Field teach 3, day 2

today was day 2 of 3....

On friday, I began my lesson, and it went well. I used celebrities to make it easier to talk about people without making things akward, although the students really didnt seem to bite. They did what they needed to, but they werent all that interested. They used my notes, which seemed helpful to them, and then as some students finished before others, they shared with their peers what they wrote. My overall presence was good, I am feeling much more confident in my teacher role.

Today, however did not go so well. The kids got what they needed to with it, but I had to clarify a lot, I was feeling under the weather, and I know I struggled through the explanation of the assignment. However, my interaction with the kids has become a lot better, they know me, and I know almost all their names, (mostly in Spanish, but I know some of their English names too) Because I struggled and didnt do so well with this, i want to revisit it on Wed, before moving on to the "game" portion of comparisons and superlatives. I have papers from the kids, and with my own notes on what questions the kids asked, and what I see from their papers, I will create a breif re-explanation of what is happening.
