1.2 field experience.

My host teacher, along with all of the other teachers at Chenango Bridge Elementary is using a smart board. One practice that have observed and I may incorporate into my teaching is using the smart board as a journal prompt in ELA. My host teacher either posts a video or picture on the smart board and the class uses that as their topic for the day. For example last week the teacher posted a picture of a dog and the class had to write their journal as if they were the dog for the day. I think this is a great way to get children motivated to write because it gives them a visual prompt, rather than one that is verbal or written.
