 Teaching my passion in my first practicum, learning about politics and civics, helping my students with a flowchart that’s easy to understand.

 Graphic organizers created during my practicum, the students filled in their own personal graphic organizers after working as a class to fill in the information.

 Group work done during my second practicum experience. This was the Silk Road trading game that helped teach my grade 8 students about the importance of international trade and particularly the impact of the Silk Road on Chinese trade and development.
