I don’t want to quantify how much you should write, but it is only fair to present some kind of expectation. Write a paragraph for each question. It need not

I had a lot of “ums” in the beginning when we were thinking about rules and just talking with the class. When I started teaching the lesson’s real material, they were a less regular. This is most likely because I was trying to think of rules and used the “ums” as filler while I thought. Because of this, however, I am not sure why I didn’t use more “ums” in the math, for that was more complicated to explain and I had to think more on my feet for that section.
b. How much time do you provide students to answer questions after you ask them?
i. I did not need to wait that long for students to answer, the class was responsive when I asked something. In an actual classroom, however, I know this won’t always be the case. Wait time allows students to think and process what is being said and asked. I need to be comfortable in the silence as I wait for students to think. This is something I will keep in mind as I move forward as a teacher candidate and teacher.
c. Discuss the pace of your talking, especially during information heavy portions.
i. The pace was quick, for I would get an answer from a student and keep going. As mentioned by you and a peer, I need to take it slower to allow students to digest the information more. This is a hard concept to master and comprehend, heck, all math is challenging, so I really need to consider my pace and how I’m conveying the information with
When I completed this lesson I actually felt I should re-think my decision to become an educator. Mrs. Anderson makes this job look easy. I had prepared my science lesson plan Monday and scheduled to start a 3-day lesson on Wednesday. I tried to keep my lesson close to the basal/textbook. I feel as though the students responded positively. They were responsible in raising their hands to answer questions. I had a note to “slow down” in my notes. This helped me pace my lesson appropriately. I felt confident….and then I did not! HOWEVER, this time I did not speed up my speaking and rush through the lesson as quickly as possible. I added a few examples that were not on my plan with the hopes to explain matter to the students and I believe that helped one or two students. I felt, as a class, we stayed on topic the entire class. There were a
3. Writing big paragraphs will help students focus on exercising on their thinking and imagining to the limit.
These are the automatically computed results of your exam. Grades for essay questions, and comments from your instructor, are in the "Details" section below.
Look to see how many journal entries are required for your grade level on the page where your book is listed. Journal entry requirements are per book. You are all reading different books, of different lengths, and of different levels of potential analysis. The more you converse and analyze the text, the more you will be prepared with the essay assignment and test to follow in September.
the appropriate length depends on the journal to which you are submitting, but they are typically

1. Write a composition using one of the topics listed below. Your composition should be three to five paragraphs long. It should contain an introduction, a body, and a conclusion.
Remember to always indent the first line of a paragraph (use the tab key). The introduction should be short (2-3 sentences). The margins, font size, spacing, and font type (italics or plain) are set

Please complete these questions in groups of 2, to hand in. The grade is calculated as part of your participation grade, so participation, as with the last case, can improve your score substantially, even if your calculations aren’t all perfect!
General Suggestions: • • • Get everything verified from a peer or someone else before you submit your answers. It’s always better to have a second perspective. Please stick to the word limit. Neat handwriting and clarity of thought: very important. Sometimes the way you write matters more than what you write.
