I’m curious to see how this course will progress. I love history, but I haven’t had much luck with social studies teachers in the past. I never found my classes engaging and always noticed that my teachers did not seem passionate about the past or how to teach it. I’m hoping to learn how to become a knowledgable social studies teacher that makes learning fun for my students. One hope I have for myself is that I can remain positive this semester and make the most out of my classes. One thing I’ve struggled with is feeling burned out after a full day of work and back to back night classes. I just have to remind myself that this is just one more step on the path towards my goal of becoming a teacher. I just hope I can learn more techniques about how to teach social studies to children and get useful feedback. Although I’m nervous, I’m excited for this semester to begin!
