Reflextion on Lab B2

After teaching these jum rope activities, I have noticed that not only has my skills gotten better, but so has everyone in the class. Jump ropes are a good way to build up endurance and its a great aerobic activity. During the lesson, I noticed that some students were having a difficult time doing some of my exercises, so I was there to give them instrucions and feedback. The students looked like they were interested because they were all sweating and putting alot of effort to get the 360 twist down. Not only did they have fun performing the exercise, I had fun teaching it to them. Some things I noticed about the lesson is that I didn't give them a signal for attention and I didn't give that great of cues for them to remember. Besides that, I feelI taught a pretty good lesson and i look foward to teach juggling for my next lesson. Below is my mp3 teaching file, feel free to listne anytime to hear my lesson.

Reflextion on Lab B1

In today's class I felt more confident in my teaching experience now because I am starting to project my voice so the whole class can hear me. I am also starting to use all the steps such as the hook, signal for attention etc. While walking around I feel that I am giving more feedback to each student and feel more comfortable teaching each and everyday.

Reflextion on Lab A2

I felt really good about today's lesson because in the beginning of the class, Alex and I ran the instant activity that jump started the class. At first I was not talking too loud, but I started to feel more comfortable with using my voice in the gymnasium. I worked on projecting my voice after my first attempt at this lesson in Lab 1A.

My Lesson Intro

After observing this video, I realized my volume was not too bad, but it can definately be improved. I feel that my body language was congruent to what my lesson was about. My lesson and my message was to show students how to throw a baseball with proper mecahnics. While I was speaking about the mecahincs, I also showed step-by-step instructions for it to be easier to understand so it would be easy for the students to be able to do it. Next time I teach, I will be raising my volume alot more and using more visual aids in my lessons.

Relfextion of Lab 1A

Reflection on today's lesson:
1. What do you think went well in your lesson or your teaching? I think everything went well from when i gathering the class into a circle and began my lesson. First I explained what activity I was going to be teaching and started showing them by example and explaning while i was going along. I feel my teaching was effective becasue after showing the students how to throw a football in a perfect spiral, I seen them using my technique and they were throwing perfect spirals
2. What do you think you need to improve in your teaching skill or content? I feel I need to improve on my volume because I felt I was not talking loud enough for the students to really hear me and it is something I will be improving on.
3. How are the improvements you listed above (answers to question #2) going to impact student learning and/or motivation? These improvements will impact my teaching ability by making my lesson much better then they already are and that means the students will be more comprehensive on the lesson I will be teaching.

Gio's Intro

Relfection of first class

When I entered the gym all I saw all the equipment laying in the hoola hoops and didnt know what was going on or what to expect. The next thing I know we are being seperated into two seperate groups and wondering what is going to happen next. Then I realized that I was going first in my group and I had to teach a lesson involving the rest of the group. After thinking what I was going to do, I taught the group how to throw a football the correct way by going through the mechanics and the ball was thrown perfect. After going first and finishing the lesson, at first I was a little pressured to teach on the spot. But I then realized that im going to have to do that everyday in my career and I stepped up and lead the class in a lesson.
