On Thursday I got to play the role of the teacher. The ignite talk was well structured and all the main points were talked about. Then I got to lead the activity part, and I was honestly pretty nervous at first because we didn't have a specific guideline to follow. As a group we planned out the activity but we decided to improvise when giving the instructions. The reason for this is because, as future teachers, we must understand that sometimes specific plans don't go as planned. We wanted to practice being able to think on our feet while speaking, and being able to include ideas or make changes according to our observations. Personally, this was a little challenging to me and confusing to the audience but as the activity evolved things began to fall into place. Overall, I am glad we had this opportunity to learn and to practice.
The group that went before us was also very well structured. Their ignite talk was very informative and went smoothly. I also really enjoyed their activity because it is something that I can definitely see me using in my classroom. It is fun and it gets the audience to work as a group and create their own poem. This can be really creative and you can use it for any age group, from k-12.
