Fourth Lesson

I prepared myself as I was teaching in the afternoon. After experiencing the tiredness of the class on that Tuesday, I prepared myself to the same energy. However, there was another surprise for me. The class was also planned to have science that day. However, with my lesson already planned, the class had to miss out on the cool science lesson to sit and learn in mine. I felt horrible in having to take away the students from seeing how the bottle turned silver. The students were all in foul moods. They would rather be sitting outside, listening to the cool science lesson. They all looked up at me with dull faces.

I tried to be enthusiastic and began asking the students what they knew about architecture. After giving me examples of architecture, we color the pyramids, the Sphinx, the Great Wall, and the Forbidden City for the sort. I had the students gather in a large group to sort the characteristics of the four types of architecture. Trying to give everyone a chance to come up, I called out the characteristics and had the students lift up the drawing of the architecture they thought it went with. Afterwards, we made connections among the architecture and with the architecture we see today. The lesson ended with the students writing exit cards about what they learned during that lesson.
