I went over some of the difficult parts of the math test
with our push-in class. The students had a hard time making statements of
comparisons from a bar graph because we had practiced asking the questions so
much. I asked them some of the same questions and taught them how to answer
them with a statement. Then we went over Venn diagrams and the key words that
gave clues as to which parts were being compared. Some key words are inclusive
and require information from more than one part of the diagram. Other key words
indicate only one part is to be considered. The teacher said I did a great job
with speaking up and asking good questions. It was a good impromptu lesson. The
students gave good answers and seemed to understand it better.
In Language Arts, I was teaching
again. I was pretty excited about this lesson. This was another pronouns lesson
introducing the possessive. We reviewed subject and object pronouns first (although
I could have skipped a bit of those slides because they got those concepts).
They really caught on to most of the possessives after a few examples of
sentences with subject or object pronouns in those places. I made a special
example of “ours” and “theirs” and explained it after one question confused a
couple students on the worksheet. My professor liked several of the things I
did with the lesson, especially pointing out the two they had trouble with and
identifying the difference. Lastly, I had written a first person account of the
First Thanksgiving. At set points in the story, there were two options for the
pronoun that would fit in the sentence and they were to circle the correct one.
They did so well!
