curricular response
-For my show and tell I decided to look at the origin of witches and teach the class what these stereotypical ‘creatures’ are. One of my strengths in my presentation were being able to communicate with the class, sharing my ideas as well answering to Mrs. Willet’s questions. Something I would do differently if I had another show and tell would be to change my class activity, I would like to have a mini quiz at the end of the presentation to make it fun and engaging.

I chose to do this topic because I thought it was interesting, we all have a certain stereotype of witches but researching and learning about this topic shows you that pop culture has set up a stereotype and that witches are not regular green women with hats, flying on a broom. Some of the strategies I used to complete the research for this assignment were Critical and reflective thinking, every time I looked up the information I made sure to read more articles, videos etc to make sure I could gain enough knowledge to teach the class, as well as reflecting on this information.
