The quality of the work was fantastic as well. each of the students showed visible evidence that
they had listened to me during my demos and 3 out of 4 students finished all three of their
necessary tile prints. They were even good about the cleanup actively following my instruction
during demos without having to hear it again. After each day I tried to do s closure of what they
had completed or at least a reflection of the reasoning behind their work which was marginally
successful.
One of the things that I felt I personally did well at was my organization in my lesson. My
performance and time management aside, I felt like my organizational skills were phenomenal. I
had the entire lesson set out in individual parts across a few days. Even my lesson binder was
complete with flash drives, examples, demos and all necessary handouts for the lesson. All of
my materials were well stocked and I ended up having more than enough for every student in
every single lesson that I taught. Not only this but I had every material divided up into separate
sections so that I could be prepared for every lesson separately and even brought extra materials
to prepare for contingency.
Another thing that I would like to observe is how the students interoperated the lesson. This is
another part of my teaching that I am particularly proud of as well. Even in my first lesson it was
clear that the students really understood what I wanted them too. In the first lesson many of the
students were shy and unhelpful. One could even gather just by being in the room with them that
they did not want to be there. However even in my first lesson I stressed to them the importance
of choosing a social issue for their propaganda. They took initiative and began to develop clear
and concise ideas that had actual relevance to their own daily lives.
There was a particular female student who I had an especially hard time adapting to the lesson.
She did not want to do it and went so far as to express boredom and discontent with my lesson.
However once I began to connect with her I managed to learn that she had a background in dance
and therefore was able to get her to choose the gender associations with dance. Once she had
picked an issue that was important to her and had given her a new vision she wanted to see
realized. Her improvement over just the three classes I had with her was really encouraging and
by the third class she was even able to be helpful to other students. I also managed to express to
her the importance of her project in regards to just regular printing which also really helped her
disposition.
Over all I felt like it was a good learning experience more so than a great teaching experience.
There are quite a few things that I plan to do differently for my next lesson purely based on these
lessons. I feel also that I learned more about teaching in these three lessons than I did in many
weeks of reading. In retrospect this lesson I learned presenting my own makes me wonder and
look forward to my next set of lessons to teach.
