Third Lesson

The same type of lesson was done for our third lesson and taught by Gloria. We had one large group instruction and broke down into two groups for small group. I generally felt that the students did not work well in small group because it was almost giving them permission to talk and goof off. The students learned about holidays, government, and images. They were able to compare ancient egypt, ancient china, and our world.

During my small group time, the students were still goofing off. However, I tried to make it clear from the beginning that no one should be talking in the group when I was talking. I also sat in a chair so that they would see me more as an authority figure rather than a friend. Even though the lesson was suppose to be independent work, the students did not understand the directions. Therefore, I walked them through the worksheet question by question. Again they did not have time to finish.

The lesson ended well, but I felt that we did not get feedback of what the students had learned during the lesson.
