Day 10

Well, I don't have a picture since both my phone AND camera died on me. What are the odds.

But I figure I can sum up my day with this



Some of you naysayers might be thinking "Well gee Evan, that sure is a strange image to sum up your day". You would be right. But it does represent how much fun and how happy I am doing my internship. Everyday makes me wonder how I might run MY future classroom.


I'm planning on asking my mentor questions like these:

1. Why is it you became a teacher?

2. Are there some days that bring you to the brink while teaching?

3. How do you expect to cope with the upcoming budget cuts?

4. What courses do you recommend for college students aiming to become teachers?



So today was another laid back day, mostly due to the heavy rain. The kids were disappointed that they had to stay inside all day. But my mentor and I decided that if they worked diligently throughout the day, we would reward them by letting them watch Kung Fu Panda. Which, on a side note, is one of favorite of all time. Anyway, I also met with my team for the PBJ project. I had them pair up and create storyboards for the segments they came up with. My segment is called "Ask an Intern", where students submit questions to me about high school and things they are curious about dealing with their academic future. Sometimes the questions are just things they want to know. I'm expecting this to be a lot of fun when it rolls of the production line. Hopefully that will be before I have to present it.
