I couldn't sleep last night. It had more to do with the large Coke I downed in fifteen minutes last night than anything, but do you know what was running through my mind as I tried to fall asleep? Lesson plans.
At 10:30pm, 11:30pm, and past midnight I was thinking about lesson plans! I had given a lesson to my peers in a college class that night, hence the Coke, and I was obsessing over perfecting the plan to use with my seventh graders. I thought of how it could be used in a unit, where it could be used in a unit, and how effective it could be. I thought of different ways to implement my lesson and different students I would anticipate participating.
And though my mind was racing long after my self-prescribed bedtime, I enjoyed it. I enjoyed being excited by my work and the impact I foresee my efforts having in the future. As if further proof were necessary, I feel yet again confirmed that I am meant to be a teacher.
