Practicum Report #7 (Joel)
A. Time Spent This Week: 7 (Sunday school=1; morning service=2; band practice=1.5; evening service=2.5)
B. My Class This Week:
1. Before Class. Before class I spent some time hanging out with a kid named Caleb. He was the only boy there when I arrived a little before class started. He was playing basketball and so I shot with him and rebounded for him for a while. He seemed pretty shy but I tried to make some conversation with him.
2. Class Time. Another practicum student taught in my class this week. Apparently it was the first weekend of Spring Break for many local junior highers because attendance was at an all-time low since I've been there. My supervisor failed to inform the student teacher of this previous to class so she had to make some last minute adjustments to her games and lesson plan. We broke into small groups and I co-led a group with my supervisor. The boy from before class, Caleb, was in my group along with Gayle, Hannah, and Nick. We had some good discussion but the lesson seemed to strike these kids as somewhat redundant. It was somewhat of a salvation message dealing with the forgiveness of sin.
C. My Questions This Week
1. What are some good topics or textual topics to focus on at the junior high age to avoid being redundant?
2. Should you always have a back-up plan for your lesson for a case such as a very small amount of students showing up?
