Every evaluation I received from piers said that they could identify all areas of the BOOPPPS lesson plan format. I felt the hardest area to cover was the bridge, since we didn't know what would come right before my lesson. I ended up relating my lesson to the one that finished right before and also gave a bit of background as to why I chose this topic.
All of the evaluations suggested different areas of development. One was timing, because my teaching lesson didn't quite make it to 10 minutes. I was expecting this suggestion because I felt that I rushed slightly through the lesson. I had timed the lesson at home and it was 10 minutes but perhaps in front of a group the pace tends to speed up. Another suggestion was to take into account that certain positions require flexibility that some students didn't have. The third suggestion was to perhaps give individual feedback to each person while they are attempting the positions and give adjustments. The last suggestion I recieved was to perhaps take the lesson further and teach ballet movements rather than just positions. All of these suggestions were great because they were things I did not think of, especially giving individual adjustments and help. Another improvement I would like to develop is incorporating more humor into lessons.
All the evaluations highlighted that one of the lessons strengths was the post-test I did with candy as a prize. I too was expecting this to be unique to my lesson.
