Hedrick Middle School 5/15/2012

Teaching math today! I had enjoyable day until 6th period. The students in that class talked more than any other class I have ever been in. I couldn't get the students to listen to directions or listen to anything for more than a minute. What I learned from that experience was that I need to be extremely brief with directions and lessons for that period. Also, entertainment and motivational speech is needed to get those students to be engaged. If I'm ever to teach a class period such as that one I will most likely come full game. --Mr. Belzberg
