Fieldwork Experience 

I got the experience of teaching a whole fifth grade class at Bishop Dunn with my classmate for the first time. Teaching the students three different types of lesson was very interesting. The three type of lessons we taught were direct, inquiry, and cooperative. I am very thankful I got this experience in Dr. Smirnova's class. It made me realize what student teaching is going to be like. I have taught in fieldwork before but just a small group of students, never a full sized class before. I learned how to implement technology, different strategies, take charge in the classroom, and speak correctly in front of the class. I learned how important it is to have a back up plan just incise something in your lesson goes wrong. I learned how sometimes lessons, may not go your way and sometimes it could be frustrating. I learned ways to improve to become a teacher. Dr. Smirnova and my peers has helped me become a better teacher and giving me feedback on what I needs to be fixed.

Adventuring Through Time Game Board
This lesson is about the events that started, took place during and ended the American Revolution. Cooperative learning will be used to teach this lesson because it is the last lesson in the unit plan and students are to apply the content they have learned through a collaborative project. The students are to communicate their ideas for the questions to one another as well as express their individual role to the group. To begin, this lesson I started by presenting pictures of each individual from the previous lesson to reviews the students knowledge. The students have to identify and explain some characteristics of that individual. Students were asked asked if they agree to put their hands on their head. 

During this activity, the students got into groups to create a game board. I informed the students that they had twenty-five minutes to complete the game board. I assigned each group with their role for the activity as well. While the students were working, I got the opportunity to circulate around the room to take notes and see how the students carried out their roles communicating with one another to be successful in their work. A rubric was provided on the board for the students to follow. I had each group share their game board that they have created. The students discussed what type of questions they chose as well as why they chose the designing and illustrations they have created,

I was happy to see how well this activity turned out. Students were doing their responsibility and helping each other if needed. It was definitely a successful feeling when you see the students communicating with one another and working together to achieve the task given, I was very pleased with my students and hope they get to play the games in class with their teacher,
