I enjoyed reading this section of the chapter because I finally have the criteria for making a lesson plan. Out of all the education classes that I have had so far at Bradley, this is the first class that gave me the most information for building a lesson plan. I plan on using this general format for my future lesson plans for my classroom. One idea that stood out to me was that I should include the anticipated noise level in my classroom during each lesson. I think this is a great idea to keep in mind because when I have a substitute teacher, they will be informed that the class will be at a certain noise level. Overall, my lesson plans should be clear, concise, and informative. If another teacher, principal, or parent would like to know what is going on in the classroom, I would like them to be able to see what my class is doing that is helping their students advance in their learning capabilities.

This first part of the chapter talked a lot about assessments and evaluations. An assessment is a relative neutral process of finding out what students are learning. An evaluation is the more subjective process of making sense of what was found out. As teachers, it is important to know the difference between the two so we are able to know how we would like to asses or evaluate the students. After hearing what high-stake assessments are, I hope that I am confident in my students' abilities to do well in school so that they are not struggling to pass my class with one test. I will make sure to continuously check in with my students to see how their grades are, and if they need any extra assistance outside of class so they do not have to take a high-stake assessment.
Thank you, Julia:)
