In this blog post you will find links that will take you to my Strategy Presentation (PowerPoint) and the Clearing the Pregnancy Myths Lesson Plan with everything needed to teach it.
Below is the link to the video recording of my lesson presentation. It is just over 15 minutes long.
Reflection of Presenting Lesson Plan
Overall, I really enjoyed presenting this lesson plan. It is a topic that I feel comfortable teaching and feels natural discussing with other women. The conversation seemed to flow pretty well and the women participating were open to discussion. I do wish I had tried out the markers prior to presenting to make sure
they were dark enough on the white board (rookie mistake). I also think I could have involved the women who were a bit quieter by asking their opinion more often. But, at the same time, I wanted all the participants to feel comfortable in sharing what they wanted. I think with more practice, this could be a great lesson plan and we may even convert it into a pregnancy nutrition class for our WIC moms and see how it goes! I enjoyed this project. Please leave honest feedback of the lesson so I can make some adjustments before taking it further. Thanks for your time!
Katie,
ReplyDeleteYour presentation looks like it was off to a great start. You looked very comfortable in that type of setting and you seemed very knowledgeable on the topic. Though the audience seemed reserved at first, they starting participating more after you poked fun at yourself- “I apologize if I misspell anything, that’s not my forte.” Also, by first discussing the foods that should not be consumed and then reviewing the menu, the ladies were able to put they learned into practice. I think it also made them more willing to participate. I think you could make this into a successful WIC program.
Good luck,

Hi Katie,
ReplyDeleteYou did such a wonderful job with your presentation! The introduction really seemed to establish rapport with your group and tied back to the overall theme of the lesson. I also really liked how you created a balance between structure and letting the participants guide the lesson as well. The menu activity was a really creative way to integrate an application component and encouraged your participants to think critically. It was neat to see them apply the concepts you taught them as they went through the menu options.
Great job!

Katie,
ReplyDeleteYou started your presentation very well. The introduction got everyone to list the myths they have heard about pregnancy and kind of got each participant to get to know a little bit about each other. This program would be awesome for women who are pregnant or thinking about having children because they can definitely learn several things and put them into practice. A healthy pregnancy is extremely important. I think you did very well with your presentation.
Thanks for sharing,
