Immigration Lesson
This week was a very productive week and I had the opportunity to teach next door in the Literacy class. I planned and even is not my CT but has been very helpful when I have needed her help. She provided amazing feedback that I will take into consideration for my next lesson. The two teachers that were present in class to include the students really enjoyed the lesson. The teacher said that several of the students related to this topic and that I had made a good choice in picking that particular topic because several of the students related. The teachers were amazed at how many students that normally never like to share or speak up actually wanted to share and they stayed focus during the lesson. I had no behavior issues during my lesson it was more of students wanting to share every single time. I watched the video of the lesson the next day and noticed several mistakes that were exactly the ones the teacher pointed out. I had missed an important piece of my lesson when I had planned it. I was supposed to have the students talk and share with their groups or the person next to them. I fell into the norm of raise your hand and call on someone. I normally don’t chose that option always but since I’m used to the homeroom students and usually only teach math or science I forgot and it was even written in my plans. Overall I believe I was successful in one way or another but I really wish I could have the option to reteach an hour later and implement the feedback received. I don’t like waiting to then implement my feedback I believe it should be done within the same day if possible. I have seen success when this is done within the same day.
