Blog 22: Senior Project Reflection


(1) Positive Statement

What are you most proud of in your Block Presentation and/or your senior project? Why?
- I was able to meet the time requirement of thirty minutes. At first I wasn't confident that I was going to make so, I feel proud that I was able to.

(2) Questions to Consider

a.     What assessment would you give yourself on your Block Presentation (self-assessment)?

      P       

b.     What assessment would you give yourself on your overall senior project (self-assessment)?

      P 

(3) What worked for you in your senior project?






- I was able to find a mentor (Ms. De La Pena) that was willing to help me, we formed a really good relationship. She also referred me to Yadira Rivera who works in the special education department with a few highly autistic students, so that I could go observe her classroom.

(4) (What didn't work) If you had a time machine, what would have you done differently to improve your senior project if you could go back in time?

- Have more structure in the classroom, speak a little more confidently. Have a more hands on experience with children that have autism; not just learning from observation.

(5) Finding Value

How has the senior project been helpful to you in your future endeavors? Be specific and use examples.
- The volunteer work (mentorship) was enjoyable and it also counts for my community hours that I need for college. Also, knowing about autism helped me learn about other types of disorders which helped me learn about different types of behaviors. Now I am able to comprehend why some people act the way they do, when at first I didn't.

Blog 16: Advisory Meeting #2

Content:

Just like you did for answer 1 and the objectives for Purther's textbook work for answer 2 post:

EQ:
- What is the best resource a special education team can provide high function autistic children in elementary school to promote academic success?

Answer #2 (Write in a complete sentence like a thesis statement)*:
- Provide structured programs that will help the students in helping them with consistency.

3 details to support the answer (a detail is a fact and an example):
- Community activities that will help the student experience real life situations that are not usually presented to them.
- An example of a minor program would be a program for brushing teeth. Students take home a step-by-step process for brushing their teeth. Since brushing teeth is a daily routine, this will help them with consistency.
- Reading programs are important for children, especially those with autism. A program with reading will help students with their vocabulary. (Since some autistic children have limited vocabulary, this would count as one of the most important programs)

The research source (s) to support your details and answer:
- ELIJAH School
- CafeMom
- Yadira Rivera

Concluding Sentence:
- Schools that will provide programs to children with needs will help with the child's consistency academically.

*Write your answer like you would write a thesis statement.  Please don't give us one or two words or start your sentence with by.

Blog 13: Lesson 2 Reflection

Due Date: The day after your lesson presentation by 8:00 A.M.

Content:

1. Positive Statement

What are you most proud of in your Lesson 2 Presentation and why?

- The only thing I would be proud of is my whole presentation template (not the one I turned in) because it had all the information I was going to give out, but couldn't really get to all of it.

2. Questions to Consider
       a.     What assessment would you give yourself on your Lesson 2 Presentation (self-assessment)?

                AP

       b.     Explain why you deserve that grade using evidence from the Lesson 2 component contract.

               Justification of Answer: did not site quality research


3. What worked for you in your Lesson 2?

- I was able to get feedback from students afterwards on what I had missed/didn't explain. (I need to explain what autism is, so that they understand better. Also, not many people really understand what autism is.)

4.  (What didn't work) If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your Lesson 2?
- Just make time to PRACTICE my presentation more.

5. Finding Value
What do you think your answer #2 is going to be?

- Something like keeping a positive mind and being supportive with the students' at all times.
