ESAL 0370 Reading Lab Lesson Plan – Hour 7
I think this lesson was a success, however, the lesson did not really involve teaching any new skills – rather, it was more of a review and practice session from what was learned last week.
Despite the lack of new teaching material, I still ended up taking a long time going over the reviewed material by explaining slowly. I may have even been showing some redundancies to my explanations. I suppose I do it to make sure the students understand what they are expected to do – I prefer to be precise with my choice of words than to speak quickly before I think about what I want to say. At the same time, I am worried that my slow speech causes them to lose interest and disengage from the class.
It would be nice to see my brain process my thinking into words faster without sacrificing precision. I will try to speak faster and hope my brain catches up to me in day-to-day conversations to try and remedy this problem.
