Day 2 of Student Teaching
Feb. 21st, 2008 07:41 pmZomg!
The year 8s are supposed to be learning about medieval history this year in their SOSE/English subject and they're just about finished with Vikings. I thought it'd be an awful shame if I didn't get a chance to teach them a subject area that I know so well/am so passionate about, so I offered to take their last class on Vikings (!!!). And by last class, I also mean their third class. Apparently they've only had bits of 2 lessons on Vikings which is criminal, really. So ZOMG... next week I'll be doing a half lesson on the Vikings and another half lesson (on a different day) on Haikus. O.O
I'm really excited about this at the moment, and my head is exploding with ideas of what to do. I'm sure the mind numbing fear and panic will set in later.
Today was pretty good. It was a lot less stressful than yesterday, so I enjoyed it more. This morning when I got off the train, I saw an MGC student so I decided to follow her because I didn't want to get lost again. Unfortunately, she decided to take a short cut through the back streets in the most CONVOLUTED manner imaginable. It soon became pretty obvious that I was following her, because I was following pretty closely due to my fear of getting lost in the winding back streets, and my shoes were all loud and clacky, and I took every turn she did, and crossed the roads when she did. She was probably paranoid as hell by the end of it. But I got to the school in much shorter time than yesterday, so I deem my scary stalking/following a success. *beams*
