In my senior placement, I got the lead the phonics lesson early on. This was great for me because I had to think on my feet and teach something that I had not planned.
This artifact is important to me becasue I did not know I was going to be actually teaching the class this day, my clinical instructor trusted me to lead the phonics lesson on my own. I got to see what it is like to do phonics my own way and I made sure all of the studetns were listening and participating in the lesson.
