caz963So... I think I've finished my "to do" list for this weekend (at 4.45pm on Sunday afternoon!). Lesson plans for Yr 8 this week - I've got a class 1st thing Monday morning (ug!) and have had to change the plans over the weekend because all the class laptops are being updated. Sooo... had to think of something to keep a class of 25 12/13 year olds occupied for half an hour... not an easy task, but I think I've come up with something. I also have my first Yr10 class (GCSE) tomorrow, which I'm a bit nervous about... it's my head of dept's class normally, but I'll be taking it over eventually. I'm quite pleased with the lesson I've come up with - just hope I can get through it all.
Done my weekly journal entry - I rambled on for almost 4 pages! I knew the training year was going to be full of paperwork, and I don't think next year (assuming I make it that far) is going to be much better... but I guess I'm enjoying it so far. I like most of the kids in my classes (although there are a few horrors!), but the one thing about the profession which really bugs me is that I can't think of another profession where you are continually having to pull yourself to pieces and put yourself back together again. I mean, after every lesson, you have to take stock of what you did, what worked, what didn't, why it didn't, what you can do better next time - which, yeah, is all very well and good, but sometimes it's a bit disheartening. I mean, when you've given a lesson you think went pretty well, you've STILL got to find something you did wrong! grrr...
Well, I'm still learning, so I'd expect that, but I bet I'll be a bit more pissed off about it once I'm qualified...
