Reflection For 5/09/2017
First Session!
For the Love of Geography!
Even though I was extremely excited, yet a bit nervous knowing that I would be taught by another Skilled instructor, it was definitely a fascinating and honorable privilege to be working with Dr. Babb for the completion of this program. Firstly, from the beginning, my expectations from both my instructor and this course were driven towards adventure and adapting new skilled, indeed it was for my first session with her. I truly appreciated all her classroom interactions, activities and her expectation for us; For a three hour session it was well spent! This session focus on a recapping of our previous knowledge, which was somewhat interesting as to, Wow I really do needed this refreshing. Nevertheless, it was an excellent strategy to begin the class with, apart from the earlier ice breakers, which I found quite interesting.
Generally the session was stimulating, in that it drove us (students) to critically think and recall.
Also I learned a few new method of strategies and applicable resources that would contributed significantly towards future lessons, that I believe my students would also appreciate. This session was really an enthusiastic one, and is looking forwards towards the rest of the year!
Thanks for your post Merissa. I can tell that the class really captured your attention and interest. I am happy to know that you will use some of the strategies with your students. What I wondered was how you felt in this class? How will those feelings influence what you do as a student and a prospective reacher?
ReplyDeleteI Felt motivated and excited, because there was always one active after the other, something I found very simulating for students. This however would be incorporated within my classroom, (very Student centered). This session has driven me as a perspective teacher, to get know my students and how I can maneuver within the classroom, as to pursuing their multi intelligence/ competencies. As a students, these feeling has been preparing me for such tasks, aspiring to become that Competence Social Studies/ Geography Teacher.
