Orienteering Lesson (Lab C)

On Monday November 3rd I taught my first Orienteering lesson. For this I taught my students how to use a compass and how to navigate themselves around the gymnasium. I really enjoyed teaching this task but I found it hard to complete everything in the allotted 7 minutes that I had. Because we had to work with a partner we only got about 7 minutes each. When I taught my lesson I taught for about 10 minutes alone. It was a lot harder to get the task in in that short amount of time. Because I had such a short time to teach the lesson my timecoding form was far off what it should have been because there had to be so much instruction. The students took a little bit longer to understand how to use a compass than i expected which made my lesson go longer then it was suppose to. Going to each person it did make it easier to give feedback to the students. I thought that with my whole lesson I did the best that I could do in that situation. I would definitely teach orienteering to my students when i teach in the future.
