Week 5

 Good Afternoon Blog!

    I had a very successful Week 5 of my internship! It was very fun and I got a lot done. This week, I developed more upon ideas I had come up with in the previous weeks and started to get the lesson plans more organized and formally written. I had to leave early both days, so I did not do as much as I had hoped, but my supervisor seemed pleased with what I had done. Monday is where I continued working on activity rough drafts in my activity rough draft sheet. I came up with a few more ideas that I want to utilize for my lesson plans and project! I also revisited past ideas and revised those and thought them out a little more. 

    Wednesday (today) I put those rough ideas into separate sheet so I can better organize them. I only wrote out a few lesson plans more formally, focusing on them one at a time. This way I was able to think through them, get them down into more formal writing that would sent to schools, organize the directions and better plan out the activities I have thought out for the kids. I developed three lesson plans today out of the eight rough drafts that I have written. These lesson plans center around specific school standards for civic and government. For example, one I worked on today was a Gallery Walk centered around Independent Regulatory Agencies. Now that I have the general writing down, I am able to work on the specifics of these lesson plans and utilize other resources, like Canva. 

    I am very excited to continue with my work. Making these lesson plans were a lot harder than I thought, but I am enjoying it a lot. I feel a sense of pride in knowing that my work could help middle and high schoolers learn about these important topics. It is exciting to think that my work could be used in schools. I love making trying to make learning fun, and I think it is important for them to retain information in an engaging way. 

Until Next Time,

Sabrina.

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.

Week 6

 Good Afternoon!     Hello Blog! I am writing this on a beautiful Thursday Afternoon, and I have finished my internship work for the week. Not much happened this week, and it was slow compared to others, but it did get some work done. Monday I got sent home early as I was feeling quite sick, so I did not do much that day. I did finish up one of my rough drafts before leaving though. I also made sure to share to my work with my supervisor so the next time I came in there would feedback that I could work off of.      Wednesday, I left early, but I did begin working more in depth with the feedback I was given. Out the 8 or so rough drafts I had been working on, I want to work on maybe 2 or 3 in more depth. I began working on my first one and writing out the specifics and reorganizing everything. Next week is when I will work more in depth with the other rough drafts. I revised and edited the first one to look more formal and professional. My first activity les...
