I am pretty sure that the only people that read my blog are the people that have to do it for my class, so if you don't understand what I am talking about you have stumbled across my blog by accident and I am sorry.
My lesson went well. I liked the topic and the kids were great, considering that it was in the mid 80's in my room at the time of the lesson. I wonder what everyone did to gather up a group of kids in the middle of the summer? I was lucky enough to just kidnap a section of the summer school kids and get after it.
My only complaint is with the template that we had to use for the lesson plan. I know that each one of the 6 sections are very important, however, it is not a real world template. I mean no disrespect. It is actually a nice template if I only taught one class a week. It is very informative and leaves nothing to the imagination. However, after teaching for 10+ years, it is just too wordy and lengthy. Please give me some feedback on this. I hope that our instructor doesn't put a hit out on me for voicing this:) but some others must have an opinion that could agree or disagree with mine. Again, I do not mean to be disrespectful, it is just that after a few years teaching my lesson plans consist of a couple pages of notes and possibly a few references to a text or website. Speak to me out there folks. What have you got?

Hi Christopher,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you on the lesson plan. It is helpful for people who do not know all the material and need to write down everything. However, I don't think its realistic to complete while you are teaching. If anything, I would think it would be useful for a unit plan or to cover central ideas.

Hi Chris,
ReplyDeleteHow did the use of the model work for your students? Would you change anything with regards to the model or how the lesson was implemented? Amy
