Day 27 prepared or unprepared 1/27/14

Today at school we were given as much time as needed to work on our lesson planning. In fact, Moz didn't do any instructing because he wanted us to be completely prepared for teaching. He told us that when we were done with our lessons, we would present them to each other, and be dismissed for the day. All of us had lessons prepared for us, on the topic we were assigned, by the teacher we were subbing for. The only thing was, we had the freedom to present the material in any way we wanted, as long as the students were able to complete the provided worksheet by the end of class. Nick did most of his lesson over the weekend, but still had some finishing touches to do. Ryan and I were just beginning to start ours, and Jeff claimed to have done his over the weekend as well. The first few hours of class Ryan and I spent, making flashcards, coming up with fun games, and creating props for learning tools. During this time Jeff huffed and puffed about us working on our lesson, and kept looking at his watch. He was so anxious to get out of there. He asked Moz if we could present our lessons, even though Ryan and I weren't finished. Moz asked us how we felt, and we said that we could present what we had planned, even though our materials were still in the process of being made. Nick presented first. He did a thorough job with covering the lesson, and came up with good interactive activities. Ryan went next, presenting his in depth, and I followed. Jeff went last.We were all shocked when he had nothing planned. Here he was pressuring all of us to finish our lessons, so he could leave school early, yet he didn't have anything completed.He read the vocab words he was going to teach , and said he had an activity to go with it. But when Moz asked him to elaborate, he couldn't. All of us had two different grade levels, and were given different lessons for each. When Jeff presented,  he presented his sixth grade lesson.  Moz asked him what he had planned for his third graders, and  he responded with, "basically the same lesson". The energy in the room changed, as everyone felt the expression of extreme annoyance on Moz's face. I couldnt believe he was rushing all of us to finish our lessons, when he had nothing done himself. Despite Jeff not being prepared, Moz let all of us go for the day. After school Ryan and I dedicated the rest of our day to practicing our lessons. We went to bed early to ensure a good nights sleep for our first full day of teaching tomorrow.
