I thoroughly enjoyed the Harriet Tubman activity in class tonight. When we were given the rate your knowledge sheet, I felt almost like our lesson was backwards in a sense. I liked the lesson that we participated in as well as the one we observed in the video because it seemed so different than the social studies lessons I was used to in school. I think it was very useful discussing the vocabulary of the lesson prior to diving into the meat of the topic. Front loading is so important! I was intrigued when each group was asked to pick three words that best fit together and each group picked different words. Overall, the timeline of the lesson was really interesting and new to me but it flowed really well. The progression from the vocabulary to discussion to the reading was really fluid and even helped boost my knowledge of the subject! It was also nice to be able to see a teacher actively teaching the lesson.
