I had trouble deciding what internship I wanted to take. I could have done a somewhat unfullfilling job at another company, but I'm not interested in taking this opportunity to use any artistic talent I may have to touch up celebrity photos. Something about that just isn't my style right now.

When I decided to take the internship at my old middle school, I'm not really sure exactly what I wanted to get out of this. I know that teaching has always been something I may want to do with my life. I k new that Mr. Cohen affected the way I read and essentially think.

Today, I sat in on a few classes and talked to Mr. Cohen about what the general plan for my internship is. As in class, learning in this classroom will be expectedly be unorthodox and unique. One idea that may be really useful is the idea that Mr. Cohen proposed to create a study of the way he teaches and the way his mentee teaches. The plan is to study and self-study thw way a teacher instructs and the way a classroom moves, and to communicate the thoughts that come with that to one another.

I also got to sit in on a meeting with my mentor and a teacher he is currently mentoring. She's new at teaching so she asks about teaching methods and decisions. We are all going to work together. I ddin't realize how muc hidden insecurity there is in a first year or inexperienced teacher.
