O boy was this whole lesson one BIG MISSON.
From the first lesson we submitted to the revised lesson I think it became a little more controlable. The first one was dragged out and alot of work and interaction was involved in it. With the way the STUDENTS were acting it would have been hard to keep up regardless. It was difficult finding time to actually talk with each partner. Everyone was always busy with school, work, or such other. But finally we just all stuck it out and at laast minutes.. ALTHOUGH NEVER good. We decided how to compute the lesson. So though Facebook and text messages we finally were able to prepare somewhat everything that we wanted to accomplish for a good grade. The objective for us was to get through the lesson and try not to be overtaken by the students behaviors. THEY WENT NUTS, but its funnny, and fun. "Especially when Stephine hit the students, by accident and he landed on the floor." I couldnt even hold back my laughter at that. The quiz and asking students whether or not they understood the material was informal assessment. I think the whole thing was excuted to the best of our knowledge. I don't believe there was a set rule on we are going to do this and this. As we went along we improvised with each other VERY WELL I MIGHT ADD. But with the time permitted it wouldnt be easy to cover the whole lesson, because by the last 15minutes OMGGGGG there was so much drama going on and so much disruption.
OVERALL, I think the lesson went really nicely. The youtube video I created was a very nice and easy opening, and the powerpoint was a nice one as well. I learned that OMGGG I am in troube. Even in the first lesson I was gettting nervous because they were going crazy. I think we would create a better behavioral system, but no one really expects students to go FULL BLOWN NUTS in a classroom. It is a possiblity, but even when I was in high school it never really happened. So I think they taught us that we deffinitly need a behvioral plan to have less disruptions. As much as I loved the powerpoint, we could have made it a little bit shorter and added a little bit more students discussion into it. I think it would have made them less nuts and a little more into the lesson in general, but the lesson was not a bad lesson at all. The writing the names on the board lmfao.. that deffinitly didn't work, and I mentioned if they are going to act like they are in 1st grade they are going to get there name on the board like first graders. Still they didnt care. I did noticed, I WAS GETTING LOUD, at first the looked at me in shock like omggg she mad. But what caught me by suprise was that they actually calmed down for a few moments, but over using the LOUDNESS will lose its effectiveness as well. I think that if we had more time to come up with a behavioral plan and maybe lessoned the power point. That they would really be more into what's going on.
POD CAST REFLECTION
We planned to use the podcast as it was used, to demonstrate the poem. The Youtube video I came up with actually the night before. It was simple and easy to put together. I <3 doing things like that, and it was reallly well and really effective for the lesson.

It was effective because it was somewhat new to the students, and although they were students for the day. As college students and Education students they were interested and looked at it like. WOW. I think it went well. The podcast in general volume was really low, but it was funny to listen to it and actually share it with everyone. I think making the podcast a youtube video was very GREAT idea, and for other lessons it would be great to do it the same way, maybe not with text, but with pictures, and have students create things like this too for projects. It really gets you motivated.. ESPCIALLLLLLY WHEN EVERYONE LIKES ITS AND IS IMPRESSED WITH IT =]

Robert Frost's Home Burial is a great poem and the youtube video was just fantastic. The lesson was impressive and it really showed that you were motivated. Definitely agree that it became a mess by the end, but you all managed the best you could. The comment "We have 3 eyes on you" and then Stephanie's reaction was definitely hilarious.
