Lesson PlanningThis was my first time lesson planning for an extended period of time. In the past, I've been doing one lesson for a class here and there. I've found it difficult to keep both groups engaged and not giving one group more attention over the other. I also wanted to focus on doing different activities while making sure that I engaged in speaking, writing, and reading everyday. I'm pretty excited though that these lesson plans get to include The Outsiders, one of my all time favorite novels!

Emotional ChallengeThe next challenge of the week was reading students journals and having them share very personal information with me. While it made me feel good that they felt comfortable charing, it also made me feel incredibly sad for the things they faced. It was an interesting experience for me to realize all the experiences they've already had in their lives, and they are just so young.
