Lesson 2 Reflection

1. What are you most proud of in you Lesson 2 Presentation and why?
I'm proud of my lesson because, besides talking really fast, I hit all the points I wanted to make.

2. a. What assessment would you give yourself on your Lesson 2 Presentation?
         AP
    b. Explain why you deserve that grade using evidence from Lesson 2 component contract.
        I feel like I should get an AP because I turned in my rough draft lesson plan late. I think that alone knocks me down to an AP.

3. What worked for you in your Lesson 2?
I think my activity worked really well. Everyone seemed to like it.

4. What didn't work? If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your Lesson 2?
I talked really fast. I wish I had more water in my water cup so I can relax myself.

5. What do you think your answer #2 is going to be?
I think something about drug safety.

I am doing my mentorship at Phillips Ranch Pharmacy.
2.   Who is your contact?
My contact is Joanne Evans, the owner.

I help out in the sending out process of our retirement homes. I tend to do a lot of separating, organizing, and checking if all medication is there. I also help out with the filing documents saying what we sent out and where it went.

Blog 11: Holiday Project Update

1.  It is important to consistently work on your senior project, whether it is break or we are in school. What did you do love the break with your senior project?
I did extra research and caught up on my research checks. 

2.  What was the most important thing you learned from what you did, and why? What was the source of what you learned?
I leaned how important counseling a patient actually is. Sometimes patient will think they know everything but you have to be there to make sure they fulling understand it.  

3.  If you were going to do a 10 question interview on questions related to answers for your EQ, who would you talk to and why?
I would talk to Veronica, a pharmacy technician, because she deal a lot with patients.

EQ

1.   I reviewed the rule of three for writing an EQ.

Essential Question 
Once a topic is chosen, the student will develop a working essential question.  The purpose of the working essential question is to help the student build a strong foundation of research which will allow him or her to create an essential question that encourages depth and rigor in the chosen topic.  An essential question must:

  • Provide a framework for studies (It calls for breadth and depth of research, Is not a yes/no question)
  • Take a stance (It allows you to argue some point, Cannot be a recitation of facts or a list)
  •  Format (It is specific, The wording makes sense)
2.  Review the following EQs and
  • Tell us if each meets the rule of three.
  • Tell why they do or don't.
 a.  What is the most important factor in healthy weight loss?
      Yes because it's more of an opinion kind of question.
 b.  What is most important to securing a conviction in a criminal investigation?

      No because it's worded weird.
 c.  What is most important in creating a hairstyle that best satisfies a customer?

      No because you can't really research this.
 d.  How can an anesthesiologist best treat chronic pain?
      Yes because you can take a stance on this.

3.  Based on your review of the rule of 3 and your experience with assessing four EQs, please write another draft EQ for your senior project.  The senior team will be meeting with students shortly for EQ revision and approval; you are expected to bring your research notebook to that meeting with your EQ draft written inside in pencil.

Lesson 1 Reflection

1. Positive Statement
What are you most proud of in your Lesson 1 Presentation and why?

I was most proud of my lesson plan. It was nicely organized. I had even added notes on what I wanted to talk about under the topic. 

2. Questions to Consider

a.     What assessment would you give yourself on your Lesson 1 Presentation (self-assessment)?
AE       P          AP       CR       NC

b.     Explain why you deserve that grade using evidence from the Lesson 1 component contract.
I think I deserve a P because even though I got frazzled during the presentation I feel like I hit all the points I wanted to talk about, had my prop, referenced all my sources, made time, and turned both the rough draft and final lesson plan on time.

3. What worked for you in your Lesson 1?
I feel like my hook really worked for me. It was a good transition to what I was going to talk about.

4.  (What didn't work) If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your Lesson 1?

I wish I would have put down key words along with my key points because when I got frazzled I couldn't think of the proper words.

Extra Blog Post: October

This month at the pharmacy wasn't very exciting. I did get to do two new things. The first new thing I did was write down all the orders we were sending out to the retirement home. What I had to do was write down all the prescription number that were leaving the store. The second new thing I was able to do was call our patients. I had three different patients to call to ask them when they would be home because we were delivering their medication and we needed to make sure that they were going to be home to sign it off. I also interviewed my mentor this month. I got to learn more about her journey becoming a pharmacist.
