Poetry+Lesson+Reflection

===When beginning this lesson I was very nervous because of how the last lesson had gone but I felt that I had planned everything as well as I could. I think that it was because of this nervousness that I did not smile for the first 20 minutes. I will work on this for my next lesson. Once the lesson got going I became more confident. I tired my hardest to not rush the lesson to get to the activity. I think that I did a pretty good job with this and the students had a good understanding of what to do when I handed out the manipulatives. The students were very engaged in what was going on. They were so engaged in fact that I had a hard time getting their attention when it was time to share their poems. One thing I would have done differently would be having the students split up reading the poem because I called on a girl to read and by the time she was done she was out of breath. In the end it seemed that all if the students meet the objective. I was very well prepared and I think that played a major roll in the overall success of the lesson.===
