My first biology practicum
I thought I would blog of the actual course topics this week because I was able to visit my last practicum school on Friday. My first two practicums have both been chemistry, which is probably a good thing as that is my weaker subject so a little practice is always good. However, I am definitely looking forward to teaching biology this time (well and grade 9 electricity... Yikes!).
I will be able to teach grade 11 college biology for their microbiology unit and grade 12 university for the evolution unit. I have been told that teaching the evolution unit will be a little interesting as the student population is very religious so its actually a good idea to include a little info on creationism too. So its going to be an interesting practicum. For the first time I will get to teach my lessons more than once which I am also excited about. I am looking forward to trying to improve a lesson between its 'first' and 'second' runs as I think that will be an excellent experience. So all in all, it looks like a great final practicum where I will get to teach in my preferred subject so it will no doubt be lots of fun!
