REFLECTION & REVISION (This part is to be included in your daily reflections after teaching the lesson. How did I feel about my lesson today? If I feel successful, what did I see the students saying and doing that made me feel that way? What changes to tomorrow’s lesson need to be made as a result of today’s class):
Today went pretty well. The students were in charge of writing their book today. The students and I went around in a circle and wrote a page based off their brainstorming. The students really liked writing their books. They were really engaged and interested. The students even helped each other out with spelling and other grammar aspects. This sometimes made the student who was writing mad, but I was able to calm them down. When we were discussing how to write the page, the students would shout out ideas, but I reminded them to raise their hands. Then I took each of their ideas and tried to condense it into a sentence that we were all able to agree on. The book was only supposed to take a few minutes to write the book, I got halfway done with one group, one book done completely, and one book three-fourths done. I cannot wait to print out their books and give them as presents.
There are a few things I would change to this lesson. One thing would be time. If I had more time to work with the students, I could do more organizational aspects in order to write the book. The best I could do is have them think of ideas or write down things in order to be prepared for the next day as homework. Another thing I would change is having the students type. This went a little slow, but I wanted the students to experience the app ScribblePress. They really enjoyed making their own book. They are very proud of it. This was a very successful lesson that I would do with the students again.
