November 4

Today we taught our micro-lesson plan in class today; mine was on alcohol and drugs and the effects it has on your body.  I think I did alright, I get really nervous when I have to get up in front of all my peers. I found it difficult to teach to my peers because they were having small conversation to themselves while I was trying to teach and at times if felt like I was talking to a brick wall. It kind of gave me a taste of my own medicine in the sense that sometimes I don't give my professors 100% of my undivided attention. One thing I would change about my lesson would be the true or false part, it needed to be done in a bigger area, so it could have been done outside or I could have moved the tables. It was hard to tell who was on what side because the tables were in the way. I would also have them talk one at a time why they choose the side that they were on instead of shouting at each other like they did.
