Shinny - Round Two

Being my second time teaching I was more confident in what I was doing and really wanted to get into a game like situation of “ shinny” which I thought went very well. Professor Yang threw a curve ball at me and when I had my back turned two of the girls in the class got into a fight. I learned during this lesson that I need to keep my back to the wall and not my students with two games going on I should have had my back to the bleachers and been aware of everything going on around me and I would have caught the fight a lot sooner then what I did. When filling out my time coding form I realized this time I had my peers waiting around for 30 seconds for me to give them the ball. I should have had the ball already prepared in the court so they weren’t just standing around waiting for me to give them the ball. I feel like I do a good job on giving instructions and getting them right involved in an activity. Most of the time spent was doing activity.

Giving Feedback

Personally, I was very shocked on how much feedback I gave to my peers during my lesson because when I was doing the lesson I felt that I wasn’t giving any. I gave both skill related feedback and behavior feedback. For example when Nick and Jason where both lined up the way I wanted them to be I demonstrated them to the class and told them good job. I also used negative feedback to Melissa when she was dribbling. She really didn’t have that much control of the ball and I told her to get more into her ready position then standing straight up. I think I when giving feedback I should also watch and give it to more girls, I tended to give a lot of feedback to the guys.

China Lab C- Transcription

When first being told about the China lab I was nervous and didn’t know what to expect out of the games we had to choose from. Like the Chinese games they are very similar to the American games that we play. I was also more nervous for this lesson because I was going to have to teach for seven minutes, which felt like the longest seven minutes of my life. Before the lesson I had the perfect introduction in my head that when I got up there I forgot everything I was going to say. I noticed that I tend to say “all right” too many times and I tend to say so if everyone can a lot too. I think hearing myself on the mp3 players makes me want to work harder on the way I project myself to the class. When listening to myself I found that my directions were not very clear at all and my peers were confused with my directions, and I switched from saying hockey to field hockey when talking about shinney. One postive to my lab was my feedback. I feel that I give good feedback even though its just a simple good job. I hope in the next attempt at lab c I really concentrate on not saying “ all right” and “ so if you can” to many times.

LAB B TRANSCRIPTION

My voice tone dramatically changed from the first lab to the second. You can notice in my voice that I become much more confident in what I was saying and I had total confidence over all. When doing my transcription I noticed that I repeated myself way to much, and I said the same thing over and over again. Also I said "you guys" a lot instead of referring to the student's by their actually name. I said alright three or four times, but I didn't say umm this time and I sounded like I knew what I was talking about. I was impressed in my tone of voice change, and how over all I felt more confident in myself and it showed it my voice.

LAB 2A

Time Coding

When reviewing my video I noticed that I had my students engaged in activity for the majority of the three minutes. I think I could have done a better job at giving instructions and explaining the different types of dribbling skills we were going to work on. When I changed each dribbling task,  I took around 10 seconds to explain what the new task was going to be. When figuring out my percents my management time was under 15%, activity time was more then 50%, and my instruction time was less then 30%. I fell into all of those percents, but I still feel that I was not that clear on my instructions and I could have done a better job teaching and explaining.
