My eighth hour of teaching of teaching was one of the more impactful hours of my practicum. The class itself was focused primarily on preparing the students for their upcoming unit test and going over the skills needed for it. This hour was so impactful for me as I feel that this was the hour when a lot of my sponsor teachers advice clicked for me. Prior to this lesson my sponsor teacher was encouraging me to include both a wider array of activities as well as the purpose of my lesson. While I had been attempting to follow this advice in the past I feel that it wasn’t until this lesson that I finally understood how to articulate and identify what my purpose for a lesson was. This was also the lesson were I first branched out into more activities. Overall I felt like this lesson built my confidence with experimenting and trying new activities/assignments while also showing me how to identify my purpose and how important that purpose can be to a lesson plan.
