=Reflection: = For this assignment, I created a lesson for the students in my After-School Program. The content area that I focused on for this lesson was Science, specifically the states of matter. I selected this lesson because my students enjoy participating in hands-on activities that require inquiry, discovery, and cooperative __learning__. In this lesson, we begin by reading the book, //Bartholomew and the Oobleck//, written by Dr. Seuss. After reading the book, we continue the lesson by discussing the different states of matter and then by making a unique substance called “oobleck”. “Oobleck” is a mystery matter that changes from a solid to a liquid which allows the students to experience the content in a visual way. I didn’t necessarily learn anything new about this content area, but it definitely refreshed my memory as I studied the material that I would teach to my students. While completing this assignment, I actually learned a great __deal__ of information on the program, //Kompozer//. I attempted to retrieve __help__ from the internet and I also contacted //GoDaddy//, but I basically had to learn the features on my own (pertaining to my Internet Domain). I encountered several difficulties while organizing my domain into different folders, and I became really frustrated because I modified the website many times and would upload it to my domain but the changes would not be displayed. Unfortunately, I still do not understand how to alter the URL where it only shows certain information; however, I hope to acquire this skill in the near future. Ultimately, I learned a lot from this assignment, including information about //Kompozer// and my //GoDaddy// domain (maybe next time I won’t be so frustrated with uploading websites to my domain, but it seems like I always encounter problems!)
