I think we felt rushed to implement the lesson and didn't accurately portray how it would've happened in the classroom. But also, a lot of things were different because we didn't actually utilize the word wall, the presentations, or the context the target words were found. I personally really liked the lesson and think it could be used for introductions into multiple units. I also liked how we came up with the idea of the word wall being used as a reference point throughout the unit/semester/year. I think as math teacher's sometimes it isn't as easy to display student's work in the classroom without making one student feel bad/one student feel superior because most of the time there's one specific answer you want them to find. Some unexpected challenges were that it took our class way shorter than we expected even for us to finish the graphic organizer. Also, some groups were being more detailed than others so it wasn't like everyone was finished at the same time.
I also think since we were cold-called on that we weren't as prepared to present. I know I hadn't looked over the lesson plan in over a week, so a few minutes to read it over and discuss with my group members would have been more helpful than trying to wing it in front of the class. Overall, I really liked the lesson in concept and wish we had more time to prepare it accurately or could've implemented it like we wanted to.
