This week, I began my next unit and continued work on the biology board game in conceptual biology. Because I have been having trouble with my time management, I incorporated a little more flexibility into this current unit. I planned on doing less each day and I found several short activities and videos to do when there is time left over in class.
This week, I also began implementing my action research study. I completed a direct instruction lesson and a guided-inquiry based lesson and analyzed the students' engagement for both using a survey and a qualitative analysis. Unfortunately, this Friday was hectic, and I forgot to give the second survey to my 9th period class. In addition, I forgot to inform my 8th period class about their upcoming quiz on Tuesday. My mentor teacher said that I should still hold the quiz on Tuesday and to make sure I post it on their online class platform. I know that the students will be upset at learning about their quiz on Monday, and I am not sure yet how I'm going to handle this situation, especially since I know that it was my fault that they didn't know about their quiz before.
