Week September 22

My moment happened after my Unit on the court systems and court room demeanor. Last year I had tried the same unit and the output was a little rocky. This year I made sure that I discussed the breakdown of the court system, gave out a few handouts and made sure that I walked everyone through the whole process. When I came time for the court day the subpoenas had been served, the evidence was collected, the jury was selected and everything was in place to start. I was pleasantly surprised how smoothly everything went and it actually felt like a courtroom. The kids interaction was the most focused I have seen. Even the kids that were in the gallery were invested for the two days. This is one of the moments that everything seemed to come together and I knew that this is why I wanted to be a teacher.
