Ugh, I forgot to make a post for yesterday. Sorry.
30. May:
Well, I remembered I needed to choose a student that day to interview for our Focus on the Learner assignment (due on Monday for my group members). I selected a student, approached her and we agreed to have the interview on Thursday morning, before the lessons.
I had an overall plan ready for my lesson today, just it was a bit fuzzy, and I needed extra guidance. I got it and felt much better about my lesson. Just that I worked on getting all the handouts and the display for about 5 hours after I returned to my apartment (around 19:30). Good thing I had already started!
31. May (today):
I taught my 3rd observed class. Since it was about theater (and The Phantom of the Opera was mentioned in the reading text), I decided to open the class with a snip-bit of that famous song--myself. I got their attention! The rest of the class went well, except for a few things here and there. Just more things I need to work on. Typical, really. I'm still glad I had that lesson.
Now, what do I have on my plate now?
- my 4th observed lesson that I need to prepare (I've got some questions about that one already)
- my interview with 1 of my students for my assignment that's due on Monday.
- my Skills assignment that's due on Wednesday
- my 5th observed lesson I will give on Tuesday--with the other class.
(After this week, we will switch classes--and levels. My group taught lower intermediate from the beginning until now. Next week, we'll switch to the other class and teach the upper intermediate students for the rest of the course. That's how the course generally goes.)
. . . Ok, so 2 classes and 2 assignments within a week's time (give or take).
No pressure, no pressure at all. . . .
