Some of the questions the answer was St. Mary's City which threw the students off because it was not one of the matrices. Most of the other questions either team was able to answer. The knowledge of the six settlements. he students were able to take the information from the matrices to answer the questions. || Reflection: Address a minimum of three of the following questions:
 * ** Analysis:  **

What is working? What is not? For whom? Why?

How did you use informal feedback from the students to make instructional decisions while you were teaching the lesson?

What changes would you make to your instructional procedure that would improve student learning?

How effective were your assessment tools in helping you monitor student progress? What modifications would you make to help students better demonstrate their learning?

How did the feedback you gave students help address their needs in relation to the instructional objectives?

Analyze your biggest challenge during this lesson. What did you learn through it? How does that impact your future decision-making?

Based on the results of this lesson, what are your next steps?

What big ideas or insights are you developing about teaching? || <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This lesson showed the students were able to collabroratively work as a team to answer the question. After each question the students were given time to work together to answer the question. If a team member gave the wrong answer, the team did not give that memeber a hard time which showed me they were working together as a team. The studnets also did not get too loud and I was able to manage the volume of the class. If I was to do this lesson again I may make a new powerpoint seperate from the one the county provided. The one provided had five or six questions on each slide without the answer. I would of put one question on each slide so it was not distracting to the students. I would then display the answer after each question so the students could visualize it and read it for themselves and not just listen to me. Therefore, the teams used in this lesson worked well and this group of students work well with one another. There were few times where all the students did not agree and they were able to talk through the answer. I believe the font on the powerpoint could have been larger so it was easier for the students to see. ||
