5th Period

Please answer the following question after careful reflection: Of everything I did this week in my teaching, what would I do differently if I had the chance to do it again? And, why? Of everything I did this week in teaching I would definitely make sure I am completely prepared for my 5th period class. I was given this class the day before the students came back to school. There was no pre-planning for the course on my part so I felt like I was chasing myself to catch up. There have been times when I was thinking of activities right on spot for that particular class. Towards the end of this past week I finally caught up with myself so-to-speak, with preparation and planning. I don't operate well when presenting information when I'm not prepared. I want to make it my number one goal this school year to be as prepared as I can be within my control for every class. I know there are things I won't be able to control and I'm not concerned about those. I want to make sure my "i's" are dotted and my "t's" are crossed for myself.

  1. I agree. There's nothing worse than just swinging by a lesson in hopes the students will get engage, follow through and not realize you're not prepared. Been there and that too is my ultimate goal to always be prepared and be ahead.

  2. Must be the curse of 5th period. That is my most rowdy bunch of students. Maybe it is because they are hungry and haven't had lunch yet!
