Field Experience Assignment #4: Putting Theory to Work
Write a detailed narrative of your experience teaching a lesson at your field placement this term. Include the lesson plan you developed, a description of how the lesson unfolded, and a summary of any feedback you received from your CT and/or students. Reflect on what worked about the lesson and what you would do differently next time. A set of detailed guiding questions will be provided in class.
Lesson Plan #5: Media-Rich Projects
Design and plan an assignment related to your self-selected novel that involves multimedia or technology components. We will look at examples in class, and there are many ideas in chapter 6 of the Beach text and examples on the textbook’s wiki. Then complete the project; you will share your project during our scheduled final exam time on December 9th.

“His skin takes on the pale, cheerless yellow of winter sun; for a jaw he has the edges of a snowbound field dotted with stubble; his high forehead is the frozen sweep of the Erie, hiding currents of gelid thoughts that eddy in darkness.”
