children would encounter.

What would you change/do differently to improve the lesson?

• I would improve my lesson by explaining the different varieties or tastes they would encounter. For example, the orange was really sweet and you can feel the pulp burst as you chew on the orange.
