Lesson Critique. To be completed following the lesson. Did your students meet the objective(s)? What part
of the lesson would you change? Why?
Gifted cluster students met the objectives far faster than switch group students. Need to come up with more
enrichment activities for students who pick up on the concepts more quickly than others.
