I think the success my students had was visible in their final results:
These Facebook pages shows their research and understanding of their historical figures. The presentations of these pages added to this (some of my students even presented as their person, which I think would be a fantastic reqirement). It truly shows what they have learned about their figure. Having the students cite their sources would have supported it even more, but with the time limit I couldn't ask that of them.
I think I had great success teaching the lesson. My students seemed very engaged and I facilitated by asking them about their pages as they were learning. I think I supported this with my reflection that the modifications went well and that I truly loved the presentation aspect. My peer comments reflected this success by saying that I was well prepared and supported individual needs. The one comment I got was that I could have made more time for each individual, which I think conferencing as the students are researching is a great idea that I would incorporate. Otherwise, everything went very well and I felt I had student understanding the entire time.
