Last week went well as I was able to spend a ton of time with the students. I worked with them individually, which I particularly like and also address them as a whole class during different points of instruction. It seems that my co-operating teacher and I get along very well and are able to communicate effectively. Especially after this past week of discussing what I would be teaching for my upcoming observation.
I have done some research through the 2 given school text books and several outside resource books- anthropology books that give many visuals, to come up with the material to cover and provide for Thursday. Since this is an introduction to civilization through exploring Sumer, there are about 7 or so vocabulary words to cover along with how to distinguish a civilization.
What I really hate about developing a lesson plan is that I can't stop obsessing about it. I initially feel I have a really cool lesson, but the more I work with it and on it, the less fun and interresting and even worthwhile the lesson seems. Anybody else have that problem? I will be teaching this lesson twice on Thursday, so wish me luck!

I agree that the more I work on my lessons the less they look interesting. I think that we look and rack our brains to much trying to make the the lessons fun and ineresting.
