Last day of class and the students didn't want me to go, I call that a success!
Today was another great day! I did not like my lesson that much so I rewrote it the night before. I ended up making a PowerPoint to do a review for the week of all of the types of figurative language. And this turned out to be a great idea. The teacher loved the PowerPoint and the game tha to made out of it. The students had marker boards and they worked as a team to get the right answer. I gave them 10 seconds and then they held the boards up. It was great! After this the students did the assessment where I had stations set up and they went around to them and then answered reflective questions on the back of the sheet. This also went over well and the students got to move and think. They did great with this! Wen I walked into class today I found out I only had about a half hour when I originally planned for an hour. I was going to expose them to poetry slams and have them present one poem. I did not have time for this but I got through the portion that was needed.
Management was another thing to work on today. They were very excited with all of the activities so it was a little loud but I got them to bring it down without the bells today. I wouldn't change anything today. I liked all of the activities and I wish I would have had more time.
Overall this lesson was great and they'd teacher was very pleased with the work I did and she made sure to find slide shark for her iPad and she wanted the PowerPoint I made.
