Day Nine

I tried leading a discussion in Schultz's English 11 on Monday. I didn't do the one that I put together because there wasn't enough time, so I tried my hand at leading a discussion based on a worksheet that Schultz wrote, with her support of course.

I felt like I was trying to play basketball with a team full of pros, standing on the sidelines waving my hands around hoping for someone to pass me the ball. My discussion didn't go so well.

During second hour I decided that Monday had to be my last day at Jefferson. I enjoyed my time there, but I began to think that I'd pretty much done everything I could possibly do. At least that was until Schultz dropped a pile of papers for me to correct for mechanics and grammar, which is what I spent the rest of my day doing. It was pretty awful, so I'm really glad that Schultz offered it to me. It was actually a good way to see just how much work a teacher has outside of the classroom.
