Field Placement
We were asked to complete 10 hours of field experience for this particular course. I decided to complete mine over spring break while I was home; I went back to my middle school in Massachusetts: Auburn Middle School. I spent 10 hours in an eighth grade Social Studies classroom, which was interesting being an English concentration, but it definitely made me step out of my comfort zone. I observed the teacher for two hours and then the rest of the eight hours were put towards me working with the students and employing three different literacy strategies of which we learned in class.
