Reflection on Experience
I had a great experience in eighth grade. It made me anxious to be in a different content area than English and in an eighth grade classroom, but I ended up really enjoying myself. I think I worked well with the other students once I got comfortable. The nonlinguistic representations worked very well, but if I could do the jury activity again I would try to get through more of the Supreme Court cases because I think the more the students did, the more they understood the activity. I want to learn more note taking strategies because just showing the class one strategy (combination notes) was amazing to see how excited they were because they were doing something different.
