Today I finally taught a lesson to students and saw it carried out from beginning to end! It was wonderful. Of course that are many things I would have done differently if I knew yesterday what I now know. My lesson was a Social Studies lesson about the three branches of government at the national level. The students were partnered up and read from the textbook for the first 15 to 20 minutes. Then we watched a School House Rock video, Three Ring Circle. It went perfect with the lesson. Next we had a class discussion on what was read and the video. Then we did a word sort within each pair, places roles and people under the right branch. The students listened a lot better then I would have thought they would which definitely helped! I am thankful that it is over now and I know that getting in front of the students is not horrible and I can do it! I am also glad that I got to do a hands on Social Studies lesson cause the class does not get to see Social Studies being as hands on as Science or Math is in the classroom.
