End of Semester Project

So far, we had our meeting monday morning. We (Tina and I) are looking at doing a dual teaching mini workshop at the ELI. We will observe a couple times and write an observation report looking at student interactions, teacher responses and do an informal interview if we can with the teacher of the classroom to see whether her plans before she came to class went as she thought and if not what changed and how did she/he adapt to the change in plans. We will then compose a mini workshop in three sessions, the first being an introductory session where we will meet the class and let them know what we expect or to gain from this experience and visa-versa. We will then teach two lessons on different occasions that tie into each other with lessons/activities to enhance the knowledge they are already learning about in there classroom. I want to get a better feel for teaching in this environment and kind of get my feet wet per say in the teaching atmosphere and I think this will be a good opportunity to do that.
