Today, I got to take over three classes. It was lab day.. I learned a few things that I need to improve upon. Firstly, it is surprising growing up in a large family that I do not have LOUD voice. I need to learn to project my voice and demand attention without raising/going into a high pitched yell.
Secondly, I need to wait until the entire class is quiet until I talk since the students in the back could not hear me talk over the talkers.
Thirdly, there is always that student who is trying to "help" by being obnoxiously loud repeating your instructions.
And lastly, no matter how many times you explain to a class to read the directions BEFORE starting, someone will not and definitely mess up.
All in all, it went well. I need to improve on my techniques and learn to adapt when things don't seem to go well from one class to another.
I am looking forward to another day.. and a three day weekend. !
