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 the origin, and various ethnic groups in Nigeria and Africa as a whole. It was a successful one and some of the students gave me good reviews and expressed how they loved it. The presentation took 45 mins of class, and towards the end, Will Wawaru gave the student options on either working on their projects or going to the dinner hall with the 15 mins of class left to grab a snack. I stayed just to see if any student needed help with their work. In total, today was a bit more work than usual. I got 6 hours in today.
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
