Lesson Reflection
1. As I reflect on the lesson, to what extent were students/clients productively engaged? (Brief
description of how they were or were not productively engaged.)
The opening activity was very engaging where students have to be out of their seats and working with
their classmates to put the correct answers under the different inhalant categories. The Youtube video is
also engaging because during the video students have to follow along and answer the questions on the
worksheet from the video. The Webquest is very engaging also because students have to read and analyze
the websites on their own in order to answer the worksheet questions.
2. Did the students/clients learn what I intended them to learn? (list objective) Were my instructional
goals met? How do I know? Or how and when will I know?
Yes because my objectives are very specific. Students were able to use their cognitive abilities to complete
the white board activity, the YouTube video, and the Webquest as they were learning about inhalants.
Students physically completed the white board activity with the proper answers. The students became
aware of what inhalants do to a person by watching the YouTube video and completing the worksheet
that goes along with it.
3. Did I alter my goals or my instructional plan as I taught the lesson? Why?
4. If I had the opportunity to teach this lesson again to this same group of students/clients, what
would I do differently? Why?
