(e.g. level of thinking required, incorporates technology, task is a real problem with a real audience, etc.)**c. What went well when you implemented the lesson?d. What did students enjoy or do well?e. What challenges did you overcome?f. Are there changes you would make for the next time you use this lesson?g.
