identify from the data? (Just the facts!!! Be specific, include numbers when possible.)
Hypotheses: What hypotheses can you
make about each fact? (Answer the question, what did you do that contributed to these results?) (Past Tense) I did not spend enough time teaching the graphing portion. I did not offer enough practice after modeling in order to ensure student understanding. I misinterpreted the data from the interim assessment.

Action Plan: What will you do
based on the facts and hypotheses you concluded? (Future Tense) In order to teach this subject fully, I will add a day at the end of teaching both supply and demand and discuss demand curves. I will use compare and contrast charts, as well as model the information in order to help the students develop their learning. I will also give more practice to the students in the form of group work and worksheets that they can use as references. The most important point is taking an extra day to teach this lesson because I feel like it could be taught completely separate along with demand and supply schedules. For those students who are still struggling, I will sit at the back of the classroom and bring small groups back to discuss the concepts with me. On the next test, I would continue to have individual meetings with the students in order to help them to become more proficient in what they are about to cover for the summative assessment.
I will have the students create
their own notes sheet like I did for the supply lesson next year. They learned it in their own way which helped them to understand the supply concepts much more
