I really enjoy planning, so I am having a lot of fun brainstorming the Group Teach.
I remember the first time my group met: we were all pulling our hair out, wondering how we could teach for nearly three hours and how we should structure the lesson. So, it has been incredible to see how everything is coming together.
We have delegated different parts of the lesson for each teacher to lead, which has really helped me understand what the evening is going to look like. Knowing exactly what I am going to be doing was helpful because I do not always work well with abstract planning.
Right now I feel as though my part of the night's lesson is continously morphing into something new. I am really excited to put it in action and see how my classmates react to it. However, first I recognize that I need to narrow down exactly what I want my part to look like. I am currently juggling two or three ideas that will just not fit with everything else that we have planned.
Overall, I see that our rough plans are beginning to have some shine to them. I feel as though all we really have left to do is to put everything together and smooth out the rough edges.
