Practicum - Week 4

This week in practicum, my class was studying "Habitats of Georgia". The one day I observed the students were discussing the swamp/marsh region. To open up the lesson, my teacher let the students watch a video clip from "The Magic School Bus" about the swamp area. The students loved the video! I actually learned some things from watching the video. After the video was over, the teacher had the students get out their science books and they went over the lesson about the swamp/marsh region. After they went over the lesson, the teacher passed out these little booklets about the swamp and we went over them as a class. At the end of the booklet, there were questions that the students were supposed to answer about what they had read. At the end of the lesson, the students turned in the booklet for a grade.
