Going into Lab A I wasn't very nervous because I feel like I prepared myself well and knew how I was going to present myself to everyone. When I began my introduction I talked way to fast and didn’t do my best to tell my audience what I was explaining to do. What I should of done and chapter 4 always tell me this was that I should check for understand with my students. I should of asked questions and got feedback from my students to make sure they understood what I told them. Also what I did wrong was that my introduction was shorter than everyone else which means I was inefficient with my time which is told in chapter 4. I need to use the time I have and explain myself the best way possible because I want everyone around me to know what were doing and not miss out on any important information. After this first lab I realize that I have a lot to work on but I’m not worried because I can only get better from where I started. This is the first step in teaching and I cant wait to keep it going and learn more and more.
Paul, i really liked your presentation especially because of your prop. You could have easily used a regular catchers mitt but you decided to tweak which really got my attention and I'm sure if you were in front of children you would have gotten thier attention as well. Great job!
ReplyDeletePaul,
ReplyDeleteYour lab A was really good! I think you're being a little hard on yourself, but as teachers we are always critical of ourselves. I personally don't believe you were rushing, you were just speaking a little fast which in time you will get less nervous and learn to slow down. Check for understanding is what you will see more in Lab B, it is not really a part of Lab A but that's good that realize that you can put that in an introduction! Great start for the year, keep it up!
