Reflection – The biggest challenge during my lessons was honestly behaviors and handling them on the spot. For example, when two students got into a physical fight during studio time, we had to quickly jump in to diffuse the situation safely. Also, I did have to come up with extra extended activities for students who finished early and then pushed through other extra activities. This was unexpected because they often took a lot of time to finish their normal projects. I think the best part of my lesson was my worksheets and ideation! Students got to pick exactly what their character would look like, but the ideation sheets helped to guide them to their character.
