The Reflective Cycle Analysis

Throughout this paper, I am going to discuss the three stages of "The Reflection Cycle". These three stages include: describe, analyze, and plan. Under the describe stage I will be summarizing my learning experience throughout this course and emphasize who, what, when, where, and how this course helped me. Analyzing stage will discuss a breakdown of all of the assignments and how the benefited me and what areas need to be improved. It will also show how it worked for me and how it didn 't and finally it will end with me saying what I learned throughout the semester and how I learned it. Finally the planning stage will discuss how I will handle this information in the future and how it will benefit me when I become a teacher. It will talk about

Final Self-Reflection

My learning experience throughout this course was great. I learned a lot of ways to bring books into the classroom and make an activity out of it so it benefits in two ways. I feel like I learned a lot throughout this course regarding to how to teach and activities but also helpful information to me.

The reading logs were very fun and educating to do. It was an assignment I liked to do, therefore, my grades on these assignments were better. It had 16 different books we had to read and review about and those books are all great lesson learning books to share later on my time as a teacher. The poetry entries were fun to do because we got the chance to find and read multiple different poems about everyday life and about holidays. With their being so many holidays while in school, this file will help bring up discussion about a certain holiday while in school. Textbook readings and blogs were educational and helped us learn different teaching ways and taught us how to look deeper in readings. The read aloud logs were a fun assignment to do because we got to listen to the story instead of having to read it yourself. These assignments showed me how it is easier to

It has influenced me to use some of the activities, stories, and projects that we did during this course. This course taught us a lot of helpful classroom projects that will have the students reading but also learning a lesson with most of the stories. This has influenced me to be on top of my grading, to manage my time when in the classroom, and to involve the students as much as I can. I plan on implementing all of the books that we did a log over because they are all fun and of the age of students I want to teach. I enjoyed the books that we read now and when I was younger so I feel they will be great to share with my students some day. To extend my learning, I plan on broadening my sources and my mind to new things. I have the book websites that we were given for this course saved on my computer for use later on in classes and when I become a teacher. To refine my learning, I plan to focus on the information that will better my knowledge rather than the unimportant information. I will narrow it down to the information from my teachers now rather than looking for it on the internet. As a learner, I like to do hands on activities and projects and out loud assignments rather than essay 's or self-work projects. For me to learn effectively, I need to have hands on work. I am the type of student that won 't learn by just taking notes every day then a test every once in awhile. I have to have projects, out loud discussions, group work, and hands on activities for me to really
