Fremont High School (again!)

9:00 am to 1:00pm

4 hours (cumulative hours at Fremont HS 48.5)

CCTC Standards: 12, 13, 14, 17, 18, 19, 20

Dr. Farmer did not come and observe me today but Ms. Hoover did. I did a lesson with Ms. Cortes' ninth grade class. They are studying Romeo and Juliet and I thought I would do a lesson combining genre and the LAUSD Digital Library. The students are working on projects related to Romeo and Juliet and Ms. Cortes said they were having trouble coming up with topics and just generally getting started. The lesson went really well. The class was very small, and very participatory, considering they did not know me. Hopefully Dr. Farmer will come tomorrow.

Ms. Cortes was really easy to work with. She let me take the lead and was in more of a support role, but she did collaborate with me on the planning of the lesson.

I prepped by getting all my materials together, making copies, setting up and testing the LCD projector. The class came in during 3rd period for an hour. I debriefed with Ms. Hoover and cleaned up.

I will try to attach my lesson plan!
