Teach Week Countdown

       As teach week approaches I wonder what mistakes from Burrilville I can improve on in regards to both planning and delivering lesson plans. Mainly I would like to focus and improve on my overall teacher identity and the persona I convey while leading the class. Since I have already been coteaching for the past few weeks I feel confident on working on my presense as a teacher. Being the one in charge means speaking with a loud voice, acting confident in what I am saying, and to be authoritative when it comes to handling students and pushing them to go further. This is something I look forward to doing next week since I am in my ideal environment to practice this. When it comes to lesson planning I am feeling pretty excited considering the students are already engaged in the book they are reading and are open-minded to new ativities in the classroom. A potential debate and a lesson on the power of influence are already in the works. I want to make these lessons as engaging and hans-on as possible while providing students the right tools and guidance to make them successful. I lookk forward to take all that I have learned and put it to practice in one last hurrah before student teaching.
