Finally, today I felt like an English teacher. Everyday, I've been growing more and more comfortable in front of the classroom. Also, the fact that my students respected me and knew what we were going to do today made me realize that I actually affected their lives and taught them something.
My students really seemed to grasp the concept of the Hero's Journey today because they were able to adequately analyze the steps of Beowulf's heroic journey on the Hero's Journey Chart. What I felt they had difficulty grasping was the Vocabulary Review Game. They really were not into playing it and some of them did not know the meanings of the vocabulary words. Considering they have a vocabulary test on Friday, I need to make sure I review this more effectively. Tomorrow, I plan to spend half the period on vocablary review so that they are ready for thir quiz Friday. Overall, I can tell that I am becoming more comfortable in the classroom, which makes me feel better about teaching Language Arts.
