teaching

Yesterday, I taught the lesson that I prepared for the Child D. 2 classes. The lesson was an introduction to curriculum in nursery and preschools. I think that the lesson went pretty well; the first class was more responsive than the second class. It was interesting to see how different the 2 classes were when it came to different activities. For example, I started the class by playing a game of "strike-out" (it's the same as hang-man, I just didn't think that some of the professors would like the concept behind hang-man, so I called it strike-out : ) Anyway, the first class was really excited because they were playing a game. The 2nd class, after I was done explaining the rules, just sat there staring at me. I had to tell them that the game was not that hard, all they had to do was guess a letter. Then one person, very hesitantly, suggested the letter A. The students in the class are very intelligent- strike-out just did not seem to motivate them. Overall though, I think the lesson went well for my first time writing a lesson plan and then teaching it.
