REED 502 weekly progress
This week was a better week than last week. I am fully recovered and had a great time doing my assignment of observing a fellow new teacher Earth Science class. I learned many different techniques on how to engage students by personal experiences to help reinforce the lesson. I was impressed on how observing a class helps me think of important skills to incorporate in my daily lesson plans. It also was a great way to talk to a co-worker about education other than normal conversation which actually support one another's progress. I am looking forward to the end of the semester so i can have a break form excessive work. Overall I am pleased with the valuable knowledge I have obtained while enrolled in REED 502.

I really liked how you able to "marry" different subject areas in your unit plans. The one that stuck out to me was your music and Harlem Renaissance social studies connection. I also liked how you were able to incorporate so many 21st century literacies in each unit.

ReplyDeleteI think that your approach to a lot of your lessons is exactly what this class was all about. I think that the two strategies I saw from your text were the use of multimedia and texts and using lessons and tools across subject matter.
ReplyDeleteThis semester in following your post I learned that creative ideas can come from people outside of a given content area. In addition, I enjoyed your thoughts on student engagement.
ReplyDeleteI am in agreement with you,you must find ways to engage the student, and the subject instruction must be relative to the student living enviornment, a very good class.
