NY Teaching Fellowship update!

Hey girls. so, thank you all for keeping me in your prayers...I am advancing to the interview process of the teaching fellowship...they must have loved my application! yay. so, I am not sure how many people advance, but I am pretty excited.

So, I have to come up with a simple sample lesson...they give an example of difference between similes and metaphors and I have about 5 mins...super easy, but I thought maybe you guys might have fun ideas since you are the experts...any tips would be appreciated. I think I am going to schedule my interview for either the 29th or the 30th of this month...the other dates are too soon!

OK. well, love you all and i will talk to you soon.

Hey Carissa! I'm so exctied for you! Do you want an art lesson plan? If so, I have a couple of really good ones. One that I had last year that the kids liked was I read a "journal entry" from a soldier that crossed the Delaware River with Washington from Emanuel Leutz's painting. (the big one in the Met.) I then gave the kids a copy of the picture and it was "an Art History Mystery" and they had to use the clues in the journal to find all of the mistakes that the author made in the painting. (there are a lot of them) It could be a history lesson as well. If that one doesn't work- I have a bunch more. let me know!
