I mean, I knew it would take planning, but we had to be very detail-orientated, and that is something I wasn’t quite expecting. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> My initial thought about our lesson was that it went well. It felt like we had a lot of topics and activities to do, so we crunched them all together to fit into the 50-minute time period. I feel like we needed to be more flexible to modify and adjust. For instance, if a discussion was really sparking and about to take off, we should have scratched our last lesson and ran with the discussion. Student involvement is clutch, and that could have been a good alleyway to take it discuss some things. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> I really enjoyed my part of the visualization in the beginning, and from the feedback from the class, they did too. I thought that was a good way to bridge the gap from reading for homework and beginning the lesson of the day, so I enjoyed that very much. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> There were a LOT of comments on the viddler video which I appreciated very much. I never really realized how much focus was put on the teacher when a student challenges a comment or a remark. For instance, Bob Smith called out Nick in a quote he mentioned. It was easy on my part to ask questions to really draw out what the student was thinking, but when it came to having the right answer at the end of it all, it made me realize how knowledgeable the teacher really has to be. Knowing the material and information is clutch in a good lesson, and I learned that on Tuesday.
