Lessons
You will create a lesson that you can use while cadet teaching. Here are some
ideas:
Vocabulary games
Reading games: fill in the blank, unscramble the words
Math facts: Simply knowing times tables
Spelling Games
You could maybe use apps on the iPads, but you have to research what
apps work best and are easy to install and work with.
In other words, how will you teach lessons to your students while in cadet
teaching?
