Discretion with Activity Selection

I used the Illuminations website as a source for both of the activities which I wrote a rubric over. In trying to find the correct activity, I came to see that there were a number of activities which I didn't view as "quality" activities. There were a large number of lessons which had only questions to be done by students. I could hardly call these lessons, as there was no real instruction from the teacher except for the guidance involved with general problem solving.
I didn't choose some of the other lessons because they were too broad. I was looking for something specific which I could judge as a single lesson, and there were far too many categories I could have based my rubric around for these lessons.
In the end, I chose two lessons which were obviously meant to be done in a single class period. I felt that they were adequate examples of math lessons and I tried to judge them as a future educator. While both had their flaws, I feel that they could easily be modified to make up for any failures on their part.
