Before the Video

As I was thinking about my lesson that was to be observed and video taped I felt nervous. I thought I was nervous during my first observed lesson, now this one would not only be observed but also video tapped. I knew that camera would give me chills. I already got nervous even when a teacher observed me. There would be three other pair of adult eyes along with twenty one students observing me plus, the rest of the people that would be watching my video. Talk about pressure! I made a plan to be prepared, I worked on my lesson a week before, fixed it to the point I wanted it to be in and gathered my materials all in a timey manner. I knew my students would not be a problem; they are all very respectful and attentive.
