Interview

I got the interview with Teach for America that I had wanted! Celebrate good times, come on!

So pumped - but now I have to prepare for it: a 5 minute lesson on whatever subject or grade I choose, a personal and group interview, a problem solving time, and an essay. Whew - no wonder they take 10 hours! (well for all of the personal interviews, too, so not really that much time)

I'm thinking about doing French for 2/3 graders - you know, right and left foot, right and left hand, and then play a game of Simon Says. But Mom worries that this wouldn't show enough depth. I'm also trying to think of a highschool history lesson that would only take five minutes and would also show how I want there to be interaction between the class and teacher. So, very tough assignment, though I think I'm going to have fun with it.

The interview is at the Union, here in Norman (thank goodness), so I don't have to drive anywhere or miss any class (sigh - perhaps this isn't the best!). Home environment, able to get lots of sleep and eat well: definitely a bonus.

Oh, and great news - they are opening up positions in Dallas and Austin, my two favorite picks for cities, so I may get all of my dreams coming true in one fell swoop - all I need now is the husband!
