My practicum teacher made a deal with me that I could teach the China unit when Dr. Faulkner was there if I would be willing to do a unit on Mohenjo-Daro. He said that Mohenjo-Daro is the most boring lesson ever so he'll do me a favor if I do him a favor. So I made my lesson plan. I am doing a PowerPoint with guided notes and watching a short video. Then the kids have to use play-doh (thanks for the idea during the microteaching!) to make an artifact we use today and tell me how that would give future archeologists clues into our daily living habits.
My teacher loved it so now I'm doing that for Dr. Faulkner. I am really nervous but I hope it goes ok. I've still not done a single lesson in front of this group so it'll be my first time but they seem like a good group of kids.

I'm glad to hear that your teacher is willing to compromise with you and is flexible. My teacher doesn't give me many options or flexiblity when planning for my lessons and it can be quite frustrating at times. I hope that you continue to have a successful and meaningful experience.
