8. Teacher Reflection-
This flopped completely due to technological difficulties. It actually only worked for two class periods. 5th period we had to rely on the myth itself instead of watching the building film clips. For 6th we had a student oral presentation to compensate for the technological difficulties of two laptops not working not the TV! Finally, a student was able in 6th period to get the TV version of the clips to play. I don't know what happened but it certainly through me for a loop. I was able to get through some of the GO with students on the board but I was so flustered that I spelled some words wrong! What a manic Monday! Tomorrow I will be out and Wednesday I will have to start reading Pygmalion even though I haven't built up the knowledge base as well as I should. I am pressed for time since I have to have this play read by Christmas Break and the projects "Changing Archetypes" Role playing EA completed as well as Semester Exam review!
