I still have a long way to go, but today was probably better than yesterday. Finding the right amount of material to go over is tricky, tricky, tricky. 1st period ended right on time, but 2nd got done way early–the opposite of yesterday. I just can’t understand it. I gave them the facebook assignment that I’d given 4th a few days back. Having it on the agenda immediately peaked their interest. Many didn’t really give me much, though. I’m a little disappointed. I got a ton of feedback from 4th. Maybe it was just a different day or they were more excited about me (not that it’s all about me). Maybe I need a more official Facebook example.
I did the reading today, and I think that made a difference, that and it was a really good chapter. I think some of the students are coming around to the idea that this might actually be a good book. Better than they're used to anyway.
When you look at the class- scan. You're looking at no-one yet you're looking at ALL of them. They recognize this. Talk loudly when you face the board to write while speaking.
ReplyDeleteI'm curious about the Facebook assignment, what did you do? Was that a link or just underlined words? I'll tell you: it was underlined words.
Work ahs been crazy this week sorry I'm behind. Thanks for having updates for me too look at when I got a moment!
