Mind in a Million Places

There are fragments of knowledge in my brain; about life, teaching, literature...which one am I going to use in the classroom? Student teaching is only 3 weeks away. A new semester not in the student's desk, but in front of the students, teaching them. I hope I'm ready. Methods courses have given me ideas about teaching English and I know about classroom discipline, but what am I going to do if I freeze? What if my students hate me? Seventh grade pupils will be the harshest of critics. I am armed with the knowledge of an Education background, but it is the knowledge I gained in life about the profession of teaching that will carry me through. I already love teaching and I haven't stepped into the classroom yet...
