Learning Experiences

This week I read an article on the affects of having too much homework. I already understand that homework is meant to increase the student’s experience in the subject, but now that society is pushing the younger crowd to fix world problems, the average student has too many extra curricular and home activities to engage fully on 4-8 hours of homework each night.

Observations

This week I learned how much work went into planning a lesson. Especially, with a partner. When I’m working with McKenzie I realize that there’s so many things that teachers need to consult with each other with to hear different sides of how her lesson can be taught and how to get students engaged–all while doing it efficiently. It’s been an amazing experience, though, and I’m so excited to teach with her and even more excited to see how the class reacts to what we have planned.

Reflections

This year’s musical has been the most stressful, but at the same time, I strangely thing that will make it the best one I’ve been.
