Thursday - Week 2


 5/18

Hours today - 4 10 mins

Hours Total - 40 hours and 40 mins


I only had C block today during the second to last class. We met in the projection room again to use the arts and crafts supplies. It seems like everyone in C block now has a good idea of what they want to do for their projects. I mostly just sat in the back and occasionally helped people find things because they all seemed good on their own. I met with Ellie after during E block on the library to go over the grades for the essays. She had reviewed A blocks essays and had some revisions and questions before we published the grades. I had finished all except for three of C blocks so we went over those. I found it much easier to add more feedback this time. We decided I would have extra help in the Fowler common room today, tomorrow, and Monday since Ellie won’t have another extra help before the capstone is due. I wasn’t expecting anyone to show up but towards the end there were about five people. It ended up going longer than the original one hour time period we had established before. Then I did the last three essays in about forty minutes.

Day 1

  5/8 - 6:43 PM Total Hours - 3 I started the day by meeting Ellie at the dining commons to discuss my plans for senior project and what the classes will be doing for the next week. Then we went to the bookstore to get a copy of Born a Crime which is what the ninth graders are reading now. This took about 30 minutes. We met for her class during A block where they had a Harkness discussion so I observed that. We discussed the Harkness after class and this all took an hour and ten minutes. I went to my afternoon activity doing costumes for two hours. Then I spent an hour and twenty minutes grading homework. Ellie’s dog got into a fight with a porcupine so I did the two different homework assignments we discussed.

Week 1 Reflection

  Weekly Reflection Throughout this week, I attended Ellie Moore’s two English 9 classes as a teaching assistant. I got a total of 24 hours and 25 minutes of work for my senior project. Most of the time was spent grading and listening to the audiobook of Born a Crime by Trevor Noah. I needed to read the book because it was what the essay they were writing was on. I normally prefer reading to audiobooks but Ellie had high praise for the audiobook and I like Trevor Noah so I chose to listen to it instead. What I enjoyed the most was class time and interacting with the students. I felt like I got to know them more and connect with them this week which was one of my main concerns. One of the first things that I learned was how missing a lot of sixth and seventh grade due to covid impacted the class of ‘26. Those two years are really critical to developing a lot of the skills used in school like writing. It took me some time to better understand where the grade is at in terms of their w

 5/10               Total Hours - 4 1/2           Weekly Total - 13 hours and 25 mins I spent most of my day at the theater helping with Ada and the Engine today. Ellie didn't have any classes today so I had more free time. I started the day by finishing grading the essay outlines and continuing the Path of Life Garden assignments. Then, I went to the theater and put stickers on my sewing machine which I've been meaning to do for a while. I spent a few hours working on the headpiece for Ada's court debut. Lillian Holley was there too for her senior project and we took Mosely for a walk. He was a very good boy. I spent the afternoon helping the cast get ready for the show. Then I went back to my dorm and did some more grading. I read Born a Crime for 2 hours.
