Blog 23: Final Lesson Plan Reflection

(1) What I'm most proud of about my senior presentation was that I was very knowledgable about my information and I didn't stutter. I have this tendency to stutter a lot so I was really surprised when my words came out very clear. I also made almost 40 minutes in just speaking about my answers 1,2, and 3 alone. So I was proud of that.
(2)
a.) I would give myself an AE.
b.) I would give myself a P.
(3) What worked well for my senior presentation is that I was always available to do mentorship hours and it was really easy to get to volunteer at the day care I did my mentorship at. There were many opportunities.
(4) If I could go back in time I would've drank tea or something because I was a bit shooken up in the beginning of my presentation. I was nervous at first. I was surprised people didn't notice.
(5) Yes, this project has been really helpful for me. It was helped me also gain social skills that I lack and helped me be more open to others. Also maybe to consider being a behavioral therapist as a career.

Blog 16: Answer 2

1. My EQ is: what is the best way to help a child with autism develop better social skills?
2. Through early interventions which the therapists and parents work together to reach the child's individual goals.
3. Family support is essential for the child to grow healthy and feel safe.
4.  -The parents are responsible for providing the child with the therapy and help they need if the child has a disability or developmental delay.
     -Parents cooperate with the therapist to help the child in any way.
     -Parents must accept and help their child with autism grow, learn, and fill them with love.
5. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/08/03/magazine/the-kids-who-beat-autism.html?_r=2
this supports my answer because it is a story of what the parents had to undergo and learn for the child with autism.
6. http://www.autistichoya.com/p/introduction-to-autism-faqs-of-autism.html
this also supports my answer because it has 15 sections and in one it explains how parents tie into their child's health.
7. Everyone needs family support in order to grow wiser and filled with love. Whether the child is autistic or not, they need their parents. That is the most important I believe.

Lesson 2 Reflection

1. For my Lesson 2 Presentation, what I am most proud of is that I actually made eye contact with the audience and I did not stutter as much as I used to as compared to my first presentation. It is really hard for me to make eye contact with people when I am presenting because I blank out a lot so it was a challenge for me. Stuttering has always been a problem, even when I speak with friends, so it was surprising to me that I did not stutter as much as I would've expected.
2. a) I would give myself a low P      b) Because I did not know I had to bring a prop so therefore I did not bring it with me...
3. What worked well was my activity, it really made sense with my answer.
4. What didn't work was that I should have been more specific in my presentation naming all the articles that I mentioned mostly when I mentioned the story. I mean I did have my works cited but it was different than actually bringing in the articles. Next time I will bring my articles I am mentioning with me, and also bring props.
5. For my answer #2, it is most likely going to be Become Your Own Child's Expert.

Blog 9: Lesson 1 Reflection

1. Positive Statement

What are you most proud of in your Lesson 1 Presentation and why?

 I'm most proud that I did not stutter as much as I normally do. I was prepared with all my information but since I was nervous I would glance over my paper a lot for no reason. 

2. Questions to Consider

       a. What assessment would you give yourself on your Lesson 1 Presentation (self-assessment)?

     AE       P          AP       CR       NC

       b. Explain why you deserve that grade using evidence from the Lesson 1 component contract.

 I think I deserve a "P" because I did everything that was on the rubric and I think I made time.

3. What worked for you in your Lesson 1?

 What worked for me was that I used good life examples since I personally know people that have autism.

4.  (What didn't work) If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your Lesson 1?

I would try not to glance over my paper as much and be less tense.
