As we reach the end of the semester, I have started to reflect back on all the task that were set fourth for us. Teaching at Bishop Dun was by far the best experience of the semester. Working in our groups, and teaching in front of an entire class was challenging yet so rewarding. Here are some of my top takeaways:
1. Include technology in the classroom as much as possible!
2. Do not wait until the last minute to get tasks done.
3. Social Studies can be fun!
4. Follow with what the students like in order to really engage them!
5. Do not raise your voice when trying to get the classes attention.
You made really good points to remember when teaching in the future! These are crucial pieces of advice that come in handy, even when you least expect it. The one I find the most important is that you should not raise your voice when trying to get the class' attention. If you do so, then the class might just get even more loud which is not what you want. As a teacher, you should try to not talk over your students.
