Today was the first time I taught in front of my classes. On any normal day in Mrs. Roed's class I would observe and assist where I am needed. Today I got to present a lesson plan I arranged and the kids really seemed to enjoy it. My lesson was about the ABCD's of writing and I presented it using a powerpoint presentation. I borrowed the powerpoint from one of Mrs. Roed's colleagues and it seemed to be very helpful to the students.
I was nervous about teaching in front of the class, but the students have always been respectful and paid attention and asked questions when I looked to them for answers. I presented the powerpoint about effectively reading and understanding a writing prompt. I taught the students how to breakdown a prompt so that they could get past the "fluff" and into the real question. I was very happy with my lesson, and while the students had lots of questions and confusion (this is normal for them) they worked together to make senes of the task in front of them.
I am proud of my first lesson and Mrs. Roed's evaluation expressed that I was successful :-D
