Micro-Teach Planning

Today I discussed subject and topic ideas for my micro-teach that is coming up on October 19th. My associate teacher and I discussed several ideas which included: math, drama, and phys-ed (healthy eating). After looking through textbooks and considering her long range plans we decided on the healthy eating component of the phys-ed curriculum. Initially I was a little nervous about trying to teach this topic as I tend to feel more comfortable with math and science; however, after discussing some of the curriculum expectations, and activity ideas (both mine and hers), I suddenly became quite excited and realize this could be a lot of fun! When I came home today, I did some research online with the Canadian Good Guide website, thought of some great visual ideas that I hope will enhance my lesson plan.... but I will leave it at that and not spoil the surprise for my peers and counselors.
