During this class we did 10 lesson plans and I felt like I learned so much more from doing them. From the first two that were due to the last three that we just turned in, I became to do so much better on them. I loved adding the DOK's into our lesson plans because I have never did that before in another class. I also loved deciding which strategy to use for our lesson plan. Those two things I never really put much thought into until doing all of these lesson plans. I have 5 lesson plans due next week for another class and I feel I will be much better prepared to do them after doing all of these for this class. Although sometimes I felt like the work was a lot I was glad to do the lesson plans because it made me better. After next week, I have two more class in the early summer and I will be done and begin my student teaching this fall. I am so excited. I loved this class and all that I learned!
I feel the same way about these lesson plans. At first the DOK's were intimidating because we had never been told we had to include them in our lessons before, however, with some practice we are now much more confident in writing lesson plans and using DOK's questions. Mrs. Wright has been fabulous, and I am so thankful she has shared insight with us on things such as the DOK's, and other items related to student teaching that will help make us successful. God bless her! :) I will also be student teaching this fall, and I have one class to go before then, I am sure we will be seeing each other in there. I wish you the best in your future endeavors! :)
