View the video you made of yourself teaching this month (June Summer School)
WHAT IS YOUR REACTION TO YOUR LESSON?
Well that's easy.. very few. Let's see.... hmmmm.....uhhhhhhh......wellll......I look pretty damn good in my lucky western faux perloid snap shirt. Too bad my boots weren't in the shot. I'll have to talk to Jr. about that next time. I do try to keep the energy high during my lessons and this one was no exception. For the most part I seemed to project my voice fairly well. I engaged the class with my set and for the most of the class.
Weaknesses-
None, well....other than my time management, classroom movement, explanation of directions and closure. Whew. I always always struggle with time management. This was obvious while I watched the end of my lesson and realized..... oops.... NO CLOSURE. I don't know if I recognized how weak that made my lesson while I was teaching but it was a glaringly clear omission while watching the video. There were some apparent loose ends in my lesson and likely in the minds of the class due to this mistake. I spent too much time on my set. Also, Though I generally feel comfortable teaching, my movements about the class and hand gestures don't always seem to exude that same feeling of comfort. I looked a little awkward and fidgety during independent practice. I wouldn't have expected that.
WHAT DID YOU LEARN FROM WATCHING YOURSELF?
