This week was enjoyable despite the fact that it was extremely chaotic due to the increase in the amount of work I had to complete, as well as my medical appointments here and there. However, it was exciting to be able to do new activities and continue to build relationships with students from various blocks while still learning. 

   In addition, towards the end of this week, I gave a presentation in Will Wamaru's African Studies class as well as the other classes. I learned some attributes about what constitutes a good presentation in terms of clothing, body language, and speaking abilities.  Making a presentation, especially in a professional setting, helped me analyze what I needed to work on and what I needed to do more of. 

   In conclusion, I continue to work on a unit to present at the human rights and Enigma of Russia class. I am really looking forward to the rest of my time at proctor and spending it with friends, teammates, and staff. Most importantly, making the best out of my last few days.

  My first block today, May 18, 2023, was African Studies. I proofread more student work and kept working on my Google slides for my presentation to the class tomorrow May 19. The topic of the symposium will be "Ethnicity in Africa." Will Wamaru wanted me to put together a slide due after the topic because I have had quite a few experiences being Nigerian, and he thought I would have more details about ethnicity since I am part of ethnic group in Nigeria. In addition, I attended the Human Rights class, next block where we continued watching documentaries related to the class, and I worked on proofreading student papers. I also visited Morgan Salathe's 9th grade class and taught the students what a block quotation is and how to make one, and we gave the students time to keep working on their papers. Three hours of class so far as of then. The last class of the day was the enigma of Russia with Jen. The students were left to design their postals and I helped some of them in

Today May 19, 2023 I went to my first block class which is Morgan Salathe’s  9th grade English class. For class,  we did a little field trip, and took the student down to the Library, and did some activities and left the student to continue working on their papers, and that was an hour of class time. I was free afterwards and had to finish working on my slides for African studies, and also get prepared for my presentation. Presentation skills is something I am  hoping to keep learning in the next phase of my life. That's why I knew being a teacher's assistant will serve as a resource with public speaking and also with communication skills. I spent 4 hours after my first block preparing, and also making sure I am offering my best work to the students. Finally finished with the slide, I got lunch then went back to my dorm to take a nap before the big presentation. In addition, I arrived in class and gave my presentation on the “ethnicity of Africa ''. I taught them about

  Journal 13 Today May 23, 2023 I attended my second block class which was the Human Rights Class. Due to the fact that the student final project will be due this week, Jen gave students the  opportunity to ask final questions, make adjustments, and to make sure the students got the rubrics down. I rendered my help to students as usual and that was an hour of class. The second class was Will Wamaru's class where I pretty much watched the students make presentations and show their passions for the project. In conclusion, today was kind of a chill day and much of observing the students.
