Decent Essays

A subject that I know I will be teaching is, reading comprehension in social studies. The scaffold that I will be utilizing is, I do, We do, You do. This allows me to demonstrate to the students what I am thinking in my head while I am reading. During the I do portion, I will be modeling

    Doing clinical observations are very important because it gives a change to see student and teacher interactions first hand and get to see how well a student is responding.

Through the course of my practical, I was given a Grade two class to observe and I unquestionably discovered a recently developed love for that age group.

I have gained a lot of experience after helping out with the activities and my knowledge for teaching has grown immensely.…
