Towards the end of last week, I was able to get into the groove of pre-internship. The planning, execution, and marking has become less daunting and far less overwhelming. I've come to the conclusion that exit/entrance slips are possibly the greatest tool for formative assessment and class involvement.
In a three minute step, I can write a few quick questions, have students answer them, and gauge whether or not I've taught my lesson well enough (and whether I need to review anything the next day.)
For my Reflective Essay, I thought about co-constructing the rubric with the students, but they weren't really into it. The students within the class are fairly apathetic, so it's quite difficult to really get them into doing, well, much of anything, so I just made my own grading scale and asked whether or not they felt that allocation to be fair.
I've been getting some of the other 11 point paragraphs trickling in. Unfortunately, there are a few left out there that I just don't think I'll get. I've set up a teacher email for students to send any late assignments for when my pre-internship is over. Hopefully I won't be marking too far into the summer!
