Lesson

This week please comment about a lesson that you taught that went well. What was the topic? How did you choose to teach it? How did your students react?

The past week, I have only been in the classroom one day. I attended a workshop on Monday and Tuesday, and Thursday and Friday I attended the Skills USA conference.

I guess the only assignment I can truly speak about is the teaching assignment I gave to my 2ND level students. They had to outline Chapter 1 on the textbook, and create a lesson from the chapter. They were instructed to create a PowerPoint presentation and a test.

A little background on this class, it's only 7 students, the class was changed after the third week of school. This particular class was third level class(Forensics) with students whom never taken the other perquisite classes. So, once the class was changed to the correct level, 2ND year(LCRP), I lost about 5 students.

The students are excited because I advised that not only will they be teaching me, but also the other Law and Justice teacher's intro class. This appeared to make them excited. It gives the student the opportunity to not only read the textbook, but act as the teacher.

They present either today or tomorrow.

Hey Sabrina! That sounds fun... I tried that once before but I need to refine the rubric that I used. The only problem I had was the students were not quite covering all of the important material needed. They did make a test for the others to take as well. The kids love to teach and they love creating on the computer so this sounds like a great idea to get them to read and present material. I might have to try it in smaller groups or review the more important points after a group presents. My only problem with the power point is that I do not have enough computers and It is hard to book a lab. I have five computers so I guess they would just have to rotate on and off of them. Let me know how it goes and if you have any other methods to doing this :)
