Hi everyone, I just need some teaching advice, please. I've started at an elementary school and I'm taking years 4 and 6 with two different co-teachers. I also have a speaking class with the same fourth graders. I haven't been told it's a speaking class, I just assume it is! I have been lucky enough to take over from someone who is good at their job, but it means that I'm not really being checked on much. I have, however, been asked for a curriculum and I'm not really sure if it's going in the right direction. Could someone please take a look at what I have already and let me know if it's getting there? What should I add or change about it so when I show my bosses they don't think I'm a complete idiot? (I'm not, thankfully, but I have never taught before). Note: I've already planned and taught the first lesson and while there were certainly mishaps, everything went okay for the most part).
Also, as you can see, I'm having trouble finishing it... Can anyone help? Please?
