JOURNAL 1 “I am really excited that things turned out better than I

ever hoped they would. However it is time to reflect on what I did. I think that I try to much to say everything my CT says to her other students. However I do try to say it in my own words so that it wont sound rehearsed. The problem with this is that I forget somethings that I am suppose to mention and in the process of trying to remember them during class, I start saying something to the class and often have to stop and ask my CT "What did you want the students to remember about this?"

JOURNAL 2 “Something that I feel I need to improve at this
