I guess I really haven’t blogged since Multi-Modal! So here’s a refresher as to what’s going on. I am placed at Field High School in Mogadore for student teaching. My teacher, Mr. Youel, seems really cool. He’s the head football coach at Field and the students really like him, according to the principal. He’s loud and likes to joke around but has great classroom management and keeps the kids on-task. Right now he’s teaching Honors English 9 and “regular” English 10. This spring he’ll pick up a speech class, too. The kids start off by reading Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom, and then they’ll move to short stories for a while.
I’m really excited to finally be in a classroom and have a steady, consistent field experience…but most of all, I’m excited to get comfortable in the classroom and start teaching and getting to know my students. I’ve already got textbooks from Mr. Youel, and he was lucky enough to have teacher editions for me to use. They are brand new Holt Rinehart and Winston books, and I’ve posted links to their websites:
Mr. Youel also let me know that in the Spring I’ll most likely be teaching Shakespeare’s Julius Ceasar and will have a choice of four different short stories I can teach as well. I’m very excited for this opportunity and hope that my experience allows me to gain a lot of knowledge about teaching. With 15 credit hours and all of this classroom time, it will make for a challenging but worthwhile semester!
