Lesson 2

March 15,

(I taught this lesson by myself.) Today's lesson focus was on the evaluation of wants and needs. I know that this lesson is a very important lesson not only for their academic development but great in their personal life. Therefore, I chose to have a theme of "packing for a trip" because each student has had the experience of preparing for a trip whether it be to their aunt's house or a summer in Jamaica.

Using a real life "packing" worked out to be very beneficial for the students. Everyone was engaged and excited while I discussed what was in my bag. After I had them answer if I did a good job and their answers allowed me to make a clear assessments of where each student was at the beginning and by the end of lesson in regards to their knowledge of wants and needs. Their performance on "packing" for their table's specific destination was very interesting. I could really see how the students processed what a want/need is in regards to their given destination. Like one student put suntain lotion as a want while another put it as a need for their trip to the beach. Reason behind the difference was for their complexion, so I saw that both students understood what a want/need were to them. Overall I felt this lesson to be a successful and be very enjoyable!
