Week 4!

 Hello Blog!

    We are back for another week! This was a very fun week for my internship! Every week, I feel a lot more confident with my work and settled into a routine. I built off of the work I did last week and started making a rough rough draft of education lesson plans. I did the bulk of this work on Monday, and it did take quite a bit of time. I did find it very enjoyable. I got to more formally organize my ideas and get a better picture of what I want to do and how I want these lesson plans to be written out and applied to the classroom. I got the chance to reflect on and build off of work that I had already done. 

    These rough drafts were kinda rough. It took a lot longer for me to put the ideas I had into more formal text and see the outline. I also got to see how it applied to the museum tour, so it gave me a better idea of what I wanted to do. So Monday was outlining certain ideas I did have and putting it into more formal text, and Wednesday I shadowed the Civics and Government Tour. Since I am helping the center develop lesson plans related to this topic, it gave me a better idea as to what I wanted to write in these lesson plans and how they applied to the museum tour. So after the tour, I was able to revise and edit ideas I had already come up with and talk about working more in-depth with my project. Now that I have most of the information I need to begin, next week I am going to begin more formally working on my semester long project. 

    I am very excited to begin working on my project in more detail. Working on the rough draft made me realize how hard this can be, and I have a new perspective when it comes to education and lesson plans. They are a lot more complicated than they look, but I feel very prepared for my project and I am excited to dive deeper and immerse myself in it. I am also excited for the chance that my ideas can be used to help educate kids (middle and high schoolers) on a subject that I really like and feel passionate about, and it be done in a fun and engaging way. 

See you next week, 

Sabrina A.

Week 1 Introductory Assignment

 Good Afternoon Reader! My name is Sabrina Aran and I am a current sophomore here at UCF. I am currently taking Legal Studies, History, and Political Science courses at the university. On Monday, I will begin my History Education Internship and I am very excited. I hope to learn more about history education and making lesson plans. I think it will be a different and great experience that will help me explore my interests more, especially in the field of education and Florida history!  Farewell,  Sabrina A.

Week 2 Post!

 Hello!!!!      This was my first week at the office! It was a really cool but slightly overwhelming experience. I went over what I would be specifically working on and got to see the history center. Monday, my first day, I met the team and shadowed a field trip. Afterwards, I gave feedback and talked with my supervisor on what project she wants me to work on. I think I would a great for it and I am excited to jump right in! Today (Wednesday the 15th), I went over the CPALMS standards in more depth and reviewed current history education programs (K-5) and the civics programs (6-8 and 9-12). I also got my Orange County ID badge!      Overall, this week was very chill. I am enjoying what I am doing and I cannot wait to get started on my project. I already have some ideas in mind for lesson plans and more! I am very excited to continue this internship, and it has been a great experience so far.  See You All Next Week, Sabrina A.
