Wk 1 - day 4

friday, september 5th
i'm glad i did the presentation on thursday...a lot more students are actually remembering my name and asking lots of questions that aren't related to the presentation. the lesson today was looking up life and earth science jobs on a government website. the students needed to find out what the job duties were, salary, required education, job outlook, and a few more. for the most part the students were interested in the activity, but they were moving awfully slow and i don't think anyone was able to finish the exercise. ms. b who has a lot of special needs students in her classes thought that the exercise wasn't beneficial to the students...due to not being able to understand the vocabulary on the website and unable to write. mrs. s thought that the activity went pretty well. i talked to mrs. s later and we talked about how this year her and ms. b might not be able to team teach as much as last year due to the vast difference in their students capabilities.
