Weekly Reflection: Re-Up And Clarifying Concepts For Students
Weekly Reflection #2
This was my first week planning instruction for the full week. Students are becoming used to my being there and some are warming up to me, some are not.
In my first period class, I am struggling with keeping the students engaged and the large amount of students that are absent each day. I am frequently having to re-teach concepts because everyone is in a different place. This week I focused on helping students catch up and clarifying concepts for students before I taught new material. I decided to do a Venn diagram activity, to help provide a visual of the differences between the two major concepts we are studying, photosynthesis and cellular respiration. This week I also played a review game with the students “Jeopardy”
