Week 3

Week 3 was great.  After a restful March Break I had a lot of energy to put towards my class.  I ended up coming up with a really interactive and exciting lesson that linked directly to the culminating task.  The kids enjoyed it so much that they asked for an extra period to work on it.  We saw how much learning was going on, so we allowed them extra time to complete it.  They handed in what they had which was very beneficial, as I was then able to provide them with extensive descriptive feedback and tips for when they were doing their final project.  The amount of time it took to write up the descriptive feedback for each group didn't surprise me, but it was time consuming nonetheless.  It made me realize the benefits of group activities not only for the students, but for the teachers as well.

Looking forward to my last week of practicum and seeing if they put my suggestions to use for their culminating task.
