We all have those days, the days that we simply have to do a lecture. And for me it was today, because I was not prepared to do an activity. I printed up the notes for the students, and set up my projector, and was off and running. My first period is always so hesitant to talk as always. I tried to include a lot of examples as well as opportunity to come up with their own examples for each vocabulary word. But I can tell I had low engagement (down to probably 4/30 kids at some points). I want to finish this tomorrow so we can move on and do another activity.
In one period I had a good argumentation session around if shells are living or not. And in most classes they are comfortable with the think pair share. I want to tie in the PBL every Friday.
