Capture 9

So last week I actually taught my lesson. It was my rockin' lesson that I had imagined. I really liked how it went. Geoff's feedback was he wanted the activity to be set up a little more, and go a little slower. I agree. If I could do it over, I might have to change it completely just to fit that criteria simply because 20 minutes might not be enough to have a mock boston massacre trial. I felt that if there had been more time, it would have worked well. Most of Geoff's feedback was directly related to time constraints. I had several people come to me after class and tell me how much they enjoyed class and thought I had done well. Normally "enjoyment" isn't what I'm pursuing, but since everyone in the class is an education major, I'm assuming they thought the teaching was good as well, or else they wouldn't have extended the compliment. Also, Geoff liked the double teaching. I liked it too, in fact I got pretty excited when I thought up the concept.

Tomorrow we are going to start working on the sixth grade curriculum, and I hope it all goes well. I used to be an el ed major but switched because the age group didn't fit me well. I hope I'm able to help my group instead of hinder.
