Final Assignment

As I type this, I am heading over to Moodle to put my Final Unit Reflection into the Drop Box!

This has been a crazy semester! However, I feel like I can now sing "I Will Survive" or "I'm a Survivor"!! I made it!

Wrap-Up

I guess this semester is over. On my personal blog today, I posted that I feel like I'm rounding third and about to slide into home. Of course, I really feel like I'm rounding third and going to collapse ON home! :)

This has been a very interesting semester. However, I think I have officially survived. Well, it's only official after I turn in my Unit Reflection, fax over my Experience hours, and write-up a Reflection for the English Journal articles we are to read this week. Once those three things are complete (by tomorrow), I will be able to say that I officially survived.

As much as I would love to share my Clinical Experiences Reflection with all of you. However because of the fact that I just *love* to write so I only wrote EIGHT PAGES! I hope the rest of you wrote shorter reflections than that. IF you didn't, Dr. Coffey is going to be reading for months! lol

I'm getting anxious about where I'm going to be Spring 2010. Hope you all have great Student Teaching experiences next semester! Maybe, just maybe, some of us will keep our blogs and keep posting about ideas and things that are happening in English! We can use them to help each other!


Happy Holidays! Merry Christmas! Happy New Year! Pleasant Teaching! :)

Unit Planning

I hope that one day (SOON) I will get to teach the unit I just finished planning. Although I could not find all the works of art and literature and music that I wanted, I think I did well on the unit. I hope so anyways.

All I have to finish up now is typing up my Case Study. I finally have the paperwork for it and have it almost written up. I can't believe how long it has taken me. Then I have the Clinical Action Research Project (CARP) that I have to finish writing up. Most of it is written, I just have to type it up. Some of it (like my notes and stuff from class) I am going to have to copy and send to her. So, I might end up mailing a copy as well as e-mailing it.

This has been a crazy semester for me. I can only hope that Spring 2010 is 100% better.

Lesson Plans

I have been looking at my ideas for lessons for a week now. Simply, I can not write a lesson plan. Maybe I really do work better under pressure. Maybe around noon tomorrow, I will start spewing out lesson plans! However, right now, I'm having issues pulling them out!

Another issue I am having is putting my ideas into the UNCC Lesson Plan Format. (I'm really glad we only have to do one that way.) Of course, after I do ONE, I will probably realize that it's easy and do most (or all) of them in that format.

It's either going to be a really long night or a very stressful day trying to get only 5 lesson plans finished for tomorrow. I don't know HOW I'm going to finish the whole unit. :)

It will come to me. I was just hoping I wouldn't have "planner's block" right now! lol
