Lesson planning

I already have a topic for my lesson picked out and a standard as well as a good target. I'm just unsure of how it would work in a real classroom. I think the lack of a placement just has me thinking about the aspects of teaching that I may be missing out on. I can't predict how a class would actually receive my lesson and if I could/need to make it more engaging. I feel like I would feel more comfortable with my lesson plans if I could imagine myself actually teaching them. Lesson plans feel too impersonal, and teaching is really supposed to be the opposite of that. Creating these plans is like staring at a blueprint of a house that isn't built yet. Can I imagine what the house looks like, and can I see if it's been planned out well? Yes, I can but other than that I just can't seem to really connect to it. It lacks that real-life connection for me. It just feels like I'm filling out paperwork if I'm honest.

Reading and literature

I thought the integration of knowledge and ideas for ninth to tenth graders was interesting. I think it would be really fun to have an in-depth discussion on why students thought the author might have intended certain meaning from their work. Especially since literature is so subjective, I want to hear how my students felt about the interpretations they were being taught about the text. I also really liked how our students should be able to pull out and identify pieces that were interpreted from other works. the example given was Shakespeare using biblical references in his plays and sonnets. I think this skill will be very useful for our students once they reach college. It’s very likely that they will have to find relevant pieces of information in texts in order to present them in papers or to find other sources to draw from that might be better.   This identification of original source material will be a very useful skill for them in the future. It would also allow us to have ...
