Lesson Evaluation:
(Reflect on the lesson. What worked? What did not work? What would you change? Why?)

By far my best lesson, the topic content was easy to engage the students as
they seemed to be interested in the Black Death, and so was I.
I had a great engaging start to the lesson by some good questioning time to
access prior knowledge.
My instruction was a lot clearer so there was no time wasting I relaying
repetitive questions.
Because of the nature of the tasks, students finished early and I could shift
them onto getting ready for the next task with ease as I walked around the
classroom.
I thought the few times students spoke over me I managed their behavior by
a tap on the shoulder
I could work on getting students to come up and get the worksheet rather
than me handing them out, it took a while.
Also during instruction I should have said no hands on laptops because they
served as a distraction
