KWL Reflection

I thought this was a really cool experience getting to present on a learning strategy. I liked it because while presenting it was interesting having the mindset of a teacher and seeing how well a lot of different strategies can be woven together. Before Caroline and I decided to do a video rather than have the class read a passage to practice the KWL, I thought about the possibilities of Turn and Talk and Read Aloud that could be done using the passage that we were doing a KWL with.

I think Caroline and I did a good job of taking a strategy that many of us are familiar with and putting a twist on it by pairing it with a video. I think we did a good job of engaging with the class as well and gaging what our peers would find interesting. One thing I think we could have done better is been more familiar with the material. Both of us definitely knew what we were talking about but for myself, I find myself stumbling over my words and jumbling them all up when I get excited and haven’t gone over the material enough times. 

^Me when I can't get my words out!!

I think that this is something that for me will get better with more practice speaking in front of groups. I don’t think this took away from the presentation though it is just something that I personally want to improve on in presentation in general but specifically in this presentation on KWL. Overall I really enjoyed the experience!
