Field Experience Teaching
I just recently taught in my field experience classroom. I was at Study Middle School with sixth graders. My lesson was introducing the students to two different newspapers. The class started by writing everything they knew about newspapers and what they liked about newspapers. They were then broke up into groups and discussed what they wrote down. The students were paired up and one student in the group was given a U.S. Today and the other was given the News-Leader. The students explored the newspapers and filled out some questions. After a set time the students then filled out a venn diagram. The students where then given a homework assignment to create their own newspapers about whatever interested them. I thought overall the lesson went well. I had a good time teaching it.

That's very similar to what I will be doing. Sounds like it turned out great.
That sounds like a fun lesson. Are you going to get to see the newspapers that the students created? And if so, will you be grading them? How did the students do in their pairs? Did you have any classroom management problems? Did the students understand a venn diagram?
My lesson was an introduction into what my CT is going to be doing with them through the rest of the semester so I want actually get to see the students newspapers. Students worked great together in pairs they are used to working in groups. I did not have any real classroom management problems. The students were concentrated on the work. The students did understand a venn diagram. They actuall use the venn diagram quite often.
