Rich Task Reflection

I learned a lot working with my group for this project. One of the things we really focused our attention on at first was getting to know what exactly should constitute a "rich task." Once we were sure we've wrapped our head around the idea, we shared ideas that we could use for teaching our lesson. Something that I was surprised to learn was that once we had selected a lesson, how difficult it would be to adapt the lesson to fit our class's needs. It is something valuable to remember, though, especially when thinking about how lessons and projects will need to be adapted through the various classes.

It was also very interesting watching other groups do their lessons and also very helpful. There were a lot of tips that I was able to take from how the other lessons were presented, how they decided to assess students, and what kind of reflection questions were asked after the lesson was completed. I thought it was interesting that both of the other groups decided to use a worksheet to follow along with their lessons, however, they used the worksheets in a way that was actually helpful to the students and not just as a time filler.
