Blog 11: Lesson 1 Reflection

Many people do not know a lot about suicide, and my goal for the end of this year, is to educate as many people as I can on different ways to help those who may be considering suicide and potentially save lives.

1. What are you most proud of in your lesson, and why?
For my lesson, I am most proud of my hook activity because my main intent was to try to lighten up the mood before I began talking about my topic which can be a bit dark to understand - suicide. The hook activity was a game called “Fact or Fiction,” which is like a game show in which the audience has to try to determine whether or not a statement on suicide is indeed a fact or fiction.

2. What assessment would you give yourself on your lesson? Explain why you earned that grade using evidence from the component contract.
I would give myself a P+ because I met all the requirements for content of the lesson including 3 realistic scenarios, 5 bullets of content, potential answers to my EQ, and references to online sources and my mentorship, in addition to meeting the time requirements. Not only this but I also was able to keep my audience engaged for almost my entire presentation which not many people were able to do.

3. If you could go back, what would you change about your lesson?  How can you use that knowledge to give a better Lesson 2?

If I could change something about my lesson, I would give the ending to the stories that my mentor shared with me. I would also have visuals which everyone could see because I had one chart and another poster that I don't think everyone could see which may have hindered how people took my presentation.
