A lotta labor for little reward

A lotta labor for little reward
The lesson plan, the dreaded task that all beginning education majors can wait forever to start. My literacy class this semester has assigned a lesson plan based around a book we read in class, we are suppose to create a lesson for a fifth grade class involving the text and a metacognative reading strategy. Let’s just say that I was more willing to stand out in the rain to write this lesson plan. I wanted to start early but failed at that, I started working on it two days before it was due, early for me but I was still uncomfortable with the time frame. The example we were given in class was over fifth teen pages, just the concept of writing about a book I didn’t much like and about a lesson I created yet didn’t quite understand was not to appealing . How was I going to do this?
My solution, I locked myself into the spare bedroom in my house, it only has a desk, white walls and a old mattress. Nothing to appealing other than writing the plane. I spread my papers all over the floor and for about an hour just looked at one and put it back down then another and repeat. I was trying to wrap my mind around what I was trying to get across in my lesson but was having a hard time figuring out how to accomplish it. Finally it hit me, I figured out how to write this dreadful piece, I stopped thinking so much and just wrote out what came to mind. Well it worked after about ten hours, many broken pencils, a box of cereal, and kick in the pants from my roommate I finished it.
Don’t worry I went back later and made sure it all made sense, but let’s not dwell on the fact that it was done before the rest of my class even started, ha.
