Today was a very interesting day. I mostly observed and shadowed the kids. In middle school it's a lot different from the elementary school. Instead of group work it's mostly individual work and a lot of lecturing from the teacher. The times that they do work in groups are very limited (5-7 min). This is because they have class periods in middle school. The structure is very different. In elementary school you have one teacher all day. In middle school you have a variety of teachers and different strategies in which to learn. I also learned that, my English teacher (who is awesome) that i'm shadowing will teach the same English lesson to 3 or 4 groups of students a day. Its almost a repeated process of teaching the same lesson several times. The kids in Middle school have a lot of sass and a lot of attitude. But I love the teacher because she is also very sassy and doesn't put up with any funny business. my teacher is very outgoing and hopefully will be really fun to work with.
