Teaching With My Partner

Today we were given the option to do the actual lesson as a group or we can do our lessons on our own. I prefer to do the lesson with my partner because our book is very short and thirty to forty minutes seems wayyyy too long for me to teach alone. Angelica agreed that it would be a good idea to teach together! We go on the first day!!! Which is next week!


We are now done with class and we have the whole lesson set up. We decided to focus on the use of rhymes in the story. We're going to teach the class what rhymes are and then we're going to read the story. During the story, students will be expected to pick up on rhyming paterns. We also want to create a hand out that will be fun and students will get to create their own little rhyming story or poem. Finally, we will finish the lesson with another handout which will be the assessment that will confirm that our objectives have been met. Angie and I are meeting up next Tuesday after class to work on our lesson.

Jimmy Lee Did It

We're done!!! What a sucCesS!!! At first we were recording on my partners computer and we recorded the whole story without any mistakes. Little did we know that the microphone on her computer didn't even work! So we had to do it all over again and this time it was much more difficult because we had the giggles! We had to record over and over about four times because we kept laughing. Finally, we recorded the story perfect from begining to end without any interuptions or mistakes. Our project is complete!

Pre-podcasting September 25, 2009

Last week my partner and I forgot our book so we couldn't record the story. We decided to come up with questions from the story and record those instead. Today I think we're going to begin recording our stories. We already practiced and know exactly what parts we have to read.

So we finished recording the questions and it went well. We only had to redo it once. We also added a picture to go with the questions. Overall it was a successful class period.

Pre-Poscasting

Today we are recording the questions for our story Jimmy Lee Did It. We are unable to record the story because we forgot the book, but we are going to make the best of our time and do everything else that needs to be done, so next time we are able to record the story. We will have more time to practice reading the book for next time to be able to record it right away.For today we decided to come up with questions to ask about the book

Today we created our podomatic accounts which were pretty cool because we got to record! At the beggining I was totally annoyed because I didn't have my own computer so I had to share with my partner and the room was super h0t! When we started recording, I forgot about the heat and started having fuN! Click on the link below to listen to our first actual podcast!

Podcasting

Podcasting..... hmmmm to be honest, I had never heard of podcasting until this class. I think podcasting is another way of communicating with others through recordings. I want to learn everything about podcasting so that I too can incorporate it in my future classroom! I feel lost when it comes to this subject so I definitely look forward to our friday class where we are actually going to get a hands on learning in the computer lab. The biggest advantage I could think of regarding podcasting is that we will able to listen to the recordings of others as many times as we want and make the classroom enviroment more fuN.
