So this week for my CFE there is not a ton to say since it was a four day week, but that doesn't mean that there is nothing to say. This past week in my CFE the students wrote elegies and emotion poems. If you don't know what an elegy is it is pretty much a poem dedicated to something lost like a friendship, relationship, family member, etc., etc., you get the idea. Now elegies can get very personal, for example I wrote one inspired by someone in my life who tore me down that I have started to try to forget about for over two years, their memory still haunts me. The emotion poems were a little different. The students choose a random emotion and then tried to describe that emotion without using the name of the emotion in their poem. Now I didn't write one of these as an example for the class, but I did get to help the students try to write their poems which was quite fun. That is a synopsis of what I did in my CFE this week. Things are going great and my new employer is very great.

This week for my CFE I moved to yet another employer. Yes that is correct, I am now no longer with Mr. Gwozdz or Ms. Rabbitt, but with Ms. Dombrow another one of the wonderful teachers Lake Shore has to learn from. Honestly, yes I do miss my past employers, but I am happy with my new placement. During this first week of my new employment I have gotten to go with the students to the library to return books and not only write a poem to show the students, but show them how an AP Literature student like myself annotates poetry so that I can help them well they study poetry. I am enjoying getting into poetry with my new class because poetry is such a powerful thing and I could go on and on about all of this, but for sake of time I will keep this short, I am enjoying my new placement and am hopeful for the rest of the trimester. Now as you may or may not remember for the past two trimesters I had two different and successful goals with each employer. My first goal was to figure out if I like teaching which, yes, yes I do and the second was to build relationships with my students and seeing as how they all were begging me to come back when I stopped in the other day to drop something off I would say goal accomplished, now my new goal is to try and do examples of course work or come up with ideas for course work whenever I can...and so far that goal is looking like it will be accomplished seeing as how I have already started doing those things. I just hope I can stick with this goal with the assistance of my wonderful new employer, her weebly site and a new Pinterest board for ideas I have created. Stay tuned or even email my new employer at [email protected] for updates on my accomplishments throughout the trimester.
