HOW DID THE DISCUSSION ACTIVITY GO?

THE DISCUSSION ACTIVITY DID NOT GO AS PLANNED. WHEN I WROTE IT, I FELT THAT THE QUESTIONS WERE
GOOD. WHEN I ACTUALLY DISCUSSED THEM WITH THE STUDENTS, THIS DID NOT PROVE TRUE. THEY
SEEMED TO BE TOO SIMILAR TO EACH OTHER. WHEN DOING THIS AGAIN IN THE FUTURE, I WILL MAKE SURE
THAT THE QUESTIONS I WRITE ARE BETTER.

How was your first Economics lesson?

It did not go terribly. The students seemed to be engaged and would also ask questions. I
felt much more prepared to teach Economics after I had to take over for a Co-op for a few
days a month or so back.
