Preparing My First Lesson!!

 The Process of Creating the Lesson

    The assignment that I prepared for last class consisted of the students reading this text about the genre of science fiction. The text talks about what science fiction is about, and it includes an example of Fahrenheit 451, a book by Ryan Bradbury about a future where books are not allowed and a firefighter whose job is to destroy books. The students in my group had to read this text and answer my question about whether they thought that science fiction was effective at making commentary on real world issues, and to find evidence from the text where they could find evidence that supported their opinion. Creating my Lesson Plan was a lot more challenging than I thought it would be. This is because I had to find a text that I felt was appropriate for the class, and at the same time would be something that could help my hypothetical students develop as readers and writers.
I think that the most enjoyable part of my lesson was actually having the opportunity to teach it and be able to see how I faced this situation, because despite all my preparation I was still very nervous to show the students what I had done for my lesson. 

Reflections On the Other Lessons

    I enjoyed being part of my group and getting to participate in my classmates’ lessons! I think that they were really professional and I believe that the topics that they chose and the questions that they asked were very really interesting. The second lesson of our group was one that I particularly enjoyed, because it was about Tiktok, and the impact of social media in our lives. We were asked to read this article and to write about the relevance that TikTok has over current day topics and the importance of fact-checking the things that we read online. The task was pretty similar to the one that I had which was to find evidence in the text of the things I wrote about. I think that I found the reading really interesting, and my classmate was very clear with the instructions and acted like a real professional. I think that I want to become a teacher who is just as confident as my classmate seemed. I have the issue of not really seeing myself as an authority figure and as a real educator. Having assignments of this kind makes it just a matter of time until I gain the confidence to give a lesson and not be nervous about it.
