I love being at Awesome High School. The field experience is invaluable. The thing that I have enjoyed the most has been the classroom observations. I observed a class called World Beliefs being taught by an amazing and very inspiring teacher (Ms. Runberg). The students’ were discussing the movie The Matrix and comparing what they watched to Plato’s The Cave Analogy. The teacher was well prepared and she gave the student’s a pre-reading task, a during reading task, and then had questions they were suppossed to complete after their reading. They were suppossed to write the answers to their questions in their “philosophers journal”. The class was well behaved and appeared very interested in the lecture. I later learned that this class was an elective that the students try very hard to get into.
I really enjoy adding everything to my portfolio. The thought that I can go back and use all these wonderful ideas later in my own classroom is very exciting!
