News2You - Kite Month

Subject:
News2You
Topic:
Kite Month
Objective:
Students should be able to build understanding of the different uses of kites from the News2You PowerPoint. The students should be able to independently answer comprehension questions.
Reflection:
This was my first presentation. I was very nervous and lost my pacing at a few times. The attached videos to the PowerPoint provided me with a lot of pauses where I could collect myself. Meanwhile, the students were very engaged and excited for this presentation - mostly due to the nature of the videos of athletes using kites to fly or do tricks. This drew ooh's and ahh's from the students, which helped me gain some confidence. However, when doing the worksheets, I needed to be more clear about the directions since the students immediately went to work on them instead of waiting for me to begin the presentation. This threw me off because I wasn't sure if that was their normal routine or not. Overall, I felt like this presentation went smoothly, considering there were some concerns how some students might react to change.
