Teaching Journal: First Teaching Lesson 

3/6/2013

0 Comments

 
Summary: This was my first time teaching a class at the university level. I have tutored and TA'ed at a four year college, but I was still very nervous. Especially because the lesson topic was outside of my comfort zone to begin with.
  • Previous student started the class with a successful essay she wrote from last semester
  • Discussed connection to to next class and asked questions about writing theses, details, and paragraphs
  • Reviewed notation for correcting essays (VF, CS, PL, etc.)
  • Reviewed "Student Success Essay: Final Draft Checklist"
  • Notes on "Effective thesis statements"
  • I taught a grammar lesson on verb+gerund/infinitive and the difference in meaning

Thoughts: I did OK on the lesson delivery, but prepared some wrong information. I had to back pedal and change the information after I was stopped by the master teacher and told one of my rules was backwards. That was not so great for a first lesson.
