Reflection Reflections on Design before you teach your lesson. There is such a wide variety of products on the market that it can become daunting to choose one for any given project. I think people then just choose very randomly. Hoping this lesson will clear some of it up. I am also concerned that this lesson could be boring to students, due to them not finding fillers all that important. When thinking about that I am hoping I can get it across to them that this is a crucial step that should not be taken to lightly. Reflections on Instruction after you teach your lesson.
