Today's session was quite different from our usual tutoring routine. It was instead a time to share with the group our lesson plans and reflection. I enjoyed hearing all your ideas from your lesson. With Mar's lesson, I liked how she incorporated a lesson to introduce diversity and the new incoming students. Geri's lesson had different strategies that we have learned from our previous courses. Having a variety of methods can make learning more productive. It was interesting how Christine was able to work with a teacher who teaches the hearing impaired. I learned something new from her observation of the teacher in regards to the way the students write. Erik had humored us with his experience of being in the "laid back" teacher's classroom. Reminds me of the southern roots. After all, I did attend a high school in the southern area. Plus I have many relatives from the south. There are so many ways to incorporate literacy into our planning. As teachers, we understand the importance of modification to meet the needs of every student including our ESL and students with learning disabilities. Now we have one final task to complete. The only thing I need to do after this blog is sleep and recharge for a full day ahead tomorrow.

That's right, Annette! There's nothing better than to get a good night's rest after a long day at work and school. Everyone's presentations were really interesting and informative. That's MAGEC for you.
ReplyDeleteGreat reflection! A multitude of methods is always a great idea! That way you hit a multitude of learning styles as well.
