DM1- Diversity
In each of my lessons I presented from the Power Point program which allowed
me to share information in an organized and creative manner. I was also able to use
my mentor teachers class microphone and projector to teach all of my lessons. I tried
to incorporate YouTube videos to try to grasp students attention to relate prior
knowledge with the specific material for that lesson. As an English teacher I expect
each class to take a different course in the discussions all the while covering the same
essential questions and enduring ideas.
DM3-Subject Matter
The first lesson I taught about sentence diagramming. I was familiar with the
concept but had to do some research about the basic rules and principles so that I
could teach them to the students. After a couple hours I felt prepared to teach and
answer questions about sentence diagramming. For my second lesson I taught about
creative writing and Drama. I had much more previous experience and although I
learned many things while putting together a Power Point presentation I felt confident
I teaching and discussing the lesson I had prepared.
DM4- Environment
I believe that by eliminating backpacks and binders from being on the top of desks
I also eliminated cell phone shields and other type of distractions. At times I allow for
multiple students to speak within small group discussions which can get fairly loud so
by having a means to have them quiet and listening was very crucial in carrying order
through the lessons.
DM5-Reflection
I think that the assessments that were given to the students is not a fair means to
evaluate the students because I taught specifically about what would be on the
assessments themselves within the 30 minute lessons that I prepared. If the lessons
were taught under a different setting over a two week period I think it would be more
accurate. I do believe that the students learned multiple meanings and strategies
within the lessons that I taught which is very reassuring to me as a teacher. The
students were very creative and assertive during the class activities which made for a
fun leaning environment.
