Assessment Day

September 21, 2007

Note: This post was made after the journal entry.

I did my assessment today. I learned that I'm not very good at giving directions. I understand it in my head, but when I try to tell someone else, it comes out all jumbled and confusing. Ms. Screws tried to help me out, but I wish she hadn't. I wanted to know if I could recover on my own. It will be interesting to see how theses assessments turn out. I leafed through them already--and some of the sortings are wild!

Things are pretty boring in some of her classes (especially geometry). It is hard for me not to fall asleep. I can't imagine how the students feel if I'm this bored and I'm a math person! As she goes through her lecture, she calls on students to answer questions, but the rest just seem to "check out" while their classmate responds. There has to be a more interactive way to present this lesson.
