Quality of Technological Interactivity: Superior (3)

Students were very engaged in this lesson because they enjoyed the subject matter, but also because there was a lot of opportunity for students to utilize technology (for their own needs or to follow teacher instruction).

Quality of Explanation of the Subject Matter: Strong (2)

If I could teach this lesson again, I would include a video or paragraph that explained to students how Earth Day became a holiday and what Americans do on this day.

Quality of Assessments: Strong (2)

While reflecting on this lesson, I would probably make the writing assessment an individual activity (instead of a group one). This is because it would be easier to assess each individual student separately, instead of in a group where each student is contributing to one product.
