Max Final Reflection

I think that many things went well in my workshop.  One thing that we did well was spreading out the amount of time each person spoke.  Each person in our group spoke a good amount without interrupting one and other.  Another thing that our group did well was making sure that             while the students were learning, they were having fun at the same time.  It was weird to be a teacher.  I finally felt how it is for real teachers who have to teach everyday.  It is fun but very hard work.  You have to make sure that everyone is doing what they are supposed to be doing and not fooling around.  It was really interesting to see how much the kids actually knew about the hunger problem in the world.  As a team we argued a little bit, but at the end it all worked out and we had a smooth lesson for the kids to enjoy and take something from it.  If I could change something that I did in my workshop I wouldn’t have mumbled one sentence that I said.

What stuck with me was the amount of people who die of hunger everyday.  I was very surprised by this and so were the people in my class.  My set up group used our time pretty productively.  We were able to come in early some days so that we could perfect our song.  I think that the assembly went well and was run very professionally.  There was a lot of hard work put into this teach in.  We had to brainstorm for ideas and then write up a proposal.  It was fun and we had a lot of time to work on it.  I suggest that next year you don’t give the kids as much time to work in class and tell them to do work outside of school.
