What was successful: My economics class this morning was successful because of the grace of God. :) I gave them a preassessment which was a good refresher of prior knowledge. It created a good platform to scaffold vocabulary for today's lesson. I lectured from power point and gave great examples during the lecture for the students to understand. At the end of the lesson, I had them write an "Exit Ticket"- 3 things they learned today in class. I get really excited when I'm teaching and I don't think these kids take me serious. ;)

What can I improve: At the beginning of my time here I had no idea how to plan material for these students because I did not know what level they are functioning at. SO, the work I assigned at that point is far above what they are capable of. So I need to make repairs and give assignments that are more suitable for their abilities at this point.

Suggestions from my mentor teacher: My teacher suggested that I make a folder of all the work I have assigned for the students for Economics to complete so that they can keep it all together.

Ideas for future lessons: For the future I would like to add more pictures to the power point and give more examples that are applicable to their lives.
