After class on Friday, I finally got home through all the snow and started working on my portfolio. While I still don't have my resume part finished, I did get some more things organized and that makes me feel a little better about it. I know that time and experience will make our portfolios better but for now it just seems a little meager.
Started discussing chapter thirteen in the blue book. Some of the topics so far are on educational interpreting. And yet again, the more we discuss things for this setting, the more questions arise. There are so many different situations that can occur in a classroom setting and it's hard to know what we would do in those situations. Even something as simple as where to stand can be a complicated decision. And again, we are reminded that we should not be in a really young classroom if we're not skilled. Kids need all the language models they can and a less skilled interpreter with limited vocabulary is only detrimental to their learning.
We watched another video today to voice. I realized that in the end, if I had the chance to watch everything twice, I would get the majority of the information. However, when in real life are we ever going to be able to watch everything twice? Never. Sometimes I think I focus too much and don't let it come as natural as it should and sometimes does. I'm glad though that we're still learning things every day. One thing learned today: teepee. How simple and yet complex is that?
