Wednesday I taped the first lesson I taught at my dyad placement. It was a math lesson comparing linear and nonlinear relationships. I didn’t want to jump to the obvious, but I am afraid I’m going to if I were brave enough to show you my video you would see how the camera added like 3 inches to my nose. I clearly had a fake nose glued on ;) I mean there is no way that the nose I saw in the video is the same nose I look at every day! Come to think of it, my voice didn’t sound like my voice either; well, at least not the voice I hear in the shower or car when I am singing. The voice on the video sounded an awful lot like my mother’s voice. I’m starting to think that maybe my mother was teaching the lesson or some evil Halloween spirit took over my body.
All the laughs aside, this is my reflection after watching my video the first time and I now understand why my professor said not to write a reflection until after watching the video multiple times. I took my professors advice to wait to write a true reflection of my video.
Stay tuned for a Halloween treat!
Now you see why we are all afraid of you:) Good stuff Tessa!!
ReplyDeleteSince we are taking a lit class, I would like to introduce you to a famous lit character with a big nose: Cyrano de Bergerac. Gerard Depardieu plays the lead role and it is probably the most romantic roles in French film. Now, I am not saying that you have a big nose, nor am I saying that you are a romantic role model, but what I am saying is that Cyrano had a huge (no pun intended) impact on my love of the French language. (The American version is called Roxanne with Steve Martin.) So, the story: Cyrano writes these amazing poems and letters for a man who has trouble with words and he gives them to his love interest. I don’t want to give too much away, but the ending is different in the French film. (Tissues please.)
ReplyDeleteI still need to watch my tape and I am curious to how I’ll look. If the camera adds pounds, I hope it adds it to the right place, if you know what I mean. But seriously, I think that this will be a great experience for us, to see our little “ticks”, and see what we really are good at. We are our worst critics, but why can’t we like at least one thing that we do? What are two things that you thought you did a good job at? Now that your reflection is done, what do you think of the experience? Did you find it useful? Would you do it again?
After all that babble, what I wanted to say is that you may be their Cyrano – you may be giving them a love for math!
