Education Oberservation Class

I am an education major and for one of the classes I am taking we go to other schools and get to observe a teacher there. So far I have observed a 6th grade math teacher, a high school medical procedures teacherm, and a 5th grade english teacher. I really like observing the teacher an with have such a wide variety of subjects and grades it helps me decide more of what I am wanting to teach. I think I would like to teach a 7th grade math or history class. I would prefer teaching math over anything else. With observing these classes I have also realized that I would like to teach upper lever elementary and into the middle school level grades.

Quick Write

 Everyday when we walk into class the frist thing we do is a quick write. The quick write can be anything from questions about the reading assignement, projects we are doing, or even questions asking our opinion on issues. I really like writing the quick write especially when it is over a reading assignment because the question will help me remember what I read and what I thought about that piece of reading.

Bad Test Taker

When it comes to taking tests I am horrible. I can study for hours and hours but when it comes to the actual time to take the test I forget everything that I spent time studying. That is one of the problems I am having with one of my classes in college. I am scared that I am going to fail the class, because are overall grade is made up of the 4 tests that we take in the class. We don't get any other grades but those 4 test scores. As I mentioned before I am a horrible test taker. I hope that I can continue to study hard and make better scores on my test, and hopefully get a decent grade in the class.

Reading The Giaour

Last week in my Comp II class we went over The Giaour, which is a super long poem. The poem was hard to understand. I would have to read a couple of lines over and over before I would be able to get a since of understanding for what is trying to be said. I am glad that we went over The Giaour in class, because without the help of our teacher, Ms. Hodges, I am sure I wouldn't have understood the meaning of the poem at all.
