Journal Entry 9

This week was the final week for work on our lesson plan. I'm proud to announce that everything is ready for our lesson. Our quiz has been created as have our final question and our power point. Now all we have to do is teach this lesson.

This week was once again a rather slow week, right now we're just gearing up to get our whole lesson plan together. We did decide that we'll only do the lab with the bowl and the latex sheet, however. This should save time and let us focus more on the lesson itself.

Not much was done this week seeing as we have almost everything done. Basically we've been working out the details for the lesson plan and figuring out the materials we need for the lab.

This week we finally had our teacher meeting and discussed our lesson plan. We will now be teaching the lesson over two periods instead of 3 because the labs will not take a whole period which will allow the quiz to be taken in that period as well.

This week we managed to find a few more sources before we start making the lesson plan.

Figure these might come in handy for later.

This week we came up with a plan as to how we are going to go about teaching this topic. During the first period of teaching we will give notes to the students to help them understand the basic concepts. The second period will consist of a lab that will be used to help them better understand the concepts they learned. The final period will be the quiz which will be used to gauge their understanding of the concepts we will teach them.
