Day 5 Senior Project

 I went to Intro to Lit at 10:10. I got he opportunity to look over some theses and help the freshman out with their capstone projects. I then attended Culture and Conflict, where I helped Ellie look over some ideas for college essays. This made me reflect back on my college essay and think of what I could have done better. After Culture and Conflict, I went to the second Into to Lit class, where I did pretty much the same are earlier, but also got to play kickball with the freshman for Friday Funday. I worked for about 4 hours. It was overall a good day and had fun reflecting on my freshman year Into class with Mel.

Week 2 Reflection

My second week of Senior Project was a success. I have learned many things both as a student and a teacher. This week I got to focus more on the teaching aspect of being a TA. I got to help create tests for Intro to Lit as well as create questions for a harkness in Culture and Conflict. However, I mainly helped Mel by making sure everyone was on track with their final projects for all five classes.  I have really started to connect with all the students in the classes, even the freshman. This week, Athletes and Lit was pretty normal and so easy to manage, we even got the opportunity to go out for ice cream during one of our blocks and simply have a conversation on our book. I have finally started to get used to both Intro classes, they are full of wild freshmen, but have been making sure they are getting their work done and am excited to start grading the tests Mel and I created for them. My favorite class this week was definitely Culture and Conflict, where I simply got to sit, li...

Day 12 Senior Project

  Today I had both Culture and Conflict blocks first. The students worked on their projects for innovation night. I mostly walked around and helped whoever needed it. I then went to senior seminar at 11. I had a quick lunch and headed to Athletes in Lit. During that block we watched Saltwater Buddha the movie. This was important to jog students memories on the book so that they can succeed on their final projects. I got to learn a little about grading freshman tests before dinner. With about 3:30 hours of work, it was a good day!

Day 9 Senior Project

Today I went to E block Intro to Lit, where the students took the test Mel and I created for them. While I made sure no one was cheating, Mel and I started creating the F block test for Friday. Because Mel was not teaching any other blocks today, it gave me a chance to catch up on my reading. I read Saltwater Buddha the most, because it is such and inspirational book. After seminar this evening I helped Mel crate a gimkit for one of tomorrows Culture and Conflict blocks. Overall I completed 3:30 hours of work. :)
