No official FFA activities today, so last night I took off for Portland to spend the weekend with my sister and her housemates, go to the most awesome church in the world, and work on lesson plans. Working on lesson plans is an endless up hill battle. Needless to say, I’m continuously stressed to the point of distress – which is a stressful thought in itself. On the up-side though, I will have to say that I feel better about putting together my lesson plans than I have before, even though every single cell of me doesn't want to work on them at all, I will muster up all my energy and work on them.


I'm trying to think of some creative ways to talk about topics in class... maybe outrageous, but more interesting - and ways that are my own. I'm finding that I've spend a lot of the last week just mimicking the cooperating teachers here. It's not a bad thing, I suppose, but really isn't a good thing either. But what really IS my teaching style? How DO I really present things that not only cater to all learning styles, but ALSO present it in an interesting and engaging manner?
