Well, class was fun! I really liked the game we played lead by Mai and Kizuna. I thought it was creative and it appealed to each learning style. Also, the fact that the team I was on won makes it better too!
After the presentation we talked about learning disabilities and how it can affect a class and the teacher in the educational experience. I loved what Chris and Thea said about children of ADHD and that the worst thing a teacher can do is put that child in the front of the room. That makes so much sense to me. I know I will never be able to fully understand any of the learning disabilities but I think it helps to have teachers and fellow students explain their experiences with it.
We then broke into our groups to review our lesson plans and to teach a small 10 minute portion of the lesson. I cannot get over how creative my two partners were in this area! Also, they gave me very good advice and critiques about my lesson plan and I am so glad that they were able to help me improve the lesson.

I really want to read your lesson plan. Will you post it on here? Also, you know the word you have to type on here to prove you're not a robot? The one I have to type to leave this comment is "schlong". I think I've been laughing for at least a minute and a half now.
I also found the sharing about learning disabilities an eye-opening experience for me, since i had never thought i would deal with this issue as a language teacher, while in fact i may have to. Our responsibilities as a teacher would be much harder and more complicated then, but again this is one of the reasons that makes teaching a meaningful profession.
Also, i like your lesson plan, especially the color book you gave us! :)
