Week 1 Take aways

I will be honest this first class was very overwhelming going over all of the assignments and content. I felt as though my brain was in over drive by the end of class. 😂 I am excited however to be able to practice more with unit plans. I think that will help me out a lot when I get into my career. When going over the content I found it interesting about the background of Language Arts and what it actually represented. I knew it represented reading and grammar but not really comprehension and phonics. Maybe looking back I could tell a little bit but it never really clicked in my head at the time. Another thing that I never really worried about was multicultural teaching. Seeing how diverse our country is becoming this may be something I want to reflect on more when I make lesson plans and teach my students.

    I think a lot of students were overwhelmed by the first night of class simply because we know we're facing organizing 10 very comprehensive lessons. I'm glad that Professor Steffes gave us some time to narrow down the standards that we want to cover in our unit during class. That is usually one of the hardest parts for me. I'm also glad that we are doing presentations later this session because I always learn a lot from other students when they share their lesson ideas. I think we'll all gain a lot from this class and I'm looking forward to progressing with assignments and getting to know our blog group members with these posts.

    I think that the start of every new class is a little overwhelming because there seems like so much information to take in, and I can't help but wonder how we will do it in a short eight weeks. However, I know that it all comes together in the end and that I will be thankful for the experiences of the different assignments at the end. I am really looking forward to practicing more on lesson plans because I don't think we can get enough practice and I really enjoy hearing feedback from my classmates and instructor.
