During today's class we were given the opportunity to work on all assignments we needed to complete. Dr. Smirnova was available throughout this time to answer questions and clarify ideas. Ericka and I began working on all of the self-tests that aligned with our textbooks chapters. These self-tests were important for us to complete because they helped ensure that we had retained the content information from the class. After we had finished taking the self-tests, we began working on our third activity for the unit plan. We decided to create another direct instruction lesson plan to address information regarding the events leading up to the American Revolution: Activity #3.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING BREAK! I spent most of this break relaxing and enjoying time with my family. The remainder of my time was dedicated to completing assignments and catching up on work. I met up with my group mates, Alex and Ericka, to work on our LiveBinders. We were able to complete the "About Me," "My Philosophy for Teaching," "My Blog," "Professional Organizations," and "Social Studies Projects I am Proud of" tabs. We are well on our way to completing this professional online portfolio of work.
I enjoy using this online portfolio. I try to be eco-friendly as much as possible, and this would be a way to save paper by keeping all files online. I feel that this would be an important skill to teach students and future teachers because our society is becoming more and more technologically advanced and technology is becoming a major part of education.
