During high school, I took three biology classes. When I saw that I needed to take “Biology for the Teaching Profession,” I wasn’t exactly excited to be adding a fourth biology course to my list. However, I was surprised how professor Lehman related the content to the teaching profession. Although most of the content wasn’t exactly new for me, I still learned a lot from this class. We would learn about a topic, and then we would have a project or an assignment that required us to take our knowledge and create an elementary school lesson out of it. This allowed me to think outside of the box and connect the content with something I was passionate about.
One of our assignments was to choose an SOL standard that related to the topics we had learned and write about how we would teach a lesson with that information. Since I want to teach elementary school, this lesson is created for elementary students. I included examples of what kind of activities I would have the students do and what materials would be needed for these activities. It was fun and interesting to think about how I could apply information I learned in college to an elementary atmosphere.
