Only 3 Weeks Left!

Honestly the time is just flying by. I have been meaning to check on my blog and get things back up to date. I looked and I only posted about my first week in my primary internship and now there is just three weeks left. As of now I can't go back and say how each week was because so much time as pass that I don't remember. 

Everything has been well. Just lots of things have been happening. My last post was about my portfolio defense and that consumed me for a week. I was constantly working on my portfolio and getting prepared for what I was going to say. Now I have taken over more in the classroom and I have been bust preparing for all of that. 

After next week things should slow down because I will be giving subjects back to my mentor and will not have as much to do. 

Portfolio Defense

First off, sorry I have not been posting like I should have been and after you read this then you will understand why I have been busy. I will try and and get caught up on my posts this weekend. So look for those popping up and they will be dated when they should have gone up. 

Anyways....at my college we have to make a portfolio related to the InTASC Standards and these might be just for my state I don't know, but I do know it's not really something you need to know. Both my mentors have only heard of them through the interns. 

I had to create the portfolio with over 33 artifacts from throughout my internships. I mostly had lesson plans that I had to type up. Also for each reflection we had to write a one page reflection about what it was and why it related to that artifact. 

All in all, this whole thing was very time consuming. I also had to defend my portfolio against the professors and this determined weather or not I could graduate. Proud to say that I will be graduating. Phew. 

I was nervous the night of my defense because one of the girls failed and they had said it was rare for someone to not pass and then it happened on the very first night.
