4.3-Mini-Teach 1

     What's The Theme?

    I can identify a theme in a literary text and cite specific textual evidence that supports the theme. I can identify a theme in a literary text and cite specific textual evidence that supports that theme. Write about a time someone helped you when they didn’t want to. What did they learn from that experience? What did you learn from that experience?

     Theme is the message learned or the lesson the author wants you to learn. Examples:Kindness, honesty, perseverance. Text evidence in a quote, detail, or event from a story that supports an idea or interpretation. (Matching) The students had a worksheet where the pieces were cut out, some of them were bolded and they had to find the correct matching theme that went along with the bolded words. Before the kids came in me and Mrs. Baxter cut out the cards and placed them on the students desk, then as the kids came in and got settled I explain to them what we were going to be doing with the activity. After all that, Mrs. Baxter put the students into groups. Then from there it was on the students to work together and match everything correctly. I walked around helping the students as needed and answering questions as needed as well. As they were finishing up, I helped Mrs. Baxter go around and check their papers. When everyone was finished the students turned them into the tray.

     Everything went right just like the way it was supposed to the kids all got into groups of anywhere from 2-4 and they began to match their cards.

    There were no needed changes during this lesson plan.

    To conclude, everything went according to plan during the first mini-teach. I really enjoyed helping the kids with the questions that they had and walking around to help them.

3.2 Middle school observation

In my second period class "Intro to Education" we got to observe classes from the middle school two different times with two different teachers similar to observing Elementary. My two teachers that I got the opportunity to go watch were Mrs.Young's fifth grade science class and Mrs. Baxter's fifth grade literacy class. It's interesting seeing all the different techniques that the middle school teachers use to teach these young students to help them get ready for upcoming grades. Middle school one: Mrs. Young fifth grade Science     When I arrived at the middle school there was some time before her students got back to her classroom from their enrichment, so I just sat with Mrs. Young and some other teachers talking to them during their prep time. The kids arrived back to her classroom and they were all doing biom presentations that caught my eye because of all the facts about each groups biome presentation, some stings I didn't even know myself.   Middle schoo...

3.1 Elementary Observation

    In my second period class "Intro to Education" we had a wonderful opportunity to go observe classes from the Elementary two different times with two different teachers. My two teachers that I got the opportunity to go watch were Mrs. Dale's Kindergarten class and Mrs. Young's third grade class. My perspective as a Junior in High School I was excited to see how teachers taught younger students and what all there was still to learn! Elementary school one: Mrs. Dale-Kindergarten       As I walked into her classroom Mrs. Dale had a visitor there with her kids doing a small shape coloring activity with Mrs. Henley. What caught my attention was how all the kids were well behaved for how young they are while respectfully following the directions given by Mrs. Henley and how nice all the kids were to others around them including myself.  Elementary school two: Mrs. Owens-first grade     Mrs. Owne's students were in enrichment (Art class) when I f...
