Class naturally divides themselves boys vs. girls
Beginning of class they read for 15 minutes but most of the students hate it.
The teacher I am shadowing was told to straighten up a bookshelf-she did- then the other teacher just shoved her aside and said "Actually, I can do this later. Just sit down." She said that in front of me and in front of the students... I felt so bad for her :(
However, the Gen Ed teacher was much softer than last time. So i think we're making progress...
For the class, they are learning about poetry and had to find different characteristics of poetry in songs they hear on the radio. I really like this idea because most songs were rap/hip-hip songs, which the students seemed to enjoy. Even though the students liked the activity, they still did not know poetry characteristics. My teacher walked around the room and tried to help but she did seem a little confused. The Gen. Ed. teacher really shot her confidence for the day.
