The best lesson we ever delivered was our Imrpov activity. We were nervous that students would not feel comfortable doing Improv because it pushes you out of your comfort zone, but surprisingly this was the most engagement we had. With Improv there is freedom and a lot up for interpretation. Students did not feel pressure to look or move a certain way and the activities in this unit make you feel relaxed and sometimes provide a good laugh.

My lesson was  badminton unit.
It was successful because 1. Everyone was new to the activity. It was not a normal everyday activity that can be done on a regular basis. 2. Everyone was able to be engaged throughout the activity through chunking and scaffolding.  Everyone seemed to have fun through every physical level and we’re able to participate.
Data:
Activities the students were most successful were the ones that were low-moderate play. Everyone was able to be engaged and have fun.
Tchoukball, badminton, dodgebee, Matt ball.
We can use data to drive instruction is to keep them engaged and motivated through competitive/team work collaborative instruction.

Composition- We went over the different types of composition in artworks. Viewed visual examples for each type. Students matched the types of composition to the images. Students then created their own artwork based on one of the compositions learned. They had to include an animal in some way.

This lesson was successful because students were able to understand the types of compositions and felt confident in creating their own artwork. (kids love animals too)

Looking at last semesters data, my students were most successful in the 4 year plan.

I think the reason these are the most productive rehearsals is because students naturally become more attentive prior to the performance, but also prior to the performance, students come to class more and more prepared based on their cumulative learning throughout the unit.

We had an after school rehearsal last semester that was very successful. Everyone came on-time and prepared with a great attitude. I explained the goals of the rehearsal clearly when we began, I thought my pacing held the group on task and interested in what we were doing in the moment. I think it was successful because the goals and steps along the way were challenging, yet achievable for the students, and I delivered instructions in a manner that they could latch on to and work with. I kept my attitude positive, and the students reciprocated. While there were some moments where focus started to wane, I was quick to redirect the students and they responded appropriately. By the end of the rehearsal, the students and directors all knew how much we had gotten done and felt good about their efforts.

We were able to set foundational skills in volleyball. Teaching students to bump, pass, serve and set. Also teaching the correct way to play full game.
What made the unit such a success, was that the students were able to self teach and cooperate to make sure that rules were being followed and that the points were given to the correct team.

We read an article collectively about a teen on death row. Then students were engaged and it sparked questions. They were surprised how they could relate to the teen. The lesson taught them deeper thinking and more about text evidence as well as personal lessons. As a result it inspired more students to read and some to read outside their comfort genres.

So far this year, the best lesson I delivered was a lesson where I prepared students for individual student conferences (and goal setting) then met individually with students to monitor their growth.  Students felt empowered and many of them showed dramatic improvement in the semester  as a result of conferencing, evaluating, and reflecting on their individual  progress.
This lesson was exceptional because students developed the initiative to monitor their own growth and make improvements.

I first used the both melodies as a sight-singing exercise.  Then, I made sure each section could sing both melodies with no rhythm or pitch errors. Finally, I switched up the groups to sing each melody at a different time up to 4 vocal sections at a time. It went well because I structured it in small sections and didn't move on until they could sing it without any errors.

Best lesson we did was the Reality Check. I gave each student a personalized real world scenario, i.e. you are single and have 1 kid. You live inba 2 bedroom apartment and have a new car. The student then went to a website to discover the cost of of living for someone in that situation and compared that with their chosen career field. I think the reason for the success was two fold; first of all, the students were interacting with web technology and secondly, the lesson had direct real-world application and relevance.

We show a 2 minute clip from Frozen 2 where Olaf tells the events of the first Frozen in an expressive way. We use this because Josh Gad was in Speech and Debate.

The students are then tasked with choosing another Disney movie (each kid has to choose a different movie) and they record themselves detailing the events of the movie in an extremely expressive manner in 2 minutes or less.

This lesson was successful because engagement was so high. Also, the quality of product turnout showed the kids true talent. The stories were phenomenal and kids truly brought them through life through their words.

Mental health project. They researched a mental illness of their choice to research and give facts about it.

pinhole camera lesson where students turned the room into a pinhole camera / camera obscura, showed the kids what the end goal of their individual project was but in a collaborative manner that allowed for different ideas & problem solving before sitting down individually and getting frustrated with the process before

I did a lesson over characterization. They had a five day rehearsal packet that they had to follow everyday. The students really enjoyed the structure and accountability the packet provided. The performances were better than ever before. All the students were a lot more comfortable performing since they had a while to prepare.

Active Day

This is where our students get to choose an active activity of their choice as long as they are moving around and engaged in their activity.

My most productive lessons tend to be on performance dates and dates leading up to a performance.

Students were successful in all areas because the content all directly related to them and their high school career as well as their post secondary goals.

I asked students to make a realistic rendering of a head, most likely a self portrait. Then they were to replace the face part with an imaginary image of their choice.  The inside image should seem like it exists inside the head. It should be a unique image that speaks of the individual who made it. It was successful because it had enough structure ro carry the organization of the work but was open enough ro allow for individual creativity.

1) Pickleball tournament.
2) The kids who normally do not like to participate, were engaged as their team was relying on them and every team member was needed. It was double elimination so all students had opportunities for success. In addition, for the championship game, we made it a big deal and the whole class was very excited.

Health

In class we were talking about nutrition/ fitness. It fell on the week before Halloween. I bought a mixture of candy for my class. They each got to choose two of their favorite pieces of candy. We then looked at the nutritional facts of the candy & what would need to be done to “work off” the candy. It was successful because the kids were engaged & had fun learning to read nutritional labels & put into action their learning.

Students used individual dry erase boards to check for understanding. Students were fully engaged and they enjoyed the competition.

Last semester, students were most successful in growth on individual performances. This requires the students to perform in a small group (or, ideally, individually) on a section of the music being learned for the current unit.

For music/choir, data is best measured on student sight reading. This is an objective measurement.

The best lesson I delivered was a lesson on Dual Credit courses and the advantages and disadvantages of taking the courses along with making the students aware if the classes offered on our campus. The lesson was successful because the students were engaged, rearranged their 4 year plans, and asked higher end thought provoking questions related to the classes and their futures.

Students were very engaged and the poster conversations were very strong about what was happening and what was expected.

Marketing posters, design projects and makeup techniques. Computer and hands on.

Based on the data it was the students interaction with me throughout the process
