Jeremia Alexander reflects on their teaching practicum observations from February 7th. They tried to motivate students to write an essay about their helper by showing videos connecting helpers to the class novel and discussing how all humans are created equally in God's image. However, motivating students intrinsically was challenging. Classroom management also needs improvement, as students were not always quiet during work time. Going forward, Jeremia realizes the importance of being more authoritative to better manage the class.

I prepared my helpers. I also was expecting that students will see students by reminding them the video helpers differently when I talked about a Bible about the helpers sacrifice I showed verse (Genesis 1:27) because the Bible should be them on last Friday (Day 5) and our the highest authority that students must respect. I discussion about human beings created in remember in Introduction to Education class that the image of God.
