Mairead's Reflection:
I wasn't happy with how this activity went this time - all to do with me! I felt ok about the Q1 although I rushed them through some of the discussion. Then on Q2 I had a possibility for some really good discussion and again I just rushed it - after having a student put her work up on the document camera I really didn't give her time to explain what she had done - and it was really good!! Then I had to send them home with a lot of it and I think some good conversations come up on this activity in class so I tried to rectify that by discussing it at the beginning of the next class but many of them had not worked on it. I don't know it just felt like an activity that got away from me this time around. Hopefully I will do better with it next year!
