Week 16

This week in my mentor class I recieved my lesson objective. I am teaching potetial and kinetic energy and different sources for enery such as hydroelectric power, geothermal energy, and solar energy. My mentor teacher allowed me to see part of her science lesson one day and let me teach part of the lesson another day. I made sure to walk around the room and call on students to read to make sure they were on task. They also got to watch a study jams video to preview the material. This is a way I plan to incorporate technology. I also intend to incorporate technology through a power point trivia game that the whole class will do to help learn the material. I plan to have the students use their whiteboards to answer the questions so I can check for their work. When I was previewing a science lesson, I learned how to incorporate technology in a lesson, walk around the room while reading, and ask occasional questions and restate what the main points of the paragraphs are. I feel better about this lesson than I did with my previous lesson because I feel that there is not quite as much to remember. I am very excited to present this next week and I need to go over my lesson with my mentor teacher when I see her next. The only problem I think I may have is talking to fast when explaining things. I need to slow down and think a little more when I speak.
