Week 2-Thursday

Today I headed over to the middle school around 9am. I showed my planned activities to Ms. Greenly, and she told me that they would fit in just fine with the plans for the day. I then spent some more time refining my plans, and made an answer key for the Jeopardy game I created yesterday. For both classes, today was mostly about review for a test because they have not had French class in a couple of days (they had state testing). After they finished their review, I got to do my human sentence exercise with the other class. It was a little more difficult because the class is much smaller. During the second class, I got to do my Jeopardy activity. It ended up working out really well. I was nervous because I wasn't sure whether I had made it too easy or too hard for them (I have only been in their classes two other days so I wasn't sure what level they were at) but there ended up being just the right balance of right and wrong answers. Tomorrow I am going to do the Jeopardy with the other class, as well as another activity I made up. Next week will be spent almost entirely on the French culture project I created for them. I'm anxious to see how they do. I left the school around noon. Overall, it was a very productive day, and good to observe the students and how they each learn. I hope that before my project is over I will be able to get to know their individual learning styles a bit more.
