, Abstract
This Capstone projects features a portfolio of lesson plans along with assessments of
these lesson plans, written by a site supervisor, and journal entries, written personally
after teaching the lesson in the classroom. After reviewing and analyzing all of these
documents, general reflections were written to show the changes I made over time and to
consider what future improvements I commit to make. These general reflections will be
supplemented with current research in the field of second language pedagogy and the
critique written by my site supervisor. Overall, the goal of this Capstone project is to
produce useful materials in my profession and evaluate myself as a future teacher.

, Executive Summary
This Capstone project aims to show my growth over the course of the Spring
2017 semester during which I was a student teacher at a local, urban high school. The
project also evaluates my strengths and weaknesses as a future teacher with the belief
that extensive self-reflection will lead to concrete improvements in my future teaching
positions. The process of creating this project and dedicating time to reflecting on my
abilities already sparked changes in my instructional choices during my field placement
as a student teacher.
This project begins by providing the audience with the necessary background
knowledge to understand the following two chapters in the context of the classroom in
which I worked. While maintaining anonymity of the students and staff, the introduction
provides information about the school, the student body, and my role in the classroom
that influenced my decisions in the classroom and the creation of this project.
With this foundation laid, the second chapter features a portfolio of lesson plans,
accompanied by observation reports from my site supervisor and my own self-reflections.
The site supervisor is a Syracuse University staff member in the School of Education who
visited my field placement to observe my lessons and communicate with my host teacher.
She wrote a report after each observation as well a Mid-Placement and End-of-
Placement report. These documents, along with my journal entries, serve two main
purposes; firstly, they provide a broad range of insights to illustrate how each lesson was
implemented and with what success. Secondly, these documents are the evidence
referenced for general reflections in the third chapter. The reports from my site
supervisor are especially
valuable sources that detail my weaknesses, strengths, and improvements. I use quotes
