Provide a journal summary of five weeks of your teaching practicals where you shade in some of your graphic representations about things you found challenging,exciting,interesting, or new experience?

Week 1: This week was my first week of teaching practicals and I was excited but also nervous. I found it challenging to manage the classroom and keep the students engaged. However, I also found it exciting to see the students' enthusiasm for learning.

Week 2: In week 2, I focused on lesson planning and incorporating different teaching strategies. I found it interesting to see how different students responded to different teaching methods. I also found it challenging to adapt my lesson plans on the spot when things didn't go as planned.

Week 3: This week, I had the opportunity to observe a more experienced teacher and learn from their techniques. I found it exciting to see how they managed the classroom and kept the students engaged. I also found it challenging to implement some of their strategies in my own teaching.

Week 4: In week 4, I tried incorporating technology into my lessons and found it to be both exciting and challenging. I enjoyed seeing how engaged the students were with the technology, but I also struggled with technical difficulties and ensuring that all students had access to the technology.

Week 5: This week, I focused on assessment and feedback. I found it interesting to see how different students responded to feedback and how it impacted their learning. I also found it challenging to provide meaningful feedback to each student while also managing my time effectively.
