Another week. Already. So crazy. Seriously, time is just flying by. Between being tired, and never feeling prepared, I plug forward and presented a lesson to the kids in the Vet Science class. Shouldn't be a big deal, as I totally worked in an animal hospital for 6 years, except that right now we're working on preparing for the livestock judging contest that will be in like, two weeks. This is one subject that I literally know nothing about. But thankfully I have been able to go over and through some old power points and look up stuff a lot online and watch videos of oral reasons and look and compare class after class after class, and think over and over again about the livestock judging contest back at state fair. I also put together another handout for the kids to show them how to take good notes to help them assemble their oral reasons. It's been a lot of work, but it's really interesting, and it's really pulled in the concept from college where they say you need to know a topic well enough for an exam that you can even teach it to someone else, so I really have to detail stuff, but it's really helped me realize that I don't need to be perfect in the way I say things, just keep it conversational with the students so that I'm talking with them instead of at them.
