I have not had the opportunity to teach this lesson.
While creating this lesson I learned several important things:
1. This takes much longer than it seems like it should.
2. Creating supplementary materials, almost takes longer than the actual lesson writing itself
3. UDL can prove challenging to implement.
4. It is very difficult to predict how long each activity will take.
I am hoping that as I continue to write my lessons, they will get easier and take less time to complete. This
project is giving me a new appreciation for what my teachers do every day for 5-10 classes, and it seems
even more impressive now that I have had to do the same for 3 classes.

I have not had the opportunity to teach this lesson. I am beginning to realize how hard it is to cross
curriculum lines with this topic. Kitchens are not something that most subjects talk about. I found that I
can make a connection to the technology GLCES for Michigan in several places in my unit, but other than
that I have not yet found a way to do that.
I am hopeful that the speed competition will work as a motivator for the students. Since they must know the
vocabulary to go quickly, I hope that this causes them to desire to study the vocabulary and work on
learning it.

I have not had the opportunity to teach this lesson. While creating it, I had to wrestle with how to create an
effective activity that would combine everything that they have learned thus far, while still being
interesting and engaging for the students. My solution was to create an adaptation of Chutes and Ladders,
which was one of my favorite childhood games. While this is an effective review tool, I was not fully aware
of how much time I would have to spend making it and the materials that go along with it, such as game
cards and finding the game board, player pieces, dice, etc. I found myself asking if there was an easier way,
but the solutions I continued to arrive at were not motivating or engaging for the students. Looking back
at my own language class, I have begun to wonder about the choices that my teacher made to use the kill
and drill method. Was it because she thought that it was a good method, or was it simply that she did not
have enough time to create all of the needed materials for other activities.

I have not been able to teach this lesson in my classroom. In this lesson the students are given the
opportunity to share their iMovie projects with the class. I feel that by telling them in advance that their
peers will be seeing the movies, it make the students want to do their best, since they do not want to look
bad in front of their friends. It also allows them to see what others did and see the many different ways the
project could have been done. It is also a sneaky way to have them hear the vocabulary repeatedly, without
them becoming bored or feeling too repetitive, since all of the movies will be unique.
