Introduction to the Artifact: In my EDU224 class I wrote weekly reflections during my time in the field. Rationale: While being in the field I wrote six different reflections at the end of each week talking about what went on in the classroom. While writing these reflections I would discuss what I enjoyed each week and what I thought that I could improve on. I would talk about different events that happened in the classroom. If there was anything important that happened I would discuss that. After turning in each reflection I would receive comments from my professor. Artifact:
