Today in class, we broke up into two groups and
shared our mini-lessons. I decided to present my lesson first. I was really
nervous when I was presenting my lesson, but I managed to get through the whole
thing smoothly. I enjoyed doing this, regardless of how nervous I was because
it was my first time actually teaching a lesson to students. It gave me an idea
of how to present a lesson and to see what areas I need to work on so I can be
prepared for my next lesson.
After I was done doing my mini-lesson, Kelsey went up
next. With Kelsey’s lesson, she provided us with a story called Lilly’s Purple
Plastic Purse. Kelsey started off by reading the story, and then she had us
take turns reading different parts. After we were done reading the story,
Kelsey asked if we were unfamiliar with some words in the story. She then took
those words and wrote it on the board and gave us our special dictionaries to
define those words. After we looked up the words, it gave us an understanding
of what those words mean. Kelsey then gave us a worksheet and had us write the
word, its definition, something that relates to the word, and had us draw a picture
relating to the word. I thought it was a great way for students to get familiar
with vocabulary words and it could also help them understand it more by drawing
it out. Kelsey did a great job and I can’t wait to see what Amanda and Rhea
have planned for their lesson!
Evin, this is the first time I actually got to teach a lesson as well and was really nervous too. Although I was not a part of your group I could tell your lesson was engaging! I really wish we could all be one group so that we could experience each other's lessons.
ReplyDeleteEvin you did a great job especially since it was your first time. I still get nervous doing lessons and I do it everyday. I really like how you used the beach. It was something we as your "students" can relate to.
