One week from today I will begin my student teaching at Florence High School, and this Friday I will be meeting my teacher and getting some textbooks. I am so nervous and excited! The butterflies in my stomach are going crazy at just the thought! I just can't believe it's already here!
In the meantime, I have been looking online for different lessons or units to help me LEARN theatre information. I found one unit on set design (one of the classes I will be teaching). It seems pretty neat. There are a lot of terms I am not familiar with, though. I am hoping the textbooks I receive will help out with that in an easier way. I've tried looking up a lot of them, but I keep getting distracted.
Also, one of the pages I like on Facebook is a page called Scholastic Teachers. I like this page because they post a lot of questions that either they ask or members ask. There are usually so many people to answer that it gives a lot of insight and ideas. This page also helped me find two other pages: Secondary Solutions and Hunger Games Trilogy Teaching Resources. Both of these pages have so many other helpful teaching resources. Who knew Facebook could be so useful to teachers?!
After browsing some of these pages, I came across this lesson:
J.R.R. Tolkien's birthday
I love the idea of playing up author's birthdays, especially someone like J.R.R. Tolkien. I also like incorporating the film and the text of The Lord of the Rings, and then taking it back to whatever the class was reading beforehand. I think it helps to break up the monotony of the same thing every day. What do you think about this lesson? I think I'm a little in love with it currently because I'm reading The Hobbit. :)
Lastly, I want to end with a quote for every post. Feel free to comment about the quote or anything in the blog. I'd love to have followers and people to talk back about what I post. Hopefully I'll have some meatier posts as I get into student teaching!
