What are your reflections about the experiences of your students? Did you feel prepared for your lesson? Were you, in fact, prepared for what you experienced? Were your students ready to learn? How do you know?
In the experience I noticed something that i did in highs school and sometimes even in college classrooms and that is that the students did not want to answer questions that were just straight out asked to them. IT was a much more successful method to give everyone a topic to talk about with the group and then ask what they discussed instead of just a general question to the class. I feel like we could have been a little more prepared for the class but all in all everything went well. There was a lot of information that could be covered with the chapter we were given so it was hard to pick and choose what to talk about. I do feel i was prepared for the experience, i knew that not everyone would be willing to raise their hands and i don't blame them because some topics are hard to talk about if you dont know the answer and dont want to sound wrong. I do believe that the students were ready to learn because everyone seemed focused and were all good about keeping their attention on us. The multiple group works seemed to engage the students to talk about their own experiences with the things that we were trying to cover. I think that the students were ready to learn because they all came to class that day and there is an expectation that when you go to class you are ready to learn, at least that is how i feel. I am glad at the participation of everyone in the class and the overall experience i had in my group.
