This week, we were tasked with making a "substitute worthy" lesson plan on a standard that we randomly selected. After we created our plans, we were met with a surprise when we entered our lab. Instead of teaching our own lesson, we had to swap with one of our classmates and teach their lesson instead!
Excitement
I had a lot of participating in this lab. It was fun to see the differences and similarities in the lesson plans that were written. It was also fun to see if you could think on your feet and really bring the content to life even though we didn't write the lesson plan we were teaching from.
Gems & Opps
For my gems, I think I did a good job with maintaining enthusiasm during the lesson. I also think I did a good job of reprimanding students that got out of hand during the lesson. For my opps, I think if I had had more time to review the lesson before I taught it, I wouldn't have needed to rely so heavily on reading the lesson plan I was given.
Final Thoughts
Over-all I think this lab was very successful and very fun! Stay tuned for my next teaching lab reflection!
Olivia,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, I would encourage you to dig deeper on reflection. Specifically, "I did a good job reprimanding students"
What did they do?

How would your replicate the skill/reaction in the future? What do you want to remember.
For Enthusiasm. How did you convey it? What did you do that you want to remember to repeat?
