Day One

   Group one presented their direct lesson today and of course the smart board shutdown on them! I think they did a wonderful job and recovered quickly and efficiently to their technological problems. The kids seemed to gain a lot of knowledge from their lesson and had fun while doing it. I liked their idea of creating little cards with one red side and one green side to have the students hold up to say whether they agreed or disagreed with a classmate's answer to a question. I also like how one time they had the kids stand up if they agree because it let them move around a little and it was something different from the cards. Overall, I think the lesson went pretty well, especially considering it was their first time ever being up in front of a class. After seeing them go, I'm calmer about certain aspects of having to teach a lesson, but the smart board going out and the comments that were made about what went wrong made me even more nervous for when it's my group's turn!
