My group taught the class about emotional and behavioral disorders. We focused mainly on depression, bipolar disorder, OCD, anxiety, schizophrenia, PTSD, and conduct disorders. Through our research on this project and through putting it together, I have learned a lot about different disorders that people have, and I think that I have developed more sympathy for people who struggle with these things.
I felt that we had a pretty good lesson delivery for the most part. I think that we used a variety of strategies to teach and to get our point across. These strategies included using a movie, doing a scenario, and using a powerpoint to teach.
I liked the game that we used, and I think that it was really good for getting the attention of our class. I also thought that it was helpful in getting people to experience what it is like to have these types of disorders, especially OCD and anxiety.
If I were to teach this lesson by myself, I would have probably adjusted the pace of the lesson a little bit more. This is harder to do in a group because you want to make sure that everyone gets to say the part that they prepared and that everyone gets equal talk time. There were different parts of our lesson that probably could have been more emphasized, but I am glad that everyone got to talk and share experiences.
The pace of our lesson could have been an area for improvement. I also think that it might have been good to focus in a little bit more detail on less, than just covering the surface on a lot. For example, I think that we could have talked more about ways to help our students who suffer from these kinds of issues.
I couldn't find the criteria on the syllabus, and I will keep looking, but I think that we did well on our lesson. We did all that was asked of us on the actual assignment on I-learn. We could have done better at explaining different vocabulary terms, but I think that we did have vocabulary that the class learned.
