Fieldwork Group 2

This past week group two had their chance to teach the class. They did a great job and I am glad that I got to watch them!

Group two taught about culture and immigration in their direct lesson. Some of the students seemed to never have heard of immigration so it was very interesting to see them learn. I liked the topic and the group did a great job of introducing new vocabulary. For guided practice, the group utilized a matching game and even had the students come to the board and write the correct answers. 

Next group two moved on to inquiry. Personally, I loved their inquiry and thought that it was very creative!! The problem that they posed was that students who were traveling got their suitcases mixed up and it was up to the students to correct the problem. The group utilized mystery bags so that the students could guess where the bag came from based off of the items inside. The students had a lot of fun doing this and were able to guess right away. The teachers provided packets full of information for the students to give them some background knowledge. The students also watched videos on the area that their suitcase was from in order to give fun facts to the class. I think this lesson went really well and I enjoyed watching it!

Finally, it was time for group two's cooperative lesson. For this they had the class create scrapbooks for different immigrants. The students were given stories and had to put the story in order from the beginning, to the middle, to end. The students then had to create drawings and pictures and share their creations with the class. The students did a great job and the scrapbooks came out amazing!

Overall, group two did great and I am excited to teach my lesson next week!
