My second part of my lesson plan was finishing reading Mr. Lincoln’s Way, and have a discussion regarding racism and bullying. The students were still actively engaged in the lesson and they were excited about the activity. The activity was having a cardinal bird with each of the students’ unique characteristics on it. Once they completed it, we put it on the back wall and we had a gallery walk. I wasn’t that nervous compared to my last lesson, I felt more confident. The only thing I felt that I needed to reassure myself was to come up with strategies for classroom management, and have a clarification on my activity.
The second part of this lesson seemed to go really well! It is a lovely display and I look forward to reading some of their thoughts.
