Well, the semester is beginning to come to a taper and I have never been so busy in my entire life; however it is not all bad. While I have been spending overnights on projects and hours of my daily life studying, I got to attend the peer mentor retreat on this previous Sunday. It was actually a very effective day because we all met hours before the retreat to finish up filming for our digital storytelling project. Next we went right into the retreat, which I have to admit I was not necessarily looking forward to since I had so many projects nearing a due date, but the retreat was a really good refresher and break from all the havoc and it was actually very helpful.
We got to discuss a lot about our lesson planning, give us more of a format/layout to go off of which will be helpful in writing the final lessons for our portfolios. We also spent a great deal of time discussing the content areas we will be teaching, and got to share and discuss ideas we all had for how we would do so. I got so many great ideas from everyone and even came up with a few of my own that are not too shabby. I am looking forward to implementing our ideas with our students.

I though the retreat was a great brainstorming opportunity to come up with some great ideas.
ReplyDeleteLauren- It's good to see you enjoyed the retreat! Peer mentors are usually very busy (but very awesome) people. You will probably be this busy next fall too! :)
