My CT had me lead an art lesson with the other St. Cloud State student. My CT gave us time to prep for the lesson and plan how we were going show the students how to make the turkey. We took time and made the turkey and did not really talk through how we were going to show the students what to do. We taught the lesson twice, and I could tell we were unprepared. Our first group was a little confused and did not get to finish the turkey. The second group I figured out some tricks and kind of took over the project. I figured out some ways to make the project faster but still engaging. I had the students do all of the cutting, then glueing, finally drawing. This way we did not have to worry about grabbing the scissors again or throwing garbage away. What I really took from leading this project is that we should have a taken time to talk over how we were going to do things, and how it would be the best for the students.
What planning strategies have you picked up from being in the field?
