THE ATMOSPHERE.
Reflection:
Today's class was a well structured and
pack with actives, this I found to be quite enthusiastic yet
simulating for me. Honestly I enjoyed the group actives, however at
one point I began to get a little exhausted, something I'm not so much accustom
too. I've come to realize, while in my last year at this institution, yet
I am not fully capable of carrying out a variety of actives/ group
work within the classroom,. This has help to to reflect on my weak area that
definitely needs to be check and improved on. Note to self, at the
end of this course, I would like to portray and deliver some of the
creative teaching strategies and techniques that I was expose to and had
experienced. I found It very stimulation for students, also I would
apply it to the various types of learners within my classroom.
Thus far, I must admit I am a
bit overwhelm at time in this course, however I understand that there is must
to be cover/ done for us the Perspective teacher to become that skilled
practitioner. I have mentally condition myself to strive for
excellence and great success within this course and my final year.
One strategy I admire, was that as
Perspective Geography teachers, we must adapt and master the skills
of sketching to explain diagrams and its processes, this was
definitely reinforces in today's class. This I also will endorse within my
classroom, so to I believe this skill is a key principle of
Geography. However I was challenge just a little, in the explaintion of
the diagrams while presenting diagram, so therefore some work need
to be addressed in this area.
Even thought today was my second class,
I saw the importance of the continuous group work and was great
appreciates of it. We can learn so much from our peers.
Generally, today's class was yet another
"aha"for me!
What About Today's Class? 💭
In regards
to the content of today's lesson, It was mostly of a revision/ recapping
lesson, that of the Atmospheric Energy and the percentages of absorption but
the earth and atmosphere after the reflect of radiation/ heat
from the sun, this was new knowledge to me. Also my peer and I had
concerning questions on this topic, however we all brainstorm an came up with
our little conclusion and presented it to the class. Furthermore the
study of the Greenhouse effects along with heat transferring were really a
"aha" moment for me, because there were much interesting information
that was gain. This has made me more conscious about atmosphere and its
processes.
Here are some diagrams I found
Interesting.

This post is a significant improvement over the last, Merissa!! Remember, it is not about the content. Rather, it is about your thinking. Should I count this as your first marked post, or your second? Please let me know.
ReplyDeleteIt was interesting that this content was new to you. It made me wonder whether or not you are doing the reading for this course before the class as expected. If not, what has been the consequence for you of not being prepared? What will be the consequence for your students?
In terms of spelling, the word describing the kind of teacher you are is "Prospective" (expected or expecting to be the specified thing in the future).
Looking forward to your replies and this level of quality posting in the future.
Thank you for the correction and comments
DeleteHonestly i did not read for today's class, which I found most of the content new and fascinating. However for future classes i will ensure this will not happen again; because it will give my students the perception that I am not prepare to Teach.
I will definitely, try my best to be on schedule, with this course, honestly at times i feel a bit overwhelm.
This blog could be marked at my second
