Number 7

Just about done with all of this. I really enjoyed my placement at Baldwin and enjoyed the students I had. My last two engagements used materials from Janet Allen's More Tools for Teaching Content Literacy. I did one enagagement over using plants for medicine and the other was over the recent oil spill in the Barrier Reef. I wanted to use strategies that would allow students to show what they knew prior to the article and then find out what they learned from the articles. The students really took to the activities and they went well. I'm not going to go into detail about these, I can do that in class if I need to.
Still working on TWS, GSTEP, AR, and Reading. Some of the things in TWS have really helped me in teaching while some of the other stuff......This has been a great experience and I feel much more prepared for teaching now.
