While fulfilling the practicum requirement for my master degree in Education I had the opportunity to be a substitute teacher for one of the University's ESL classes for matriculated students.  This was my opportunity to teach ESL writing and composition at University level in the United States, not part of an institute.

Part of this requirement involved lesson planning cooperatively with supervising teachers, and also reflecting on the experience in journals.

This first document is the evaluation written by the professor of the course when she observed me teaching this class.

After my teaching of the class I was to reflect on the class through journal writing before meeting with the professor to conference.

After conferencing and receiving feedback I was to reflect on the general experience of being observed by a supervisor, how it made me feel, how I reacted to her comments and how it might change my teaching.
