 * Field Experience Complete**

Here's da SWAP!!

This represents me because I look very "fly" as the cool kids say. It's about three years (and 100 pounds) old, though. When it comes to being a student, I think repetition helps me learn: re-reading and re-listening help me out a lot. In the classroom I like to take notes often, even if it isn't anything "important." I want my classmates to know that I enjoy participating but am sometimes too shy to talk in class. My Questionnaire

**--how does your Unit Plan address the criteria from our rubric (be specific)?**

I believe I have addressed the criteria of the rubric: my lessons contain all criteria (objectives, resources, activities, assessment, accommodations,) and they all align with the text, my BQ, and have a strong relevance to ELA. I think that my questions and activities helped bridge a gap between Shakespeare and students in a way that achieves relevance to them as well. I strongly integrated language and writing instruction along the way of writing out the unit plan.

Our work on the collaborative unit helped show me the importance of lesson diversity; I liked planning as well as learning from activities that broke the mold of the discussions that we had in the first few. My peers and I took risks and tried new things, and because of that I tried to make all of my UPLAN lessons different and interesting. I also was able to use my experience from the collaborative unit with accommodating exceptionalities to provide ways of helping out students with special needs. Another thing the CUplan has helped with was the very general idea of being open and flexible with time and plans; things always seem subject to change no matter how hard we plan.
 * --what has our work on the collaborative unit taught you about your Unit Plan **?

The process of ongoing feedback helped me become a little more open-minded and critical about everything related to teaching and planning. I appreciated the ability to work on this project in a controlled step-by-step process that was also somewhat collaborative in nature between myself, Dr. Sherry, and my peers. It helped open me up to the idea of being open with my teacher peers and collaborating with them.

LIFE journal Plan (too be determined hopefully on Tuesday, 11/12) My teacher suggested that I assist/help with an activity on 11/12 to get to know my students better, and that on 11/19 I will teach a lesson; I'm unsure on the topic and it may depend on how far they get and where they are at by next week. But it's in the plans.
