Okay okay so I didn't blog last week for Educ 107, and just doing this weeks blog now. Last weeks class was interesting to say the least and seeing the different types of lesson plans classmates came up with was quite interesting.
Last week group one (Spelling) I felt was not a very engaging activity and felt that people were put on the spot, not sure if this would work well in a classroom setting as there are a variety of levels in the typical classroom. I felt that the instructors were not very well prepared as many words were put out and they did not have the correct spelling. Although a good point was made out of this lesson.
Group #2 Social Norms - Loved the videos and great classroom discussion.
Group #3 Speeches- Not very well organized and at times looking for volunteers for the activities, ran out of time.
Group#4 Verb conjunction in Spanish- Lesson was overall okay but unaware of what grade level this was gearing towards. I did feel that the lesson needed to be more engaging as it seemed as it was more lecture than a lesson, in addition many words that were taught, I as a native speaker don't use as that is formal Spanish and not what is spoken outside of schools.
This last Thursday my group presented on the topic of Healthy Eating Habits, I felt we did a good job, but that we over-planned. I felt that we had an interesting topic that we covered and used a variety of technology to help engage our fellow classmates mentally. The poll went very well as did the bags of lard on the table. if this were a real classroom setting I feel that there could be much more done with this topic and it would be able to be expanded into all areas of the curriculum.
