History Day/What Your Education Teachers Didn't Tell You

Please respond to both questions below:

1. From what you learned last week, comment on the value of having students create History Day projects. Do the benefits seem to you to justify the extra time necessary to help students prepare such projects?

2. This week's class is called, "What Your Education Teachers Didn't Tell You." Did the content justify the title? Did you find today's session helpful as you prepare for your own teaching career?

Leading Good Discussions

Unless the schedule has been changed, today's class should be about leading good discussions. Please comment here on what you did in class, and note what you think is the most important thing you learned from the class.

Before the semester ends, make sure you have added to your electronic portfolio a lessonfor a good discussion.

Unknown topic

My original schedule had you discussing lesson plans for a good lecture, and asked you to bring a tentative plan to class for critique/comparison. Apparently, the schedule is slightly revised, so I am not sure what you are covering today. Please comment here on what you did in class, and note what you think is the most important thing you learned from the class.

Before the semester ends, make sure you have added to your electronic portfolio a lesson plan for a lecture and a lesson plan for a good discussion.
